Joomla!
If you’re starting your own website or looking to improve a preexisting site, Joomla can help you out. Joomla is the most popular Content Management System available today. Part of its award winning success is due to its easy to use set up and FREE availability to anyone who wishes to take advantage of it. If you want to make life easier on yourself, the use of a content management system (CMS) is a must. The CMS software manages the content on your website—text, photos, music, videos, documents, etc.—so that you don’t have to. Examples of sites using the Joomla software range from MTV’s Quizilla, IHOP, and The Green Maven, to Harvard University, PlayShakespear.com, and Outdoor Photographer.
If you decide to use Joomla as a content management system, you get a wide assortment of features along with it. The user management feature allows users to configure personal options. The Media manager makes it easy to manage media files or folders by simply grabbing images and files and dragging them over. The Language manager makes it possible to translate text and codes of many world languages and gives you full control over what language you want where. The Banner Management feature allows you to set up banners that you create then set impression numbers, special URLs, and client profiles. You can also create polls to learn more about your users, insert search features to help users navigate, manage links with web link management, add templates and menu items, syndicate site content, and much much more.
Joomla offers an Online Demo that allows you to test the software and see how easy it is to create and manage content. If you have a question about any aspect of Joomla, there is a wiki page with info, advice, and links for first time users. If you like what you see in the demo, you can download the full software with one simple mouse click.
