			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.joomla.org" target="_blank">Joomla</a> is an open-source Content Management System that has a wide range of uses. It has a huge community of developers that build components that extend its use, and the best part about them is that most are free. I frequently use Joomla to build websites including <a href="http://www.southwestconstructionconsultants.com" target="_blank">SouthwestConstructionConsultants.com</a>, <a href="http://www.napavalleysearch.com" target="_blank">NapaValleySearch.com</a> and <a href="http://www.sunrags.com">SunRags.com</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-19"></span></p>
<p>On the Southwest Construction Consultant site, a major portion of the functionality is the reservation system. The site needed to be able to have users reserve time slots for home inspections.  I was able to find a component called <a href="http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/attend_events" target="_blank">Attend Events</a> that handled this &#8220;out of the box&#8221;,  open-source so I could customize any details necessary, and available for free. There is also a component for Joomla called <a href="http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/jevents/" target="_blank">JEvents</a> that can be used with Attend Events that will show a calendar of all events. In the case of the Southwest Construction website, this was unnecessary, but can be useful for other sites with event organization needs.</p>
<p>Please do not use the Southwest Construction Consultant site for any test purposes, as it is a live site. There are demo pages and support available to you in the <a href="http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/attend_events/forum/" target="_blank">Attend Events forum</a>.</p>
