Joomla CMS systems track all the content on your web site including text, photos, music, video and any documents. What Joomla can do is pretty exceptional, but that does not mean it is hard to understand or hard to use. In fact, just the opposite is true. It is designed to be very user friendly and intuitive so you will pick it up easily and be working on your site in no time at all. And since Joomla handles all of your content, you do not have to.
Joomla CMS is currently being used for corporate web sites, intranet and extranet applications, online magazines, newspapers and other publications, e-commerce, online reservations, government applications, small business websites, non-profit websites, community portals and school web sites.
The Joomla Platform
Joomla is easy to install and easy to set up as well. It does not require you to be a web master or even an experienced or advanced user to work with it. Many sites that offer downloads have it available as a single click installation so you can begin working on your site right away. You can also use Joomla to build sites for customers. Since it is so easy and fast it is the best choice for you to efficiently build their sites and since it is easy to use you can teach them to maintain the sites themselves.
Joomla Extensions
If the basic version of Joomla does not have all the features that you or your clients are looking for, then all you need to do is add the appropriate extensions and there are thousands of extensions available for Joomla and most of them are free to use. Some of the add ons, modules, and plug-ins can be used to create the following: inventory control systems, application bridges, communication tools, complex business directories, data reporting tools, reservation systems, integrated e-commerce systems, and custom product catalogs.
Joomla has been around since 2000 and has been constantly growing in popularity over the years. Many Joomla themes are currently available. There are now over 200,000 active users and contributors to this open source program. Every time a new person gets involved, the program just gets that much better. And because so many people use and are involved with Joomla, it is sure to be around for a long while.
