If you are you considering the Joomla CMS as a development platform for your new web site or for a redesign of your current site, here are some of the benefits of a Joomla site to consider. - Content management for everyone. You can update and maintain your site easily via a web browser interface. No need to be a technical guru. Very little to no technical knowledge is needed to administer a site once it is setup and running. For large scale sites, you can authorize different people in your organization to administer different parts of the site. Let's say your site is an online magazine. You can have writers who are allowed to submit content to certain areas of the site only unpublished, and then have editors with more site authority who review that content before actually publishing the content to your site.
- Change the template, change the look. Because the structure of a Joomla site separates the site content, which is kept in a database, from the look of the site, which is defined by the site template, it is relatively easy to change the look of the entire site. By customizing a new template for your site, you can instantly change the look and layout across all your site pages instantly, without updating each separate page, even if your site has hundreds of pages. For more information, please visit How Joomla Works.
- Large community of developers. Joomla is an open-source platform, which means it is free to use and programmers around the globe can develop for it. There are over 4,000 extensions (add-ons to the platform, such as shopping carts) available for Joomla so far, many of which are free or low-cost, and more are being added every day. That means you can add rich capabilities to your site without breaking the bank.
- Focus on the content, not the development. As the saying goes, Content is King. To attract and keep customers and visitors to your web site, you need great content and you need to keep up it up to date. Joomla allows you to quickly produce a professional, quality site in less time and focus your energy and site development dollars on the real heart of your site – your content.
