We are just in the process of creating a new CMS site for The Bear at Home Inn at North Moreton. The site is built using Joomla 1.5 featuring a warm and welcoming style adopted from the original HTML site. The new site is a wide screen format with two simple to navigate menus. The site aims to be as fun a place to be as the pub itself.
