Our Websites Bring Results
Your Customer is One Click Away
You're probably just one click away from your next customer, not 50, 100, or a thousand miles away. We want your customer's next click to be for you.
Why Choose Ez Information Management?
I've been building websites since the mid-1990s. I build sites with the emerging standards of HTML, XHTML, and the robust content management system called Joomla. I limit my work to a few customers where I can provide personal service.
Four Qualities We Strive For
1
Promoting
We tailor your website design to effectively promote your products or services. With a user-friendly interface, we will highlight your offerings and encourage interaction with potential customers. We prioritize creating a simple and informative website to attract more clients and increase sales.
2
Empowering
Your website design will feature a user-friendly interface that lets you or your staff update and edit the content as often as needed.
Most editing and article creation activities require no more skills than using a word processor.
3
Inviting
Our website design for you will attract a large number of visitors. We will have a nice layout, be easy to use, and have interesting content to keep people interested. We will ensure our website looks good on mobile phones, too, since most people use them to surf the internet. We will also include prompts to encourage visitors to learn more about your products and services.
4
Supporting
We will continue to support you after we build your website. We will keep the website code up to date and provide free monthly services to help you with minor content updates. If you need more changes, our hourly rate is very affordable. We are here to help you!
Consultation Services
Request for Proposal
We have an online form to help you review your website requirements. When you complete this form, it's a start for you and us. We will follow up with detailed interviews and even prototype models you can explore to refine what is essential. Doing that first helps us avoid "scope creep," which adds extra costs and time to a project.

- As soon as you launch your new website, it might already feel outdated.
- Someone else may release a better feature.
- Your products might change.
- You might update your services.
- Competitors may make changes, and you need to respond.
- You might even find an error.
- Or you see something to improve.
The worst thing to do is nothing.
Your Customer is One Click Away
- Plan for fixes and updates from the start.
- For simple mistakes, quickly edit articles or data in your tool. Fix errors before they hurt your credibility.
- Updates: In Joomla, most updates are just a click. But someone still needs to do it.
- Tool Replacement: Replacing a module is easy, but if the tool manages data, be ready to rebuild your data.
Below are three websites that demonstrate different layout and formatting options.
Hickman County Public Library.
This single-page design is optimized for mobile phones, where people prefer scrolling over clicking through pages.
I trained the library staff to operate the website and keep it current. I rarely have to do anything because they can do it all.
Farm Service Solutions
This business sells a wide range of farm equipment for cattle handling and tractors. Since these items are large and costly, they aren’t sold online. Instead, the website displays multiple photos and details for each item, including manufacturer, price, and date acquired. The owner can easily keep inventory up to date with high-quality photos.
Below is a screenshot of their grass and hay equipment inventory. The site is mobile-friendly, with advanced search and easy scrolling.
Dust-n-Shavings
A local woodcarver shows his work, including realistic and imaginative carvings of people, bowls, spoons, and relief carvings.
We Use Joomla. The Best Content Management System
We use Joomla because it's a modern content management system with more built-in features than WordPress and is easier to use than Drupal. Joomla gives you full control over your website’s content and security. If you can use a word processor, you can manage your site—or we can do it for you. Joomla supports a wide range of website designs and is ideal for most businesses and organizations. It also has a strong global developer community.
