MyTF: A Joomla Template Design Package for Mobile Devices

Abstract

Websites are created using programming languages such as HTML or content management systems (CMS). There are various technologies supporting the development of websites such as content management systems, JavaScript and ASP, thus numerous types of websites exist. Users access these websites through mobile devices and desktop systems. These users require access to websites that are easy to load, display content on small screens and have fast page loading speed. The existing web management systems are deficient in regards to meeting the needs of mobile device users. Thus, the aim of this project is to develop a template design package that will allow customized website access for mobile devices. The package utilized an existing web content management system platform called Joomla for the development while using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach. The tested package showed compatibility on mobile devices with positive results.
