I click therefore I code
Joomla! is an award winning open source Content Management System (CMS) created by the same team that brought the Mambo CMS to its current state of stardom. It is used all over the world for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications. Joomla! is easy to install, simple to manage, and reliable. It is, in the continuity of Mambo, a convivial, powerful and ergonomic CMS. It is dissociated from Nukes, Xoops, eXoops, Zope… by its modularity and of Typo3 by its ease of use and administration: “I click, therefore I code”.
Even without being initiated with CMS, it is easier to understand how to include and compose menus and sub-menus, how to add components and modules and how to publish news. What sets Joomla! apart from the rest is the dedication of its development team to keeping things as simple as possible, while providing the most features possible. Finally, non-technical people can have complete control over their websites without paying exhorbitant amounts for closed, proprietary software.
The developers of Joomla! support that many people appreciate its capacity to authorize the user to publish content “without having to be a scientist specialized in rockets”. “The fact that it removes barriers for people who would never have regarded themselves as being able to publish quickly and easily on the Web, is the most attractive device for those who use Joomla!”
The development team concentrates to offer a simple, functional and entirely free engine, but it is possible to enrich Joomla! with many components, modules and hacks of other developers.
Joomla! is more than just software, it is people. The community behind Joomla! includes developers, designers, systems administrators, translators, content writers, and most importantly the end users.
