This month of February is celebrated by the nomination of the International House of Pancakes as the Joomla Site of the Month. International House of Pancakes or IHOP for short is a restaurant chain famous in the United States of America.
The IHOP site is build through the use of Joomla, a very popular and versatile content management system. The overall template of the site looks very friendly and mirrors the friendliness of the restaurant as well.
The company uses a lot of flash in its website which may be bad for SEO. But in the case of this website, it may not be much of a problem as the website serves only as an information hub for the restaurant itself. People visiting the website would most probably come from the visitors at their brick and mortar store.
In addition to that, the site has made good use of media content such as photograph, videos and many others. It doesn’t look dull because of a lot of writing and instead of having those, the site uses as little writing as possible but delivers its main point from photographs as well as videos.
Overall, the site proves how good Joomla can be. It also shows what is possible with the use of creativity.
