SanDiego.com Multi-Million Dollar Domain on Joomla
Written by Steve Burge

SanDiego.com LogoA great domain name is a beautiful thing and there's a Joomla site running on one of the best ... SanDiego.com.

What I particularly love about this is that the company ran the site for several years on Java. Late in 2006 they got an investment of over $1 million dollars to invest in the business ... and they choose to rebuild the site with Joomla.

Geo-domains are highly popular and often emerging as rivals to the local city newspapers. Here at Alledia, we've got a Joomla website in the planning that will run on the .com of another very famous American location. Look for that launch later this year.

Wow... for the capital they had I was expecting a nicer design job. The current one looks low-budgetish.

Great call on using Joomla though! :-)

Second what James said.

The spend on it should have justified some UX/UI initiatives to bring Joomla into a unique brand.

I know most government facing organisations have most of their departments chasing down the web team to get their particular piece onto the frontpage (I've been there, including the $1mil+ spend), but this is ridiculous.
