All custom components have taken advantage of Joomla's features such as SEF URL rewriting to provide better navigation.
The template overrides many of the views of the components, an additional code line of code was injected into index.php to allow the site to run with a different database for different international domains. Template overrides allow the different sites to look different whilst still running on exactly the same underlying code.
Sitemaps are produced by examining the Joomla menu structures.
The banners use a custom system that determines which banners should be displayed based on page content.
The news system was based on com_content and extended to provide thumbnail images and extra views.
No core Joomla code other than the single line mentioned above was changed to produce this site.
Since moving the site onto Joomla as a platform it has been much easier to manage and has allowed the site to expand and grow significantly from it's beginnings. Joomla has enabled the rapid development of new features and extremely easy management of data by those responsible for the sites content.
