Historical Context

Jxi Forms was developed during the peak of Joomla 1.5/2.5 era and helped many website administrators streamline their form management processes. It complemented Ready Bytes' growing portfolio of Joomla extensions and demonstrated our expertise in building user-friendly, feature-rich components.

This product laid the groundwork for our understanding of form processing, data management, and user workflows that would later benefit products like PayPlans and PayCart.
