Drupal vs Halogy
Posted: 15th Oct 2009
I have been using Drupal this week to build a website with a shop (Ubercart), user login, and obviously content managed areas. I built the HTML/CSS from a provided design (as you normally would), and then went about uploading it to Drupal and setting up the Shop.
It took me the best part of 8-10 hours to install, configure and set up this website (not including the time taken to build the HTML/CSS). It wasn't very easy, and I had to download a lot of modules and configure them just to get a shop running. Please read on...
CMS Template Design and Build
Posted: 1st Oct 2009
We have just finished designing and building some templates for Halogy CMS.
The process is similar to other CMS like Wordpress or Drupal - do the information architecture design, design the look and feel in Photoshop, then build it in to HTML/CSS. The next part will be integrating it in to the CMS. We are pleased with what we've done so far.
What we do.

Most of our business is now providing CMS powered websites to new businesses and web agencies. Because of our experience and work-flow we are able to offer very competitive fixed fees for our service.
For example, did you know that we can provide a CMS powered website, with template build and support for under £500 ($750)?
We recently launched a new face to Haloweb which does exactly what it says on the tin. CMS PHP provides the design, template build and support for a low, fixed price. And what's more we support many CMS (e.g. Wordpress, Drupal, Halogy).
So if you want us to help you out in this area, email us!
CMS PHP
Posted: 18th Sep 2009
As clients of Haloweb will know, we have been working with content management systems for the last 4-5 years, designing CMS powered websites and supporting them.
Well we are launching a new face to Haloweb which is CMS PHP - a very specific service that designs templates for a website, installs them in to any PHP based CMS, and provides ongoing support for £15.00 per month (or $20.00 /pm).
The site has just gone live, in fact it took us just 1 day to design, build and integrate in to Halogy thanks to the new Halogy Template Import tool (we'll cover this shortly)!

Our Ethos (Web Development Process)
Posted: 31st Aug 2009
I thought I would just share a bit about how we think the web development process should work - from when a client submits a brief to the site being handed over (and beyond). We are calling this the Halogy Ethos because it forms the basis of why we built Halogy.
CodeIgniter E-Commerce Software

Well we are very pleased with our new Halogy powered E-Commerce software. We have just finishing making some new updates to the software which up until now has only really been quite basic.

Halogy - the "website in a box" solution
Posted: 1st Mar 2009
A lot of people have similar requirements for their websites. They need a nicely designed template, a CMS (Content Management System) so they can update their pages, a Shop and perhaps cool stuff like a blog or a group email deployment system.
Normally they would hire a web company in to build this site bespoke, tailored to their needs and the costs would be a fortune. But today us web developers rarely re-invent the wheel each time this scenario comes up. We can use systems that do all of the above and where all of the hard work has been done already. We have our own system and it's called Halogy.
