    I never thought you could make such sites with joomla; purely amazing.

  2. jamirdesign says:

    I try Joomla before but its very complicated for a designer like me :(

    I ended up using WordPress in my site and blog.

    And voted for your great post in my community: http://www.jamirdesign.com/community/story/65

    Cheers!

    Every CMS has it’s place, WordPress as a Blog, Magento as E-Commerce. The nice thing about Joomla is that it seems to fit into each and every place!!

    We work mainly with Joomla, developing from-scratch websites and custom components as needed. There is just so much you can do with it, endless possibilities. So glad to see others realizing and using the full potential!

    Complicated?

    In WordPress you need to know PHP, in Joomla you need to know CSS/XHTML :P
    Joomla Templating doesn’t require PHP hacks/tweaks.

    Excelent collection!
    Thanks for sharing.

    • j000 says:

      So joomla is more flexible you think?

      • MAD says:

        I have worked with both Joomla and WordPress; and so far WordPress seem to be easier to implement. Although I did a couple of Joomla sites; still need to learn more about this great tool. These inspirational sites have shown me that with imagination; everything is possible!

        I agree with Pam that each tool has its uses. I though in the e-commerce arena only oscommerce or zen-cart are the best choices; strange to hear a new joiner “Magento”; I need to explore that :)

      • MarcoBarbosa says:

        I’m not sure if “flexible” is the word.

        But in WordPress you need to add php loops and echos
        In Joomla you need a template tag where you want to display what you want.

        It’s hard to find a easier templating system than Joomla, really.
        ModX has something similar, just include the tags in the template and you’re good to go.

    Scanned the list and the only big name that jumped out at me was Porsche. On a somewhat related note, compare that to Drupal, http://socialcmsbuzz.com/45-drupal-sites-which-you-may-not-have-known-were-drupal-based-24092008/

  6. iLLeT says:

    I don’t think foehn is Joomla. I see ASP and Jquery menu.

    • j000 says:

      It was listed as Joomla but my question can’t ASP and jQuery be integrated into Joomla? Perhaps this developer did it we’ll need to hear from the source if this Joomla or not. Until it’s proven otherwise, it stays as Joomla :P

    Hi Friends!

    I am really happy to see my site here in that collection! (24. naranchdesign)

    For some people who are starting:
    If you have the good basis of HTML, CSS and a little PHP it won’t be a hard job to learn how to create a template that you can imagine in JOOMLA!
    Sometimes it recommends a little “Googling” around the web but after some months you will be perfect!

    If you need some help you can also write to me!
    info@naranchdesign.hu :) “updated”

  18. Rob Jolliffe - crispystock.co.uk says:

    Hey that’s my site… Thank you!

  19. Mattit says:

    This collection is GREAT! Like others, I’ve bookmarked it for references and inspiration. My site is still on the old Joomla, but I’m redoing it in CSS & 1.5+. It’s amazing what flexibility CSS allows you to do. Until this week (really getting into CSS) I could not imagine living without tables. :)

    Anyone use OpenLaszlo to help create their site?

  20. brian says:

    Thas pretty intesting. I have been using wordpress as a new designer, but think I may have to explore joomla thanks
