Percy Williams Homes a long established home builder in Cornwall have just had their new website go live, using the latest technology from Joomla 1.5.7 version. They have incorporated a number of components to streamline their user experience which include eXtplorer for their back-end file management, Raf Cloud for their tagging component, sh404SEF providing search engine friendly URLs and Xmap for their site map. The template is based on the RedEvo Aphelion which has been graphically modified as well as the using template overrides to force the content heading to become the H1 tag for the page rather than the website name thus creating a better search engine friendly site.

Future development for this site that are planned are to add a blog and an image gallery using Expose Gallery.

Percy Williams have been building quality homes in Cornwall since 1921 and have been continually pushing the boundaries of green building technologies. This has resulted in them being able to provide eco friendly buildings which can be run at a fraction of the cost of conventional buildings. They are excited about gaining a wider audience for their state of art buildings with use of the latest technology for Joomla. Anna Barrington from Channel Computing, developer of the site says “We have enjoyed working with a company who is so aware of problems in todays environment and are doing something about it, and are confident that their new site will help them achieve the planned goals for their business”.
