Integrating with other extensions and using quality templates is just one piece of the puzzle for a great site. Finding great services and tools that you trust is also important to maintain a stable website. Here is a list of services and products that will help.

Sendy is a self-hosted newsletter solution that lets you send email 100x cheaper than cloud solutions like MailChimp or Constant Contact. Sendy has a 1-time price of $59 for the software and then you use Amazon's Simple Email Service (SES) to send each email for $1 / 10,000 emails. We moved to using Sendy for our newsletters, and instead of paying almost $200 per month, as we previously were, we now spend under $10. SourceCoast provides a free Sendy integration extension for Joomla. |
