Joomla is one of the leading content management systems available today. Since it's licensed under the GPL anyone can use it for free on their site. Joomla is a professional quality product that is very easy to use. This is leading to a huge increase in the number of people choosing to use it.
One of the fantastic features of Joomla is the great community involvement. You can also find a large number of templates for use on your site. While you'll find some you need to pay for, you'll find many for free. Just because the template is free doesn't mean it won't be as good. In fact, some of the best templates you will find are free, and that is the great thing about Joomla community; they share freely with each other.
Over the years Joomla has built a reputation as being tough to learn but it's actually fairly easy, making building sites with free Joomla templates a simple task. When you look around online you will find thousands of tutorials showing you exaclyt how to harness the power of Joomla. The official forum also has close to two million posts that contain almost all the informaiton you could ever need.
Using the multiple of available modules you can turn the Joomla content management system into almost any type of site you can imagine. These modules, known as extensions, integrate fully with the basic software. They can be used to add all types of functionality, such as calendars, polls, forums, blogs, almost anything you can imagine.
While making websites with Joomla usually means creating the larger portal type of web site, small personal web sites can easily be built too. Joomla has considerable power and the software is extremely robust. This makes it ideally suitable for the serious professional website, but as already mentioned, any size of website can be built with Joomla.
While many sites offer very similar functionality, the ones that tend to do the best often do so because of great design. You can always pay for a great custom template, but there are many sites that offer quality Joomla templates for free.
Making websites with Joomla is not only easy, but low cost too. The software is extremely robust and as good as it gets. Finding a template is not only easy, but hard to avoid. There really is no reason why anyone should not be creating websites with Joomla.
