What is Joomla!?

Joomla! is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) that empowers users to effortlessly publish web content. Over the years, Joomla! has received a multitude of awards for its contributions to web development. The system is built on a framework that includes model, view, and controller components that can operate independently of the CMS itself, allowing for the creation of powerful online applications. As one of the top choices for website software, Joomla! is supported by a large community of developers and volunteers who are committed to improving its usability, extensibility, multilingual capabilities, accessibility, responsiveness, search engine optimization, and much more. A content management system is essentially a web-based application designed to allow various users with different permission levels to oversee and manage content, data, or information within a website or intranet. Content management involves a variety of tasks such as creating, editing, archiving, publishing, collaborating on, reporting, and distributing various types of website content. The collaborative spirit fostered by Joomla! cultivates a dynamic ecosystem where users can exchange their insights and enhancements, which in turn enriches the platform's overall functionality. This ongoing interaction among users not only strengthens the community but also drives continuous improvements to Joomla!'s features and capabilities.

    New Joomla 4 is a leap ahead

    Date: Aug 27 2021
    Summary

    Ive been watching the development of 4 and it's come a long way. It's taken its time to get to market but it's finally there and I am loving the ease of use over the old. It took a morning to get the hang of it after years of using 3 as well as WordPress and Drupal, but now 4 knocks the socks off the others for its usability and extensibility. Love the new workflows feature.

    Positive

    The new interface is a breeze to use. It now has a web services API, best in class for accessibility. Scores very high with lighthouse out of the box.
    Intuitive, fast and with the new workflows capability its a dream to use at any level.
    All the bits that that were missing for me have just been filled in with the release of 4.
    Media manager was improved.
    Security was always good but now has many extra features not seen with other CMS.

    Negative

    It wont make tea. For a free product thats used on 3% of the entire web theres little to fault it. The media manager was the problem but is much better in 4.

    It is the best program that can make my website a great experience

    Date: Apr 19 2021
    Summary

    We have used this program to make us aware of the idea of being able to solve programming problems for clients or to create websites with unique and strengthened templates. We have optimized our entire platform to improve the experience for our potential clients. I highly recommend this program to intensify the quality of the website optimization process. It has been very influential and reasonable to do a great job in programming.

    Positive

    I like the software to be of great use in entrenching leadership and building planned websites. The web traffic increased remarkably since the process has been done to expose a massive series of programming codes. The support of the program is highly excellent.

    Negative

    I don't particularly appreciate that the interface is a bit cumbersome to understand. However, the software has great guides.

    Creating creative websites with unparalleled ease

    Date: May 04 2021
    Summary

    Joomla is adequate for working on website development; we use it frequently, which has helped us save time and effort while getting the most creative websites. We have benefited from each tool and its default templates that have streamlined the building of websites remarkably. Using it, you don't need to be a web development expert to build the most creative websites; it provides everything you need and is quite intuitive.

    Positive

    We use Joomla to build our websites and web applications because of its incredible intuitiveness and tools to make everything more manageable. Its working environment is quite comfortable for my development team, and its web design resources significantly speed up our work when carrying out web development projects.

    Negative

    Its interface is a little complicated to understand; it is not as friendly as other tools and text editors to develop web pages.
