I'm considering using Joomla to design my first site. I'm interested to see examples of sites designed using Joomla - To let me see what can be achieved with the right amount of work. Anyone?
Maybe I won't be very popular among joomla lovers, but I belive that joomla is not as easy to manage at the backend. I think it has many confusing settings, so if you are not very experienced I would suggest you to choose something else.
Reading that ive still chosen Joomla as i feel somethings just take a bit of time and once you get used to using something regular it becomes a bit easier. It takes practice to get the experience, worth the time investment i feel.
Check out my Joomla site (signature). I am very happy with Joomla. The CMS takes a little getting used to, but once you do it's great.
Looks like a custom template from the looks of it. Joomla is an extremely powerful CMS system once you know it's full potential [that most people don't] Honestly I don't mind that as it just brings more advantages to me ;P
