What is a Joomla Website?

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build websites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular website software available. Joomla is a pre-packaged application adapted to suit the needs of various businesses and organisations.

What is a content management system (CMS)?

A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your website. 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 once set up.

What is the correct choice for me?

The initial outlay to set up a CMS website is higher than a brochure site. If your website is going to be constantly changing, with more and more information added to it, then a CMS site is for you. If you want to take control over the information on your website, then a CMS website is for you.
