The redesigned web sites of A1L Holdings and A1L Realizations were recently launched.

" A1L Realizations strives to seek out, develop, promote and assist innovative people and businesses wanting to further explore their creative ideas. "

"A1L Consulting is a Management Consultancy operating in the private traditional and non-traditional telco and finance sectors predominantly."

The design and logos for the sites were by Idea Catalyst, and the web site development on the Joomla! CMS were by New Web Consulting.

Today we celebrate the 5th Birthday of Joomla!®

New Web Consulting makes use of the Joomla! CMS as it's software of choice for building our own, and our clients' web sites.

With 5,500+ available extensions, there's  virtually no type of web site one cannot design for, and build with Joomla!

The success of Joomla is the result of active worldwide community participation.

I have the privilege of currently serving on the board of Open Source Matters, Inc.

" Open Source Matters, Inc. (OSM) is a not-for-profit formed under United States and New York state law that provides organizational, legal, and financial support for the Joomla! open-source project. "

Joomla! says Thank You to the community who helped to build it
