What is Joomla?

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available.

Why is Joomla award-winning?

Joomla 1.5 is simply the best content management system, (there are many).

Why, because it is so adaptable.  Once installed on the server the website can then be constructed.

Essentially, Joomla is a modular framework which can be built upon easily and quickly.  Once you have your Joomla built website it can be adapted and added to at any point later.  If you decide that you need an ecommerce component to add an online shop, no problem. Need a forum, a community site, a classified section or magazine structure or blog or intranet no problem.  Any need can be satisfied.

What are some real world examples of what Joomla! can do?

Joomla is used all over the world to power Web sites of all shapes and sizes. For example:

* Corporate Web sites or portals
* Corporate intranets and extranets
* Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
* E-commerce and online reservations
* Government applications
* Small business Web sites
* Non-profit and organizational Web sites
* Community-based portals
* School and church Web sites
* Personal or family homepages
