Joomla! Is Really

powerful and Makes our Job easier

Why Joomla Is Better Than Other CMS

Joomla• It is designed to work perfectly in basic

shared web hosting environments, a package that is least expensive and most common. Installer is simple and just like any other common desktop software.

• It is supported by several extensions, add-on, and plug in. They are written in PHP, which is most widely used, general purpose scripting language and best suited for web development.

• Joomla probably has a pre built module to transform it in a social bookmarking website.

• Joomla's greatest advantage is availability of a large number of extensions that you can use to Plug-in extra features into your website and transform your website into anything you like.

Other CMS

• The installation process is a bit complicated.

• Add-ons, Plug-ins, although deeply integrated, but are less powerful compared to Joomla.

• It is not known to support it.

• Very Limited extensibility.
