Rebuild Simple 40-Page Website in Joomla 6

Hi Neil, do you need the Joomla 6 rebuild to preserve the old site’s URL structure exactly, including menu aliases and any required 301 redirects, or can the new site use a fresh URL structure based on the supplied page list?

Neil, I left to ask some important queries to kickstart. Please share your input and consider everything done.

1) Could you please share the screenshots of all pages for review?

2) Do you already have a fresh Joomla 6 installation, or should we set that up as part of the project?

3) Will you provide the domain hosting and FTP/cPanel access for the final deployment?

4) Are there any forms (contact, enquiry, newsletter) that need to be recreated?

5) Is there any SEO data to preserve, such as existing URLs, meta titles, descriptions, or redirects?

6) Are there any downloadable files (PDFs, brochures, documents) that should be included?

7) Will all images be supplied in their original/high-resolution format?

8)Should the new website match the existing layout exactly, or are minor improvements for responsiveness acceptable?

9) Is the original navigation structure (menus and page hierarchy) to remain unchanged?

10) Do you have a preferred Joomla template, or should we recommend a lightweight Joomla 6 compatible template?

It would be great if you address my all queries and it will help me to create a development action plan. Lets connect

Are the 30 to 40 pages roughly equal in complexity, or are a few pages, like a homepage or services page, more detailed than the rest? This changes how the pages are best sequenced during the build.

Since the original site was compromised through outdated extensions, is there a preference for keeping the site extension-light going forward, or are one or two trusted extensions fine if needed for something like a contact form?

For the review stage, would you prefer feedback covered in one full round after the entire staging build, or would checking a batch of pages as they're completed work better for you?

Hello. One thing I'd want to define early is how the existing website structure and content hierarchy should be mapped into Joomla 6, since a clean rebuild is the right opportunity to avoid carrying over outdated extensions or security issues. I'd recommend recreating the site using Joomla's native content management features and a lightweight template approach to keep it secure, fast, and easy to maintain. Do you already have the original Joomla menu structure available, or should that be reconstructed from the provided screenshots?

I'd approach this by setting up a clean Joomla 6 environment, recreating all pages and navigation, implementing a responsive template, optimizing images, testing across devices, and migrating the approved version safely to the production hosting.

I've worked with Joomla, WordPress, PHP-based CMS platforms, responsive frontend development, and website migrations, including rebuilding legacy websites, removing technical debt, and delivering clean maintainable installations.

I'd be glad to rebuild your brochure website accurately on Joomla 6 and provide a stable foundation for future maintenance.

Could you let me know if you already have the Joomla 6 hosting environment prepared, or should the migration include the initial server setup as well?

Hello,

Thank you for sharing the project details. I have a few questions to better understand the scope:

1.Do you want the new website to use a specific Joomla 6 template, or should I select/build a suitable responsive template matching the screenshots?
2. Are the screenshots provided for all pages, including mobile views, or only desktop versions?
3. Do you have the original website URL or any remaining Joomla backup/database files available for reference?
4. Are there any specific Joomla extensions required, or should I use only Joomla core features where possible?
5. Should the rebuilt website include SEO settings such as metadata, URL structure, sitemap, and redirects from the old website?
6. Will you provide the hosting access for the final migration, and what hosting environment is the client using?

Thank you. I look forward to reviewing the materials and starting the project.
