Mistake Number One: The Client Thinking that they do not need to be involved in the process

Joomla! CMS for simple sites with prepared contend and well defined design specs on a site that does not change could be handed off to a team to “just build this” but sites with any type of dynamic and changing content requires a very hands on approach from the client to be effective.

Since the shift from  static web sites through the introduction of the dynamic website revolution there is been a battle between where and when a client should be actively involved in the process of developing their site and where they can or should hand off aspects of the development. This is highly contrasted by the size of the budget and diversity of the stakeholders. The client almost always has superior subject matter expertise on their content while the Joomla! CMS support team has theirs in the framework, project execution and technology. We have found that every project is unique in these areas and there is not a one size fits all that works for any project.

Measure twice and cut once!

This is good advice for building a Joomla Portal especially when comparing components.

Comparing Joomla! CMS extensions can be a real challenge and very time consuming but it is an essential step in the development process. You are going to want to make sure you choose the right components for the right job and make sure that they will be easy to support for the long haul. If you do not this can drive your (or your clients) support costs through the roof and leave you and your customers very frustrated.
