What is Joomla!

Joomla! is a powerful open-source content management system (CMS) that allows users to easily create and manage websites. Joomla! has been one of the most popular CMS platforms for years and is used by millions of websites around the world.

Joomla! is, at its core, a CMS that makes managing web content a breeze with its great features. Among other things, the system offers a WYSIWYG editor for easy content creation without code knowledge.

Joomla! is a modular CMS, which means that you can comfortably customize it to your specific needs. Over 8000 extensions are available to extend websites and increase functionality.

Joomla! is flexibly designed to be able to map both small and large websites. Whether a simple blog site of a club or a complex e-commerce site of a company, Joomla! is scalable and can grow with your business and your needs.

Advantages and highlights of Joomla!

  • Create, manage and publish websites, blogs, intranets and mobile applications

  • Modularity and multilingualism

  • Designed for websites of small, medium and large companies or corporations, for associations and public organizations

  • Integrated help system

  • Media management

  • Contact management

  • Tagging - keywording

  • Contribution versioning

Joomla! allows you to manage multiple websites from a single installation, saving time and resources. Each website can be customized, while you can manage them all from a single place. Joomla! also provides regular updates and patches.

Since the design in Joomla! is strictly separated from the database containing the content, you can easily put new layouts online without losing the content. Joomla! supports LESS CSS and jQuery and is ready for mobile. Using templates you have perfect control over the layout and can assign templates to a complete page or just to a specific menu item.

The system includes an extensive user rights management (ACL). You can easily control who can see, insert and manage what content.

For example, an API allows access to cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage or Rackspace.
