| Open Question: Major Companies Using Joomla |
|
| Monday, 02 June 2008 | |
|
I've decided to set the bar high by looking for sites that do over half-a-million uniques per month or belong to a truly substantial company. A good rule of thumb is "do they have a Wikipedia entry?" Here's what I've found so far:
Feel free to post more sites in the comments and I'll add to this list whenever we find a new one. Comments (35)

Oops....I guess I should have read the entire list before posting.
  written by Steve Burge, June 02, 2008 S'OK. I think that is probably the least-Joomla site on the list because of its heavy modifications. You're right ... its also getting a huge, huge amount of traffic. Some of the blog posts get several thousand comments each!  written by Kyle Ledbetter, June 02, 2008
We built out a Joomla site for KickApps, a white label Social Networking site: www.kickapps.com (they're a fairly major company compared to us at least
 ) written by Steve Burge, June 02, 2008
Hi Kyle ... very cool. We covered their integration with Joomla. I didn't realise their main site is also built in J!

Hi Steve,
You can look at http://www.aidez-pasteur.com/. THis is the fundraising site for Institut Pasteur, leading pharmaceutical group Rgs written by Steve Burge, June 04, 2008
Hi Yannick
Thanks a lot. Thats a great Joomla site. My wife has a friend who works for them in Paris and we visited at Christmas.  written by Good Web Practices, June 04, 2008
The site I was most surprised to find on that list is Danone. It's great they are using Joomla!
To be honest though, I find it somewhat disappointing that not more large websites are using Joomla... Although after using Drupal it's understandable. I think we would be able to find more large companies that use Drupal as opposed to Joomla. written by julien, June 10, 2008
that's a great post.
Wouldn't it be related to a certain explosive thread of the joomla forum where someone was actually questioning the fact that joomla is not good enough for large company and was advertising drupal? Either way, we should invite him to read this post. You have some serious company in this list. Like you said about Danone: (A lot more than just yogurts); you are perfectly right. Danone is "ginormous" thanks again for this great site cheers written by Good Web Practices, June 11, 2008
Schneider Electric are using Joomla with Virtuemart:

My firm has 3 really high traffic Joomla sites:
www.publictheater.org > major ...ny in NYC www.joespub.com > major performing arts venue in NYC www.simplesteps.org > eco-mag for Natural Resources Defense Council written by Yannick Gaultier, June 24, 2008
Hi Amanda,
Just out of curiosity, what is it you call high traffic ? can you give us a rough idea of nb of unique visitors per day on each site for instance ? Rgds written by Ano Hito, June 25, 2008
I really did not consider it as famous people, I guess I should have rephrased it as Vandergriff Motorsports as its the Official site for Vandergriff Motorsports and not just Bob Vandergriff.

hi guys
interesting thread ... its something ive been always wondering about and been too lazy to find out. however, # Danone (A lot more than just yogurts) .. did seem to me a lot different than yogurts, and # Jetstar (Airline owned by Quantas) has URLs tha strongly indicate that it aint joomla at all (anymore?)... Didnt go through the whole list yet. Ill add URLs to the list when (if) I find them Cheers dee written by Steve Burge, June 30, 2008
Thanks to all who have contributed so far.
Just a quick note if your comment isn't being published .... we really are looking for MAJOR companies here. Your personal Joomla site probably doesn't count. written by Steve Burge, July 02, 2008
Added Toshiba to this list and also created a new open question about famous people using Joomla:
