Today it's been exactly one year since we launched one of our exquisite component of the Joomla Community: Auction Factory. Back then, the whole development, including testing, took us over a year. After releasing, we continued to improve constantly the product and maintaining it at the top level. Here we would like also to express our gratitude to all the users which provided us constructive feedback. Now, after exactly one year since the official release, the Auction Factory Component has become not only the Auction Solution when it comes to Joomla, but also a real alternative to other PHP Solutions available.

Today, as an anniversary and reason to celebrate we are launching another auction product, in order to complete our Auction Components Suite. The new Factory Extension is called: 

Reverse Auction Factory

The main difference in comparison to the Auction Factory is that with the Reverse version, end-users can post their requests in order to obtain the best price for needed services or desired products. This means that they can choose the lowest price or what they consider would be the best deal for them.

The component can be used to organize auction in different fields of interest. Here just a couple of examples:

  • Freelancing (developers, programmers, designers.)
  • Constructions (materials, architects, interior design, pools, etc.)
  • Technicians (utilities, locksmiths, plumbers, electricians, etc.)
  • many other branches.

Surely this new Joomla Extension will be also further developed in order provide one of the most efficient solutions outthere. Like the rest of our products, Reverse Auctions will be part of the Joomla Community discount programm providing not only one of the best web-solutions on the market, but also a cost-effective one.

Many thanks again for all the support and feedback we received for the past year and stay tuned for more news.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the AUCTION Factory SUITE! 

With the 1.4.5 version, the Auction Factory Component brings also support for Joomla 1.5.x Legacy Mode and confirms the leading position of Auction Extensions for the Joomla CMS. Since the Auction Factory Component is already the most popular auction extension for Joomla, it was absolutelly necessary to provide further compatibility with Joomla 1.5.x.

RSS Factory PRO - new demo site 

Since the launch of RSS Factory Pro the huge interest around this product and the curiosity that rised regarding the new additions to our free flagship product -Rss Factory- convinced us of the necessity of a demo site for this Extension.

 The brand New demo site based on Joomla 1.5.6 wants not only to be a presentation site for RSSFactory PRO, but is an example on how to implement this Component in order to increase the SEO.  

 Notice the structured feed selection around some major themes, themes that provide a great deal of keywords, and also through refreshing the website has always new content.

 Google loves RSS syndication, and there should be no SEO concious webmaster that ignores this fact.

 A well thought RSS integration brings keyword oriented traffic - the good traffic we all want.

 Take a look at our demo site, feel free to log in as admin too and have a look at the administative option. We also added two demo pages for our RSS2Image Factory Module. The Module has several configuration options - these two instances are just samples in order to get an idea on the functionality.

Since today the 8. August 2008 is the big opening day of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the Factory launched also an olympic product. With more then three years of experience gathered with RSS products like "RSSreader2" or "rss Factory (Free Edition)", RSS Factory PRO is the ultimate RSS feed tool for every webmaster out there.

As presented in our sneak preview they are allot of additional options like unlimited categories or SEF compatibility. Due to the demands we received and our experience the PRO version is very SEO orientated. The tree like structure presents tremendous advantages for search engines like Google, since the articles are always fresh and new in comparison to a simple directory which is only a linkfarm.

We hope that this PROfessional version will accomodate the wishes of any professional webmaster. A detailed description can be found on the product page. For any questions, issues or possbile next features please just visit our forum. Thank you and let the games begin!
