If you remember last week I started talking about a new site that I have started work on. I have done some more research and realize that this may not be a very easy niche to make money in, however it will be a great niche for me to expand my knowledge in my career. Research done for content on the site will be used directly in my every day work.
Now for the site itself I have decided to use Joomla. I have used Drupal before but after some research I think that Joomla will be the better fit for the site as a whole. I needed something robust that I can start small with and then scale up as teh site got both popular and more content. I am also going to have a forum that will be on a seprate sub-domain. I want to seperate it as much as possible for administration and management reasons. For the forum I am going to start with phpbb, however when the site starts to make some revenue I will be purchasing Vbulletin right away. There is no better software, in my opinion, for running a large forum than VB right “out of the box”.
For the forum I am going to do very little modding to the default style, however for the main site I am going to try to make it unique and useable as possible. For that I am having issues trying to figure out how it works with Joomla. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of styles out there for free download, or even pay for that matter.
So if you know of any good sites that may have a Joomla theme for DL or a designer that is willing to put one together for me let me know either by email or comment.
