Joomla looked like the perfect contact management system for me.
Back in 2006, I created a bonzer site for a Realtor based on Mamboserver. Its backend interface was weird beyond belief, but I was impressed with what I was able to accomplish, creating a simple property search as well as a more sophisticated one that was accessible to site members.
Recently losing a nice paying gig caused me to investigate building a general-interest site with either Mambo and Joomla. I decided to go with Joomla this go-around.
I was able to get a site up and running in short order. But after that, things began inexplicably breaking every time I would attempt to add features.
Worse yet, stuff that worked fine broke on its own in the course of a few days.
I still believe that Joomla is a wonderful product. I just feel like it's not friendly for old-time hands-on php developers like myself.
So, I'll soon be deleting the content that I have at zuptoday.com and putting the domain itself on ice until i can come up with another idea for it.
