About Joomla CMS
What is Joomla?
Joomla is an award winning Open Source (FREE) Website Content Management System (CMS), that allows a user to administer a simple personal website or a major corporate Internet/Intranet site easily without any programming skills.
How flexible is Joomla?
Joomla is extremely flexible to use as any form of web based application, this is due to its design being able to simply add or remove new components and modules to your Joomla Website.
For example you initially start a simple personal Joomla Website for your hobbies, in this case we assume you are interested in in Remote Control Toys. You initially install your Joomla website to just write about it and share your ideas with family friends and online community.
You then decide to have add some videos to you website, But you are not sure exactly how. Upon a little investigation on the web you will find that there are many video handling modules that are available which all it needs is download a free copy and install in your website. Now you Joomla Website can handle videos for people to view online or download.
Now after a while you have more information about your RC projects and would like to create a members section to view privileged information, all you need to do then is allow visitor to register and sign in to your members section. This can be paid or free access, and when developing your pages all you have to do is select which user group of your website should be able to view the content.
Just make things more clear for you about how flexible Joomla is and how you can just add or remove components and modules, one day you decide to sell some products via your website. If you were to go and get a shopping cart developed its could cost you from $1000 to $10000+, however thanks to the open source community and a Shopping cart Module called Virtuemart this can be achieved for FREE.
So I hope that you have learned few little things about how usable, flexible and simple Joomla Content Management System is.
Following are some of the examples of what we have used Joomla for:
