Today anyone can build a website of some sort. Building a high quality, search engine and user friendly, usable website that is easily maintainable from anywhere in the world would seem to be a different story.
If you're interested in your own easy to maintain site you should be looking into the content management system (CMS) options. You can choose from a wide variety of CMS systems. If you want to you can spend over $1000 pretty easily, but there are also many free options available.
Most CMS systems suffer from the same problem, usability. This prevents you from getting the most out of your site.
Joomla! doesn't have those problems
Joomla! offers near limitless flexibility and expansion, giving it a significant edge over most systems. Joomla was introduced in 2005 after the developers split from the Mambo project. It is offered as free open source software meaning there are no fees involved with using it at all. Everyone from grandmas running picture sites of their grandkids to huge Fortune 500 companies are taking advantage of it's power. This unique feature set have won it several awards in the last few years, including beating Firefox as best open source project.
Joomla makes it easy for anyone, including you, to manage your site with ease. No matter if you just want to add some articles or something more complex like accepting credit cards or managing reservations for a hotel.
What types of sites use Joomla!
Real-world examples of how Joomla! is used, include building/maintenance of websites or portals for corporate organisations, real estate agencies, e-commerce, hotels, travel & tourism outfits, schools, churches, magazines, newspapers, family websites etc.
What Makes Joomla! Different From Commercial CMS solutions?
Obviously for a commercial system you will need to pay some money, but Joomla! gives you these features all for free! Furthermore, unlike its priced counterparts, Joomla boasts a growing array of extensions - over 4,000 - designed to ENHANCE its capabilities, and a very active user community where people share ideas and solutions for using it.
Look At Joomla Even If You Already Have A Website!
No matter what kind of site you have right now, be it static or dynamic, you can highly benefit by using Joomla on your website. No longer will you need to depend on other people to update your site, and pay their outrageous fees. This means that Joomla not only saves you time, but it also saves you money!
In today's fast paced, information driven world, results-oriented business owners stand to benefit greatly by building cost-effective and highly maintainable Joomla! websites that they can have 100% control over - and NOT need to call the web designer back for.
Who Can Host Joomla?
The nice thing about Joomla is it will run on most servers. But just because it can doesn't mean you should. What you want to look for is a host that has experience with Joomla so that if you run in to any problems you can contact them for help. The other thing to keep in mind it most Joomla sites will never use more than a few hundred megabytes of storage. While you'll be tempted by hosts offering hundreds of gigabytes or even unlimited storage and bandwidth, you don't need it. These hosts also have to pack so many sites on each server to make money that you site will load so much more slowly than if you go with a Joomla hosting company that offers reasonable plans at a reasonable price.
