Joomla Development

Without any publicity, Joomla has become a rage among the community of web designers/developers, and has swept the web. So much so, that because of its immense popularity Joomla won the Packt Publishing Content Management System Award in the years 2006 and 2007 successively. Joomla meaning ‘all together’ in Swahili, is an open source CMS that is built on the powerful PHP platform. Completely doing justice to its name, Joomla has the powerful and magical tools to transform your website into a dynamic one and a feast for the eyes. Joomla has a definite advantage over several other CMS software available on the web. Despite having powerful tools for managing and publishing content on the World Wide Web and its intranets, yet Joomla has amazingly simple and functional interface that does not depend entirely on one’s coding skills.

As a matter of fact, you can widely use Joomla’s dexterous content management resources that are convenient even for nonprofessionals or beginners. This means that you don’t need to be a technical genius to manage and operate the Joomla applications. Apart from having powerful yet resilient features, Joomla is an open source CMS which proves to be both lucrative and cost effective for you. This means that licensing fees are not required and you only need to pay a nominal amount for the actual developing services.

Choice of good vendors/developers: Utilizing Joomla’s ‘free’ open source status, if you decide to design in-house software by exploiting the resources of the Joomla framework, you are not restricted to any third party developing firm.
