Our New Neighborhood
Our New Neighborhood is Arc Technology Group's showcase for a Joomla site utilizing Microsoft services and software. Arc Technology Group has created custom extensions and integrated existing software for a one of a kind demonstration. We're thrilled with the ease of use in creating extensions that utilize Live ID and Bing services (Maps, News and Video) and integrating them with Joomla. Take a look around and let us know what you think.
To download the extensions used, please visit JoomlaCode:
