Commercial Joomla Components Worth Buying

In web design you can't grow your own potatoes all the time, so you need to use out-of-the-box components if you want to build large sites quickly. As it often happens with software, commercial components are not necessarily better than those you can get for free. Commercial components tend to have more bells and whistles but they also have more bugs and often have more conflicts with other software. But there are some excellent commercial Joomla components.

Here is a list of Joomla components we think are worth paying for:

1. JomSocial
2. Job Board by Joomlart
3. JoomSport
4. AcyMailing
5. Docman
6. Gtranslate Pro
7. Breezing Forms
8. Akeeba Backup
9. Akeeba Security
10. OSE Security
11. OSE Membership
12. Flexicontent

I can probably add 3-4 more Joomla components to this list, but the ones above cover 80% of all websites you would be building as a web designer on a daily basis, at least this has been my experience so far at our Ottawa web design firm Joomla Bliss.
