Joomla is considered to be the most commonly-used content management system for developing websites. Whether you want to build a blogging site, a job portal, a business website or an online store, Joomla appears as the perfect web development tool. Although developing a Joomla site is not complex but as a potential site owner it becomes crucial for you to look into various aspects of developing the site without committing any silly or easily-avoidable mistakes.

If you too are a Joomla developer then you might be well aware about the significance of developing websites without committing any mistakes. Well, I would like to ask all my readers, how many times have you actually developed a website without committing any mistakes. I’m sure most of you shall answer zero (0). Often developers tend to commit mistakes which’re the results of mere carelessness.

Below, I have covered some common mistakes committed by developers during custom Joomla development.

  • Copy pasting content from MS Word- Simply copy pasting content from MS Word to Joomla editor affects the font style of content, thereby decreasing the ranking for your website. So, it is recommended to copy the content into a notepad before copying directly into the editor.

  • Not re-sizing the images- A majority of Joomla developers do not pay heed to re-sizing the images as per the content. Doing this tends to increase the web page loading time, thereby making the site slow and non-professional.

  • Not using 301 re-direction in case of broken links- Being a major reason behind website failure, broken links should never be ignored during the website development process. Yet, there are web developers who tend to ignore the presence of these broken links and do not opt for a 301 re-direction. This is a major mistake and requires immediate attention.

  • Not changing the default username- Most of the developers never care about changing the default username from ‘admin’ to something else. This offers an easy route to the hackers who’re making constant efforts to hack your website. So, in order to ensure complete security of your website, ask your developers to avoid making such a silly mistake.

  • Not adding the necessary security plug-ins- Security is the major concern of every website owner. Irrespective of your site’s theme, non-compliance with the website security standards may lead to losing prospective customers. Some developers follow their habit of not including the necessary security plug-ins while developing a website. This is quite threatening for the website’s future and as the site owner you should never forget asking your developer about this.

Now that you’re aware about these common blunders made by Joomla programmers,, it’s time for you to find measures that’ll aid you in keeping a quick check on these flaws. Being a little more cautious during handling a custom Joomla development project is what’s required from web developers. I’m sure avoiding the above mentioned blunders will undoubtedly lead your website development project towards the path of success and you’ll be able to attain your business goals at a much faster rate.
