We are considering using Joomla in a highly customized manner to serve the growing needs of ecoinvestmentclub dot com (now using Firenze from Rocket Theme).

We need to add social networking, and give the site a totally custom look to appeal to our investors. (More of a news format)

Some on our team are saying "go Custom", while others feel that Joomla is a strong base to build a site useful to the largest of companies.

Do any of you know URLS that you will post to larger companies that are using a customized version of Joomla?

Do you know of Joomla sites that have successfully integrated social networking components that you can share.

We need to make a decision and I like Joomla, but want to be sure it is the best choice. I think we would likely have to pay about $50K US to get what we are looking for in a custom written non-Joomla site.

Your comments will be greatly appreciated and if I can answer a question for you in return, please ask.

Thanks,

Bob
