Joomla! Your Own CMS Solution

Joomla!, an another widely used content management system, which is supported by its large community of developers posses all the features to suit any nature of business. No matter if you want to make a professional website, an online shop or a personal website you can do it all for through Joomla! Its easy installation and powerful administrator's panel makes it winner amongst the other content management solutions. One can very easily add content, images & audio and manage the database of his website. Such a great popularity of this software is also due to the large numbers of available templates and extensions. Wide availability of its plug-ins also helps the owner to make the website the way it needs to be. The setting up of its navigation structure also can be managed with the help of auxiliary tools.

Being an open source it is free to all and can be used by anyone. Its extensions, which help you in customisation of your website, can be found on its website. Some are free and for others you need to pay to use. But still if you are not exactly getting the module or extension of your choice you can create it. There are various tutorials available online for Joomla. You can read and watch videos available on YouTube or other video sharing sites. To understand the codes, you just need to have little technical knowledge about HTML and PHP and then, even you would be able to work on its technicalities. Or, the best and the most feasible thing would be to hire a company providing Joomla! services and they will do it for you in a more professional manner.

Joomla! Benefits:

1: Since the software has database driven site engine, it helps you to separate content, design and code.

2: Control over content. You do not need to be a technical person to publish or edit content.

3: People, other than admin can also publish content i.e multiple logins/users/authors.

4: Easy customisation of layout or design without disturbing the content.

5: You can create polls/voting system and forum to measure readers' choice.

6: Thousands of 3rd Part Extension to make your customization easy.

7: Browser upload of images to your own library for use anywhere in the site.

So if you are planning to adopt any CMS solution for your website anytime soon then don't forget to keep Joomla! away from your consideration list.

Re: Joomla Now Has A GetResponse Module - Hi guys, I just wanted to give my 2 cents on this subject as I am a Joomla enthusiast. I have 3 different Joomla sites and they all perform great, although they sometimes load a bit slowly. My main site went up drastically in the search engines after I converted it to Joomla. About the GetResponse module: Unfortunately, it's only compatible with Joomla 1.0, so for anyone like me who has the latest version, I doesn't work. Have a great day, everyone!
Joomla Knowledge - Hi ImpactAthlete How did you teach yourself on customizing Joomla? Was it trial and error or did you use books or a class? I've tried using Joomla but I'd say it would take me days to customise a Joomla website, maybe I should just give it ago! Thanks!

Re: Joomla Now Has A GetResponse Module - After reading the posts, I've come to two conclusions. Some people like Joomla, others don't. My question is, is there a good alternative to Joomla? I don't mean Wordpress, either. I've been considering starting a new site and would like to have content management as it's less of a hassle. My first thought was to use Joomla. Now I'm not so sure. I could probably make it work, though. A GetResponse module would be good for me, however, since I do use them. Are there any alternatives? Thanks! Alan
Re: Joomla Now Has A GetResponse Module - Hi Kevin, Interesting that you tried Joomla and then gave up on it. So did I! There is a lot to be said for Joomla. It can make your site look very professional, you can completely change design in just a few clicks of your mouse, and if you add anything to a panel you can display it throughout your site... Also, Joomla does seem to suck in traffic. My traffic stats improved with Joomla, probably because of the interactive features it offers, such as the article directory feature and so on. However, I also experienced various frustrations with Joomla. HTML is simpler and you have complete control over your site, but you do have to recode every page when you make design changes... (unless you are prepared to learn CSS and then deal with all the browser problems...) Also, I market the Plug-In Profits Site and came to the conclusion that it would be better business practice to show my potential customers what can be done with a Plug-In Profits site by using one myself and modifying it to suit my purposes. After all, there is no better advertisement for a product than the fact that the seller also uses it! On the other hand, I know a lot of Internet marketers who love Joomla, so I think it is just a matter of choosing what works best for you. ... And if you like Joomla and use the GetResponse autoresponder service, life just got easier for you! David H
