New York (PRWEB) June 16, 2012

It is quite common to see businesses in New York get confused over which platform to choose for their websites. Most experts agree that Joomla is the perfect platform to create web portals. Written entirely in PHP, Joomla is currently used by over a million websites all over the world. Some of the worlds popular e-Commerce CMS sites like Citibank, MTV and many more use Joomla. With amazing flexibility and cutting edge functions, Joomla is also a stable CMS to develop, operate and upgrade. Asahi Technologies, a New York based Web Development firm has launched custom modules specially developed for Joomla to help businesses across New York adapt to evolving web technologies.

Unlike many other frameworks, Joomlas multi-lingual support feature is very helpful when creating non-English websites. The best examples would be the customized Portuguese website of Porsche Brazil or the French website for Kelloggs. These were developed on Joomla platform without any hiccups. It remains as one of the striking features of Joomla in web development. Most e-Commerce experts and developers seem to echo this positive review on Joomla CMS.

One of the major reasons why websites migrate to Joomla is the adequate security measures in the Joomla architecture. Most of HTML based websites are often prone to security risks, since Joomla is written in PHP and MYSQL code it is easier to identify and eradicate malicious content intruding websites. Besides that users can also find security updates and patches in Joomla forums and community for current security issues said Vinod Subbaiah, CEO of Asahi Technologies, who was also an e-Commerce CMS developer during early days of his career.

“While Joomla gets used by over 1 million new businesses worldwide for their web portals, businesses would certainly need customized modules to gain competitive advantage. Our custom modules would serve the very purpose” adds Vinod.

Although there are plenty of custom tools like Prestashop, ZenCart and OpenCart to enhance business development on the web, Joomla remains to be the most reliable and efficient e-Commerce CMS and its popularity is growing from one level to another.

HealthCompare to Release Ebooks to Help Health Insurance Consumers

Posted on by

Orange, California (PRWEB) August 10, 2012

HealthCompare is a nationally acclaimed health insurance comparison site that offers consumers something others in their field do not: compassion.

Through various means of education, HealthCompare has consistently demonstrated a need to help consumers.

Early on, they encouraged shoppers to delve deep into their needs and wants when it comes to coverage so they make informed decisions. They did this by asking questions that many consumers didnt consider when shopping for health insurance.

The questions they encouraged site visitors to ask were like:

What are the consumers current health care needs? Do they currently require medication? Does the consumer have a pre-existing condition? Or are they seeking to start a family in the near future?

Does the financial state of the shopper allow for a lower deductible, thusly giving them a higher monthly premium? Or would having a high deductible (and therefore lower monthly premium) be more beneficial?

Is the consumers physician a factor? If they prefer to continue seeing their doctor of choice, HealthCompare helps them decide what policies allow that.

Are there any other health insurance options for the shopper, such as spouse or parent plan?

By helping the visitor understand their needs, they are able to make better informed decisions about policies that they would actually benefit from.

Continuing their goal of education, HealthCompare, then, designed and released infographics that illustrate the difficulties associated with health insurance.

Understanding the inherent difficulty in their industry, they saw the benefit to consumers in their investing and releasing graphics that would make the hard-to-understand easy. These graphics use colors and images combined with data to help explain topics without the jargon.

Some of the infographics released are:

Getting An Online Health Insurance Quote Made Easy – Designed to aid consumers in getting an effective medical policy quote

Instant Health Insurance Quotes May Not Be All They Seem – Illustrates the need for consumers to be wary when accepting insurance quotes

Beware Of Instant Health Insurance – Conveys how some offers of instant health insurance may or may not be legitimate

Get An Individual Health Quote The Right Way – Designed to educate consumers on the proper way to obtain effective health insurance quotes

Other infographics can be found here.

HealthCompare wants to continue on their journey of education consumers and making peoples lives better, which is why they have stepped into the publishing arena.

Seeing the growing trend in the ebook field, they are choosing to reach more and more shoppers than ever before, as more Americans are reading than ever, thanks to the affordability and portability of ereaders.

As with the questions asked on their site and the infographics, these ebooks are going to be the next avenue of education. Their goal is to help shoppers make their lives better and will cover topics ranging from marriage to divorce, parenthood to college survival. HealthCompare will use the different stages which consumers pass through to address difficult issues and to help them make the most of their lives.

The ebooks were scheduled for release on August 6, but have since been pushed back to mid-August. There will be a new title released each week.

About Health Compare: HealthCompare was launched in 2009 to work with brokers and carriers to help individuals and families easily research, compare, buy, and enroll in the right health insurance plan at the right price. Based in Orange, Calif., it delivers accurate, customized, health insurance quotes for the country’s diverse population.

Through a unique partnership with its sister company, CONEXIS, HealthCompare has the ability to quickly reach thousands of COBRA-qualifying consumers and provide them with COBRA alternatives at the moment they become eligible for COBRA benefits. This provides these consumers with an opportunity to enroll in individual or family plans and potentially save hundreds to thousands of dollars on COBRA premiums and, at the same time, rewards referring brokers with referral fee income for the life of each policy.

New Ebooks from HealthCompare to Help Educate Today’s Health Insurance Consumers

Posted on by

Orange, California (PRWEB) July 23, 2012

HealthCompare is a nationally recognized health insurance comparison site that is releasing their own line of books to educate American health insurance consumers. Noting the large gap in health insurance knowledge among consumers, HealthCompare made it their mission to close that gap and teach consumers how to make their most effective choices in policies.

Their journey towards education began when they began asking probing questions of site visitors that would enable the visitor to arm themselves with powerful knowledge before making any decisions.

Knowing what their needs were prior to researching insurance policies helped them to make the right decisions. Questions HealthCompare asked the consumers were:

What are the consumers current health care needs? Do they currently require medication? Does the consumer have a pre-existing condition? Or are they seeking to start a family in the near future?

Does the financial state of the shopper allow for a lower deductible, thusly giving them a higher monthly premium? Or would having a high deductible (and therefore lower monthly premium) be more beneficial?

Is the consumers physician a factor? If they prefer to continue seeing their doctor of choice, HealthCompare helps them decide what policies allow that.

Are there any other health insurance options for the shopper, such as spouse or parent plan?

Once consumers get their quotes, HealthCompare then helps them narrow their decisions by prompting them to ask further questions, like:

How much will the policies being compared cost them from their pocket when considering deductibles, co-insurance, and co-pays?

What will the policies being compared offer in terms of maximum out-of-pocket expense?

Will the consumers office visits be covered?

Do any of the policies up for comparison offer maternity?

Is prescription drug coverage an option?

How much will the consumer pay for emergency services and ambulances?

Will the current primary physician and local hospitals be accepted under any of the policies being considered?

Health insurance costs are much more involved than mere premiums and buyers must carefully consider all out of pocket expenses to understand what their policies will ultimately cost them.

Thats why HealthCompare knew they couldnt stop there. Their journey to continue education evolved from questions into infographics.

Infographics are tools that effectively distill the essentials of a complex topic into an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand format. That format is a graphic that includes images and colors and incorporates them with data that depicts topic highlights without getting bogged down in jargon and industry lingo that few people understand.

Some infographics that HealthCompare released are:

How To Find Affordable Health Insurance – Designed to help health insurance consumers find affordable health insurance

Buying Health Insurance – Designed to help todays health insurance shopper buy health insurance online

Finding Cheap Health Insurance – Created to educate consumers on the best ways to find cheap health insurance

What To Look For In Childrens Health Insurance – Designed to educate to help todays consumers ask the right questions about childrens health insurance

Find Health Insurance Online – Created to help health insurance shoppers to find effective health insurance online

Other infographics can be found here.

Not stopping there, HealthCompare chose to release the latest trend in information technology: ebooks.

Aware of the ever-growing popularity of ebooks, they saw an opportunity to reach even more consumers in hopes to empower them to make the right decisions when it comes to their healthcare policies.

The ebooks will begin weekly release in August and will cover wide ranges of topics to reach wide ranges of consumers. There will be titles ranging from college survival to becoming self-employed.

About Health Compare: HealthCompare was launched in 2009 to work with brokers and carriers to help individuals and families easily research, compare, buy, and enroll in the right health insurance plan at the right price. Based in Orange, Calif., it delivers accurate, customized, health insurance quotes for the country’s diverse population.

This provides these consumers with an opportunity to enroll in individual or family plans and potentially save hundreds to thousands of dollars on COBRA premiums and, at the same time, rewards referring brokers with referral fee income for the life of each policy.

(PRWEB) June 12, 2012

HealthCompare, a nationally recognized health insurance comparison site, is releasing new tools in their attempt to help Americans who are in search of health insurance. HealthCompare, who consistently displays concern for consumers, asks visitors that come to their site to ask themselves a series of questions before attempting to find health insurance coverage. These questions are designed to help shoppers decipher what type of coverage is best for them in terms of cost and type of policy.

The questions that HealthCompare encourages consumers to ask themselves are:

What are the consumers current health care needs? Do they currently require medication? Does the consumer have a pre-existing condition? Or are they seeking to start a family in the near future?

Does the financial state of the shopper allow for a lower deductible, thusly giving them a higher monthly premium? Or would having a high deductible (and therefore lower monthly premium) be more beneficial?

Infographics are unique graphics that are growing in popularity across the web are known for utilizing images and colors to help make complex data from scientific reports, demographics, and studies to make them more easily understood by the casual reader.

Infographics compress and compile numbers and meanings into aesthetically pleasing arrangements that illustrate rather than tell. They can also functionally layout arguments for debates, complex concepts or any other topic that could otherwise be considered difficult to understand.

These new graphics explain hardships that can effect consumers when it comes to medical coverage. HealthCompare is nationally recognized for caring about patient knowledge and choice. They want consumers to understand as much as possible when it comes to making decisions regarding coverage that suits their needs.

The infographics released in this series are:
