CiviCRM is an outstanding CRM system for use with Joomla-powered Websites. The CiviMail feature is a powerful, robust way of sending emails for contacts within CiviCRM. CorFun has been very pleased with our projects that used CiviCRM for contact management, donation management, and eNewsletter management.  Despite being very pleased overall, CorFun noticed a huge drop off in newsletter registrations on every site on which we replaced a solution such as JNews with the CiviMail function within CiviCRM. Having a button to click to sign up for the newsletter, a link on a menu, and invitations in articles simply do not take the place of a prominently displayed eNewsletter sign up module. So CorFun coded one called CiviNews and made it available for both Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.7

Virtuemart is a fantastic shopping cart system for Joomla, the leading Content Management System in the world. While Virtuemart has many great features, one thing that it has lacked is the ability to automatically generate a notification file of new orders that can be used for fulfillment. This is one of the features that CorFun's VM Orderlist component adds.
