Joomla! Powered Site Showcase

Hi Paulo

Well, my sites are certainly not the best example of how Joomla! may be used.  I found out rather quickly and to my ego's detriment, that others are far more skilled at using Joomla! for website development.

So we have started a Joomla! Directory which features all South African Joomla! powered websites. Check it out here: ...[ http://joomla.org.za/content/blogsection/9/152/]

There is also an interesting Joomla! Site Showcase available on the official Joomla! forum. Check it out here: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?board=58.0

However, seeing that you probably do not want to be dealing with a total ignoramus, you may view some of our sites on Slingshot's Service Portfolio, which includes some of my sites, some of my wife's (Yes, she also uses Joomla! with great success in her Travel and Tourism business, Zig Zag Tours and Accommodation, which relies solely on Joomla! powered sites to generate her income, and currently employs three staff members).  Some of these sites were managed the design of some of the sites using sub-contracted designers, all of whom are locally based. Check out our Joomla! Portfolio here.. [ http://sling-shot.co.za/content/view/12/38/]

All the best with your Joomla! installation. I found an animated tutorial after emailing you, which offers a screen by screen tutorial with audio narration, which would be the best for your requirements. Check the Joomla! Installation tutorial here: http://www.joomlatutorials.com/joomla_tutorials/joomla_beginner/install_joomla/details.html

Cheers, Sean

PS: I have copied this email to our Joomla! User Group & Blog in the interests of helping others who would like to use Joomla!  Please let me know if that does not agree with you, in which case I will remove your details from the blog.
