Joomla is a Content Management System which allows for flexible site management of complex websites. The technician does the technical things, and you or your staff do the periodic updates.
Joomla has won the Packt Publishing Best Open Source Content Management System two years in a row. It is well supported by an active developer community (so security issues are promptly repaired), and by a huge user community (so problems are quickly reported to the developers). This combination means that Joomla is one of the more stable systems to use. It is designed to be user friendly – so while BUILDING a site in Joomla isn't necessarily easy, maintaining one is! Making updates is just a little harder than sending emails with attachments, and it can usually be learned in 1 or 2 training sessions of about an hour each. Joomla has built in membership management, so you can control public or private access. It is good for businesses with more than one person doing updates on the website. It has a modular structure – which means that if you want it to do more, chances are you can find an extension that just plugs into Joomla, giving you the additional function that you need. You can add forums, newsletter management, a business directory, a gallery, a basic shopping cart, or much more. Joomla is our number one recommendation for site owners who need a little something more than just a basic site. We are experienced at adapting it to a range of business needs, and would love to discuss your plans with you. We won't pressure sell, and we'd be glad to brainstorm ways to bring big dreams and complex functions down into the realm of the achievable!
