Our team is currently working on a project management tool extension for Joomla! 1.6. In short, the goal of our extensions is to provide user-friendly tool for everybody to manage his projects across all parts of their production cycles

During last few weeks we worked on implementing nested tables and many other cool features. If you want to know more about our progress and what obstacles we had to overcome in order to get nested tables to work, keep reading.

What has been done since the last post?

I would say a lot, but you probably want to hear more details about that. As I said in my previous post, we worked on managing documents and tasks  and a little on design of our views. At this point, we are pretty much satisfied with the current state of our project.

Over the last few months we've been interviewing developers who have worked on widely popular Joomla sites. However, not every successful Joomla developer has sites with a shelf full of awards or 5 million visitors per month.

We're now going to turn our attention to other types of successful web design firms. We're particularly interested in how people make a living with Joomla. In a new series of interviews we're going to investigate how people like you are able to leverage Joomla, start their own businesses, become independent or work to achieve other goals.

First we interviewed Allie Whitney from Global Nomad. She works with unemployed locals on the Tibetan Plateau in western China, providing free training and hiring them to become Joomla web developers.

This week we're talking about a similar topic, interviewing Jen Kramer from 4Web, Inc about how she succeeds with her Joomla business despite living in a small, rural town.

Tell us about 4Web and where you’re located.

We are located in Keene, New Hampshire in the United States. It is a small town of 20,000 people located in the southwestern corner of New Hampshire. Keene is the “big city” in this region. You have to drive 50-60 miles to reach New Hampshire’s largest cities (Concord, Manchester, and Nashua) and roughly 100 miles to Boston. Keene State College is one of our major employers.

4Web is run by Jen has been working with Joomla since the Mambo days. Prior to owning 4Web, Jen worked as a freelancer from 2000-2008 under her previous business, Focused Consulting LLC. Initially she built a lot of Dreamweaver sites but made the switch to Mambo in 2005. Heidi was one of Jen’s star students at Marlboro College Graduate School, where she graduated in 2008. Heidi has worked part-time for 4Web for the past year.
