The key is in finding or creating a good site template that will carry the visual impact of your site's content and the right extensions that will allow you to achieve the functionality you want.
For the most part, we can do this by combining existing free and commercial extensions as you saw from the examples above. We can also develop custom extensions if nothing already out there fits.
So whether it's a gaming, school, church, sports club, bar, support or any other type of site, we can give you an idea of how we would approach your request. Simply contact us with your question and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
With our base packages we only covered the most popular types of sites on the internet.
This doesn't mean that those are the only kinds of sites we can create for you.
As mentioned in our CMS article, Joomla! - the CMS we base our packages on - has a great number of extensions that expand the core functionality and allow us to create a variety of sites for you.
We will give you an overview of additional site types here which will help you with using our wizard on our custom package page.

Portal Site
A portal site is usually a gateway to a variety of other sites allowing visitors to find resources on various topics. For example you could have a portal site for your city or town where visitors could easily find links to information about various aspects of the town like restaurant, accommodation, entertainment, government and tourist info.
A wedding portal, as another example, could provide your visitors with a wedding service provider directory and discussion forums, tips and so on.
Another type of portal site could be a review site. You can review movies, DVD's, CD's, books, various gear and gadgets and so on.
There is no specific extension for a portal site since requirements would vary widely.
A portal site can be assembled by combining a number of good extensions with the standard system and tailor their functionality to suit your particular needs.
If you would like to build a portal site, please contact us and we will discuss your idea and suggest possible solutions.
