4 of 6: Some Benefits of Using Joomla!

Community Support

Joomla!’s resounding success is well-reflected in its thriving online community. If you have any doubts with using Joomla!, the Joomla! Community can offer one of your best sources to find answers. These communities consist of domain experts like designers, developers etc. You may share your CMS problems/questions on board (forum). With thousands of members in the Community, you can be assured of a reply in the least possible time. All this without spending a dollar!

Of course, if you choose to invest in a Joomla!-powered web design from InternetTIPS.com, rest assured, we can support you and your website as long as you choose to stay with us.

Continual Development

The online world is changing rapidly and so are your CMS needs. Joomla! has now marked the tradition of releasing upgraded versions to meet your varying needs and expectations. In not more than two years of time, Joomla! has brought in numerous helpful versions. The core development team works in tandem with the community members to upgrade Joomla! and release newer versions. As a result you get advanced knowledge and systems to stay ahead in the online marketplace.

Components and Modules

As discussed in the previous section, there are numerous Joomla! components or add-ons and modules that you can get as per the requirements. Often these modules and components are developed by the community members or third party entities. You can download modules, components and mambots for free, or by paying a small amount for a license. Some of them may be bound by License regulations. These components, when added to your website and CMS, can enhance the functionality of your website.

Templates

Templates make it easier for you to design your website without having to rely on a web designer. Joomla! templates, are designed to give a fresh, attractive look and feel to your website. There are a number of web designers (either community members or third party teams) that provide you with Joomla! templates. They are easy to install and integrate with your CMS.

Other benefits

Joomla:

  • Is an open source CMS, free of cost and does not come with a licensing fee.
  • Is user friendly, easy to use, flexible, scalable and customizable.
  • Provides editable sections. Allows authors to add topics and sections.
  • Can be made highly search engine friendly.

A little known drawback

A carefully planed and set up Joomla!-powered website can be astonishingly easy to work with once created - especially for non-technical users. However, creating an accessible, usable and search engine friendly, world class website using Joomla can sometimes be tricky to establish if you're not a web designer. That's why, here at InternetTIPS.com, we offer both "routes to web success":
