Taking Joomla To The Next Level !

There are a variety of content management systems available today, and Joomla has joined the ranks, and has been around since 2005. Joomla is a free, open source content management system. It is used to make publishing content on the World Wide Web so much easier.

Content management systems are used online as a way of simplifying the building of a website. Often, all one has to do is have a content management system installed, and learning how to use the back end in order to paste in content and set it up how you would like your website to look like. Sometimes the problem with content management systems, or CMSs, is that not everyone can use the system. While it does simplify building a website, not every system is easy to use. There can still be codes and features that need to be changed in order to get the CMS to look like you want it to.

Joomla is a little different. It came about out of Mambo, and a development team worked hard to create the content management system. The team developed OpenSourceMatters. It was designed to give away information to users and web designers and anyone who wanted the coding. After the official site opened, a thousand people joined up in the first day. They continued to establish their free software community and took suggestions. In September of 2005, they re-branded Mambo as Joomla.

Joomla is a little different from other content management systems, with a different backend that allows any user to be able to create the website they want. Joomla has actually been given awards for its ability to create website so easily and that it can be extended with the use of “plugins”.

Plugins are created extensions that add additional features or functions to Joomla. These plugins can help customize your website with features you can use. Joomla has over 3,000 of these plugins available via their website. There is a directory available that organizes them and sorts them into categories. New plugins are added all the time, as developers work on new ways to make Joomla better.

Joomla has been used on all sorts of websites. Online magazines, newspapers, government applications, small business web sites, even personal home pages have been created using this CMS. It is used by the United Nations, MTV, Harvard University and many more websites. Imagine the same system used by these schools, media companies and governments is also being used by individuals as a homepage. That’s because Joomla is that versatile. It can be extended or you can make it as simple as you need for it to be. It is made so easy, especially if you are new to building websites .

Joomla is also free. It is available to everyone, and comes under the GPL license. This makes it not only usable, but you can customize the code itself as you see fit, if you would like to. Joomla is available for download at the main website, and is constantly updated and made better by a team of developers that work on it all the time.

Getting started with Joomla is pretty easy. There’s an online demo available at the main site and when you feel comfortable with how to use it, you can install it. Actually, many cheap web hosting companies that are available today offer a one-click method of installing Joomla. Most hosting programs come with a control panel that has something called Fantastico or something similar, which installs various programs easily and also keeps them updated. With this, you are able to update Joomla easily, and without too complicated an installation.

Not that Joomla is complicated to install. In fact, it is rather easy. You can download the files you need onto your computer, upload them to your webhost , and let Joomla walk you through the rest. There are written instructions available on the website and some guides to help you install your Joomla on your hosting program. It can also help you with installing plugins as well if you wish to. There are so many features to Joomla and they made it pretty easy to be able to install and then to use later.

Once you start using Joomla, they have an entire community available to help you with some support. You can ask questions and get help while you are developing your site. You can also share what you learn with others, report errors when you see some, and help to continue build the content management system. Your tips and suggestions help developers continue to improve the system and to make it better for everyone.

When you are feeling brave and creative, you can try creating new plugins and extras for Joomla. The community always welcomes new people willing to contribute added elements and to help develop the code. If you have a knack for it, you can try working with others creating and developing the code yourself. When you finished, it could be added to the directory. You can also just create the code for your own personal use.

Web designers can also use Joomla. They let you use it for free when building websites for other people. In fact, it can make building websites for others so much easier. Once you get used to Joomla and how it works, you can use it for others. In the case of website building too, you can actually make it easier for your customers to be able to go in and change things on their own if you prefer that, or if they prefer it.

Joomla can be so easy to use, and is a rather unique content management system. The constant support and development ensures that it will be around a long time. Once you start using it, you will find that website development and content management will become so simplified. You might not use any other method of website development or any other content management system, if you find that it works for you.
