Zebra Systems, Inc. is the NY Corporation that I, Stewart Newfeld, formed in 1983.

I keep Zebra going to conduct three activities:

1- Provide Joomla website development and support  services                                           
2- Sell Timex/Sinclair computer products from the 1980's on ebay                                     
3- Practice and teach electronics and makerspace technologies to adults and children

Joomla Site Design and Maintenance

Stewart Newfeld Casual Headshot CroppedStewart Newfeld

Welcome.  If you are looking for someone to design or maintain a Joomla website, you've found the right person.  I've been designing websites since the late 1990s and discovered the Joomla Content Management System in 2012.  I am experienced, available, my rates are reasonable, and if there is an aspect of Joomla or something else that I am not expert in, I know many Joomla designers and developers that I can collaborate with or refer you to.

Remove Malware From Hacked Sites

If you know your website has been hacked I can remove the malware from it.  If you are not sure, I can scan it. I can work to determine how it got infected and take remedial action, which might consist of:  changing passwords, implementing 2-factor authentication, Google CAPTCHA on form submissions, updating insecure Joomla versions and Joomla Extension versions, and making sure you are following safe procedures like only using Secure FTP and not FTP to access your site.  

Joomla 4 is coming this year!

When Joomla 4 is released later this year, there will be a grace period, but eventually Joomla.org will stop releasing security updates to Joomla 3. 

I've been testing  Joomla 4 Beta releases and some pre-release Joomla 4 extensions.  Some developers are waiting for the official release of Joomla 4, and some developers will either release their extensions late or not at all.  If you are planning changes to your Joomla site, it is wise to switch to extensions that will support Joomla 4.

Who does your content updates?

Content-Updates

ANSWER #1:  I Do It
Most of my clients email me content and I format it for their website.  Often we have live screenshare sessions.

ANSWER #2 :  You do some of  it 
I have some clients who update photos to photo albums and add individual articles within categories, but this only seems to succeed when they do it with some regularity, otherwise they often forget the process.  Also I have some clients who enjoy putting content up and only call me to make format adjustments for them or when they get stuck with doing something new.

Mailing List Management & Marketing

ACYmailing

Mailchimp

I can help you manage your email campaigns, segment mailing lists, clean dirty lists, import and export records form Excel and different databases and applications, and registration systems.  The AcyMailing Joomla extension and MailChimp are the products I most frequently use independently or in conjunction with webstie sign-up forms and databases.  

Individual and Group Training

I love teaching one-on-one in-person, via screen share, or in a classroom environment.  If your job title or employment just changed and you find yourself in need of learning to build or maintain a Joomla website, I can train you via remote screen-sharing sessions and when appropriate, create custom training videos for you.  

Domain Name Registration & Hosting

I can help you choose, register, or transfer domain names and setup or transfer hosting for your site.GoDaddy SitegroundSiteGround is my favorite hosting provider for Joomla websites, but I have worked with many other hosting companies including Rackspace, HostMySite, Bluehost, and Hostgator.  Siteground has the best Joomla hosting support I know of and they generally will migrate sites from another host for free and quite competantly.GoDaddyI prefer GoDaddy for Domain Registration, but I have used Network Solutions,  and others. 

Google SEO & Internet Marketing

When I design your website, I always have in mind best practices for "Search Engine Optimization" (SEO),  as well as building your site so it gets viewers to take the action you want them to; wheter it is to call you,  purchase your merchandise, donate or participate in your non-profit cause, raise awareness, etc.
