Joomla ~ The Best Content Management System

My personal favorite Joomla is an Open Source Content Management System. I have used Joomla at many of my website projects and Joomla has always adapted in a very pretty manner to all my themes. I have always managed to attain 100 percent results with Joomla 1.5. It has mostly been observed that content management systems are quiet expensive and complex to use. However on the other hand Joomla is not much complex and is free to use as long as you know how to use it properly. Joomla extensions have effect no lesser than a dynamite if used properly.

If you are familiar with an earlier content management system Mambo, then learning Joomla would not be difficult for you. As Joomla is a refined and more secure version of Mambo. The Joomla interface is very well organized with menus, categories, sections and items. A menu links to category and the categories are further linked to sections. There definitely is much more into the Joomla scene tan these items. However they are good to begin you Joomla experience. You automatically will start experiencing more components as you get familiar with the former ones first.

The best thing about Joomla is that is offers a wide assortment of extensions, templates and themes over the internet that are absolutely free to use. Of course there also are components that are commercial however if you search a little you may find a similar component for free. If you are PHP expert you can modify these components to an extent to get the results you desire. Nothing is as flexible as Joomla 1.5 for a developer. The original Joomla website Joomla.org also allows you to test run your website before making it live to the audience out there, This way you can check for bugs and errors before making the website available to the readers.

Joomla works with just two main technologies. PHP is used for coding and MySQl gives it the database support. This is just all about the so very versatile Joomla! However it definitely is not the end. You will learn and explore more and more once you start working with Joomla.
