The World's Leading Single Serve Coffee Guide
Aromacup.com was launched in October 2006 to share our love and passion about Single Serve Coffee. Two years later we realized that we needed a platform which would allow us and our members and experts to submit exclusive reviews, comments and pictures about Coffee products. In addition to reviews we were also looking for a component that would allow us to better organize Joomla articles.
JReviews was a perfect solution at that time for us because it was able to do exactly what we were looking for (organize reviews, articles with multiple layouts). After I started working with JReviews I knew right away we made the right choice. We used Joomla already so it was very easy for us to start with JReviews. Since it was totally new for us we needed to learn a lot of things. So we used the Support Portal and Forum all the time and the response time and support quality was unbelievable. Since Aromacup.com was no longer a “Hobby” website, it was critical for us to have quick support in case something happened. Besides great support we really like the Documentation section where you can find everything you need to know about JReviews. Also integration with other components was very important for us.
We use JReviews for everything. Beside Reviews and Comments we use JReviews to create a unique layout for every section. This allows us to optimize every landing page with minimum effort. For example “Coffee Coupons Section” and “Coffee Guides Section” have totally different layout, related articles, links, etc. With Custom Fields and Themes you can create basically anything.
First of all there’s nothing like JReviews around. I think JReviews is a Gold Standard in this category. It’s doesn’t matter if you are want to use JReviews for a business or yourself. You will receive the best support and the best component which will allow you to create successful website in any category.

An editorial staff and user driven review site for movies, blu-ray, digital media, video games and other technology.
We were looking for something that had a very intricate backend that allowed for a relational database. We got something that helped us build very detailed databases and that allowed us (through little effort) to make our site more searchable and accessible to the outside world while allowing users to add their own opinions. We could not have been happier with JReviews.
JReviews is, well, for reviews! Since we mainly do reviews it seemed like a natural fit. We had certain requirements - configurable field types, cross searching, weighted scoring tight integration with the CMS(Joomla). Again, we got more than we anticipated originally! In addition, having the ability to use the built in thickbox for images without an additional plug ins is a great plus and the templates are well commented and easy to adjust.
We use it for everything. We currently have over 700+ reviews and it compliments those needs. Our Frontpage uses JReviews modules in three module positions to highlight the newest reviews from the primary categories we review on - Games, DVDS and Anime. It also is used to generate our section pages and is used within the content using a JReviews template that has been modified to allow for tabbed reviews with related items using sliding drop downs. This and various other little bits help make our site look and feel professional. It created a very solid backbone that established an organized system that works and integrates related articles together using the fields configured within JReviews. In addition, our authors don't even need to really think about what's been set up in the backend. From the front end the submission process is seamless.
First and foremost, the support from Alejandro has been unrivaled. He dedicates himself to clarifying any issues and correcting them. Service goes a long way and it shows. Now, to the beef. It fits our mold for our review site perfectly. It allows us to do so many things that we didn't feel Joomla could provide. It allows us to do a lot of relationships between fields. JReviews submission interface works well within Joomla's interface and allows for our authors to work on what they need to do, submit reviews.

Reviewspot.nl is a platform for Dutch consumers where they can review, compare and discuss their online shopping experiences.
The goal of Reviewspot.nl was to build an online platform where consumers could rate and discuss their experiences with webshops. Visitors should be able to write a review about a webshop, rate that webshop on different criteria and easily compare the scores of different webshops. Furthermore we needed a reliable content management system and a template system that was well documented and could be easily adapted to our specific needs in the area of design and search engine optimization.
Some research and comparison between different review extensions for Joomla and Wordpress showed us that JReviews was probably the most complete and flexible extension on the market. We were also looking for a review extension that came with an active community of developers and users supporting it. We chose JReviews since it has a history of improvement on a steady base and has all functions (and many more) that we wanted to implement in our website. And also important: JReviews looks good out of the box.
JReviews gives our users the opportunity to rate and review Dutch webshops, which is the core functionality of the platform Reviewspot.nl. We also use different JReviews modules to list top rated and most visited listings. Webshop owners can easily add their own webshop with the JReviews “add listing” form which is extremely flexible and beautifully styled. With the help of JReviews we were able to build a large directory of webshops with reviews in a short time.
First of all, the review system is excellent and the functionality and support is great. But for us was equally important to have a stable and fast website that would do well in search engines. The flexibility of the template system behind JReviews made it very easy to adapt the different pages and modules to our needs in the area of search engine optimization and design. This has led to very good results in search engines and thus a lot of visitors and reviews by visitors. Allthough Reviewspot.nl is only one year old we rank for very competitive keywords and the number of visitors (and users) is growing fast. The key advantage of JReviews for us is the flexibility of the extension and all the enormous possibilities to expand our website in the future.

TiemMyScarf.com is a boutique e-commerce site that specializes in scarves.
The site had a very simple set of requirements: videos about how to tie a scarf; an ecommerce boutique (for which we used Virtuemart); and a blog.
We wanted to create a video library of ways to tie a scarf, but we were unhappy with other solutions: the extensions that are specifically built for handling videos did not provide other features like allowing us to create very customized module views, add additional custom field information, etc. Also, they didn't leverage Joomla's core content section/category structure. We chose JReviews because it gave us all the flexibility we needed, plus the ability to create very custom layouts for both modules and core component views. By creating a field to reference a YouTube video, we got the best of all worlds: working within Joomla's familiar content structure, but with more control over layout and extra fields.
JReviews is basically being used as a "vlog", a video blog. We will eventually also use it for reviews in the ecommerce area but using Everywhere with the Virtuemart integration.
JReviews extends Joomla to make it a truly robust system. We really appreciate that JReviews builds on Joomla's native section/category/articles rather than creating a secondary content repository; by doing so, we’re able to use the same content with other 3rd-party extensions. The templating system makes it possible to create any type of view or module, taking Joomla from a simple and basic CMS to one that is absolutely configurable and customizable.
