I used Joomla and CB to put together a site for painters. It was a lot of fun to build, but a bit more work than I'd hoped. It was easy to get the first 90% done, but the last 10%....
I wish that the CB subscriptions module was done a bit sooner. I would have liked to try it for my site. I went with AEC, which works great too.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for how to improve the usability from the consumer side.
Thanks!
