: Government website built using Design Control free template
: makotosun January 29, 2015, 03:42:30 PM
I just finished (are they ever really done!) a new website for a court in Washington. It is built on Joomla 3.3 and is the official site for our court. The template is really flexible and the site is mobile friendly!

Www.CowlitzSuperiorCourt.us (http://Www.CowlitzSuperiorCourt.us)

Looks Good!

Maybe add some sub-text to the Home menu item that says "Return Home." That should bring the blue all the way to the bottom.

That's a good idea! Thanks!

are you not worried about govt sites being hacked? how is joomla regarding the security and hacking? and I always worried about 3rd party apps being legit, it can easily look cool, but give up a lot of info? thoughts and opinions??

Our site has been online for several years in one form or another. Is a government information only site any more of a target for a hacker than a retail site which collects CC numbers and other personal information?

We use several respected plug-ins to protect against hacking, and the site is not set to have folks self register.

We also neither collect, nor host, any personal information, just basically information and downloadable forms. I also run several other joomla sites with similar protection enabled and we have had really no issues.

We feel reasonably comfortable using extensions and plug-ins from respected vendors. If someone is building poor quality or really insecure apps, the word gets out pretty quickly. We are comfortable with the extensions we use.

We don't lose a lot of sleep over it because there is really no damage, other than the lost time to set it back up, that would result. I suppose someone could post up something to embarrass us, but really little else.

Not site is completely hack proof, so we rely on good backups of the site, and make sure we back up any time any changes are made so the backups are current, plus regularly scheduled backups. It takes about 1/2 hour to re-set it up from a backup.

Looks very nice. I like the feel like you're going into a physical government office.

Hello,

Just make sure you enable the S5 Flex Menu Plugin and then you can specify the sub - text under the Menu Parent item.
