I like what you are doing here!

How did you come to decide to use Joomla instead of Word Press?

Good Luck!

Hello
Hi HAL,

Thanks for your comments. Glad to hear that you liked the work we are doing. As for using Joomla instead of WordPress, We have been a big fan of Joomla from start(not that we don't like WordPress). For extending the features of site Joomla seems to be more suitable. For example adding E-commerce, 3PV applications etc. Looks like you are a fan of WordPress :-)

Regards,
Shishir
