New Joomla websites
Business websites built around your services, content and customers, with responsive layouts, clear navigation and ongoing technical care agreed from the start.
SPECIALIST JOOMLA CAREJoomla development.
Joomla development.
Support that stays human.
IT Giant provides specialist Joomla development, managed support, maintenance, upgrades and security recovery for South African businesses. We assess established sites and extensions before recommending continued Joomla care or a planned migration.
THE PRACTICAL DETAILS
Preserve what works. Address what does not.
We start with the real condition of your site, its extensions and its hosting. That gives you a practical decision between ongoing care, an upgrade or a planned move.
Security and version review
Review Joomla versions, extensions and the hosting environment to identify update requirements and visible maintenance risks.
Extension troubleshooting
Support for established Joomla sites and extensions such as RSForm, VirtueMart and K2, subject to version compatibility and available support.
Hosting and environment care
PHP, database and hosting requirements are reviewed alongside the site. Unsupported versions may require migration rather than continued patching.
Backups before major changes
A recovery route and appropriate staging are planned before significant upgrades or migrations. Backup availability and restoration are checked as part of the scope.
Migration without a blind leap
Assess Joomla-to-WordPress and WordPress-to-Joomla migrations against the business requirements. Map content, useful URLs and functionality before work; extensions and themes may need replacements.
Keep the useful search history
Important existing pages should point to relevant replacements. Redirect planning is part of a properly scoped migration, not an afterthought.
Joomla security repair and hacked-site recovery
Investigate suspected compromises and assess files, logs, access and backups. Agree the cleanup and recovery work after assessment; replacing files alone does not establish that an account is safe.
IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT?
For businesses with an established Joomla investment.
Tell us the site address, what still works and what is causing trouble. We will assess the next step rather than promising that every old extension can be made safe or compatible.
- Existing Joomla content and custom features
- Sites needing maintenance or upgrade planning
- A considered transition to WordPress
Plan the related services together.
Check hosting compatibility and capacity alongside upgrades with managed Joomla hosting.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
A few things you might be wondering.
Something more specific? You can speak to a real person.
Ask our teamWill you force us to move to WordPress?
No. We review the actual platform and business requirement first. Where continued Joomla care is sensible, we discuss that. Where unsupported software is a risk, we explain the migration options.
Can you help after a suspected compromise?
We can assess the incident and plan recovery. A clean upload alone does not establish that the hosting account is safe. Hosting access, logs and remaining files may need investigation.
Can every old Joomla extension be updated?
No. Availability and compatibility depend on the specific version and developer support. A replacement or redevelopment may be necessary and would be quoted separately.
Can you improve Joomla performance?
We can review extensions, images, caching and hosting to identify practical changes. The work and validation depend on the site and its compatibility requirements.
