 The site I'm covering today is a fantastic example of what a skilled Joomla designer can do with a solid brief and some great components. The site I'm talking about is House Finder UK. I came across this site a few weeks ago and couldn't believe it was a joomla site. At first glance you would have thought it was a totally custom job, the type that is common in this market. But as you delve into the site you realise that joomla has handled the brief perfectly. Design wise it's just perfect - clean, simple and easy to navigate. Feature wise it's stunning, everything you could need from free property listings to information on property investments. The site is aiming to attract UK property renters and buyers looking for their next home, and also those selling their homes. It allows individuals and agents to list properties on the site for free, a relatively new avenue in the lucrative UK property market. With over 1000 properties currently listed either for sale or rent the site is definitely doing well. ComponentsAll property listings are handled by Mosets HotProperty. There seem to be some great modfications such as the great lightbox feature for property images, and the tabbed panes for the listing details. They also use Virtuemart to full effect for the little extras such as featured listings and sign boards. There is also a well designed and customized implementation of EasyFAQ. Finally the blog on the site is produced using myBlog. As you can see, all the components on this site have been totally css'd up to fit perfectly within the custom joomla template. It's this attention to detail that gives the site the custom feel that will ensure it stands out from the crowd in the market it operates. DesignersThe credit for the design and implementation of this site goes to non other than the great JoomlaJunkie. We've dealt with JJ on a number of Joomla sites and can definitely recommend them. If you want your site to stand apart from the rest you shouldn't look any further; their professionalism, design skills and joomla knowledge are top notch. House Finder UK is proof of that. Bookmark
