Also Great For Creating a Custom Home Page for Your Joomla Site

I was new to Joomla when I started to work on my new project, but I customzed WordPress and Drupal for other projects before. Everyone knows that building a custom home page is important because whatever CMSs have by default sucks.

The contributed solutions I have found cost more money than I wanted to spend, and didn't do what I wanted. I wanted to have complete freedom.

I used MoeDesigns' Random/Daily Article Module and a module called Modules Anywhere (this one is free) to construct the home page. If you look in the main body of the page, 'Headline', 'Featured', and the latest articles from the categories towards the bottom of the page are instances of the Random Article Module. I use the Headline and Featured areas to showcase articles that I hand pick. The module helped me to give the site a content driven/ news site feel with a little knowledge of HTML and CSS.
