News from Atol Solutions

Atol Solutions will again embark on a new venture with Create on a Whim, with owner and creator Amy Jones residing in Mishawaka, Indiana. She decided to blow new life into that portion of her business activities after 3 years. We are proud to receive her trust in Atol Solutions again! And a good thing we still had her site in our archives.

On a Whim provides services for Interior and Landscape Design, creates residential and commercial planters, as well as custom wreaths and gift baskets.

Todate we have been able to upgrade various sites to Joomla 5 for our clients.

Completed are www.malawitravel.org; www.berryvincenta.com; www.atol-solutions.com;  www.bodybalanceanneloes.nl, berresartisans.com, simonschellevis.nl, brendawmills.com, hudsonvalleyauctioneers.com, atol-webmastering.com, dehartcirkel.nl, continuous-improvement-agency.com, soon to be completed toddysknoxville.com, petrakersten.com, aiamassage.com and tngcentre sites (6).

It is quite a project, due to Joomla 4/5, and the cost for our customers is also more than it ought to be. But it needs to be done!

Thanks to our partner in India and their great work!

Keep you posted!

HAPPY 2025 to ALL.

WE have started the project to migrate all Atol Solutions managed sites to Joomla 5. 

Joomla 1.5, 2.5 and 3.x are no longer supported. Joomla 3.10 finished the Security Support Phase. So time to migrate to Joomla 4 & 5.

Embracing Change:…Why Joomla 5’s Requirement for MySQL 8 is a Leap Forward

an interesting article.

This upgrade is lots of work as software suppliers have either decided to stop Joomla Development or stopped all together. This means sites need, replacemenent of template, convert K2 publishing to native Joomla content, replace K2 modules or alter source and much more.

Together with our Partners in India we started the project and sofar have finished 3 complex sites.

If you have a need for similar migration of your site, contact us.

Continuous Improvement Agency (CIA) is opgericht, om voor industriële klanten projectmatige zaken op te pakken terwijl ze zelf focus kunnen houden op hun operationele taken.

Klanten profiteren van 30 jaar internationale projectervaring die reikt van concept studie tot oplevering.

CIA heeft een uitgebreid netwerk van betrouwbare leveranciers en staat hierbij garant voor een naadloze inpassing in Uw organisatie.

We ontwierpen en leverden een professionele site voor CIA. Aangezien de zaak nog maar net is opgestart, hebben we de inhoud beperkt tot de behoeften van de klant op dit moment en hebben we hem gebouwd op het nieuwste Joomla (5) content management systeem.

CIA kan dus portfolio van projecten opvoeren, overzicht van klanten, emailing en nieuws/blogs maken

We kijken uit naar een duurzame relatie en het was een genoegen om zaken met jullie te doen en de site te maken.

Some time ago we were contacted by Anneloes Velda the owner of Body Balance Anneloes ~ Manueel Praktizijn® in Makkum Friesland. BBA provides therapeutic service like Shiatsu, Bodycushion, Acupuncture, specialized preganancy massage and sells magnesium products for your well-being. "The power of Touch" is the main focus.

The website of BBA could not be updated any longer due to outdated plugins and cost of applying new ones would be too costly. Also the owner could not have access to the domain/hosting service. So we went to remedy quickly.

We are supporters of the TREEZ project in Malawi to help them and Malawi to become a greener place again!!

We strive to protect and preserve one day at a time

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it is not.

Dr Seuss - The Lorax

Due to the increase in population and the need for woodfuel for cooking and heating, Malawi has lost 85% of its trees in the last 20 years, and as the graph shows: at current rates of population growth and deforestation, by 2025 the country will no longer have enough biomass to sustain the population. 

Some time ago we were contacted by Alan Joffe, owner of the lodge on a recommendation of Malawi Travel. The website was down due to the Corona times. We tried to resolve with Godaddy, however their policy is such that in that situation the site is retained for only 1 month, despite being a long-standing customer, and so the website was lost. Thus we went on the adventure to get the Lodge back online, fast!
