hinausautot.fi Web Site Project

Hinausautot-K.-Sulinko
Hinausautot.fi is a web site project I put together pretty quickly. Main effort went into planning the site structure and the template. Setup was otherwise pretty straightforward, as the site is running Joomla Open Source CMS.

Ylonen.fi Web Site Project
Written by Petri   

Ylonen website header
Ylonen.fi is the official homepage of the Ylönen Family Society. I have made basically a couple of design rounds on the site, and currently it is based on Joomla open source CMS system. Earlier version had somewhat more complicated design and more features, but that was simplified to make it correspond the content available.
