What is Joomla?
Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS). It enables you (yes, even beginners) to easily manage powerful yet affordable web sites, Intranets and web applications. Being so easy to use and extend has made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Around 30 million websites are built with Joomla.
The Joomla CMS is useful for building and updating small business websites or larger corporate websites - when Wordpress just isn't powerful enough. It is the true, industry standard content management system.
