Joomla! Stands out among the hundreds of content managers, more
than 840 according to the site www.cmsmatrix.org :
It combines powerful features and ease of use.
It is a proven tool, which was adopted by a large community of developers and site managers
around the world.
The GUI is independent of content. Thus, it is easy to apply a new template and modify
the visual appearance of a site.
It has a clear modular interface. Each module can be positioned independently in the web page.
The administration interface is easy to learn and can manage the site in a comprehensive manner :
articles, menus, modules and their positions, and user access rights, templates…
Joomla! was in November 2006 the award winner of the best Open Source CMS 2006, by Packt Publishing, following a vote of
16,000 users in 70 CMS.
There are at present many Joomla! extensions, Over 1800 according to the official website www.joomla.org.
These extensions across many areas and are charged or free. Indeed, many companies would like
to contribute to this great Open Source collaborative project by offering free components and
templates that they have developed.
The development of Joomla! is regular : a new version every 2 months or so.
