 What is Joomla?

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.
Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is
freely available to everyone.

• One of the things that has made Joomla so

popular is the large number of freely and
commercially available extensions, which enable
users to do far more than simply manage
content

 What is CMS?

Content Management System (CMS)

• A content management system is software that
keeps track of every piece of content on your
Web site, much like your local public library
keeps track of books and stores them. Content
can be simple text, photos, music, video,
documents, or just about anything you can think
of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it
requires almost no technical skill or knowledge
to manage. Since the CMS manages all your
content, you don't have to.
