Joomla extensions worth checking out

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Here we are again, talking about new extensions. Well, a lot of these extensions are very useful although some might be a notch too costly for some people. However, Joomla has its fair share of commercial and free extensions and all of them are worth to look at.

A simple hotel reviewing extension for Joomla websites would be HotelGuide. It is simple yet affordable (free in fact!). It is quite powerful and can go to great length. The reviews for HotelGuide have been great so far with a perfect 5 stars rating.

Annonces is a great extension for those wanting to have a bigger control over the advertisements on their website. However, this isn’t for those wanting to use Google Adsense or something like that but for those wanting to have their own advertising management for their websites.

Security is important for a high profile website and this is the same with Joomla as well. If the administrator wishes to allow a certain type of people to go to only certain places in the website, then FLEXIaccess might be a great extension to start with.

The plugins mentioned above are mostly new and all of these are powerful in their own ways as well.
