Joomla is by far one of the most popular Content Management System used today. Because of its powerful features, Joomla enjoys widespread patronage and people find deserting traditional HTML based sites for Joomla a more feasible option. So let's take a look at some of the reasons for the astounding popularity of Joomla and why people are always willing to use it.
Â
With Joomla you can create sites to cater to the taste of international audiences since it supports many languages. If you intend to design a site for non English readers this feature can be a life saver. So even if your site is in English, your visitors can choose another language to view the contents if you install Joomla with an extension for languages. The site will be incredibly user friendly because visitors will be able to view the content in a language of their choice with a single click.
Â
If you have numerous people working on the same site, Joomla is the ideal tool for you. Normally, there would be a queue of people waiting for the programmer or the designer to upload their content and this would equate to a lot of wasted hours. However, with Joomla you can make the entire procedure very simple because people will be able to create their own content and upload it with the proper permission. Another advantage is the uniform site wide template so that even though the authors of the content are different the site on the whole will have a consistent look.
Â
With Joomla you can enable multiple user authentications, so essentially numerous people can log on to the site simultaneously with their individual permissions. Accomplishing the same result would be cumbersome in a traditional site because the developer would have to include authentication and then follow it up with the levels of user access. But since this is an in built feature in Joomla the task is relatively easy. You can also develop a social networking site with Joomla on your own without enlisting the help of a developer and since you will be building the site on your own there will be little or no expense involved.
Â
When you use Joomla you get templates that can be used to build a site with uniform feel since all the pages have a standard look. So there is no need to fret over an errant page standing out like a sore thumb. With Joomla you will be able to see all the pages within a single template and you can change this template at any point to give you site a makeover. So a brand new looking website will just be a click away because you will not have to change the web pages individually.
Â
However, the most sought after feature of Joomla is its ability to allow the usage of extensions. An extension is a software program that can be installed on an existing site with Joomla. You can achieve additional functionality when you install extensions and get the features that would be beyond the scope of standard Joomla installation. The possibilities with Joomla are extraordinary because a plethora of extensions are available. So when you use Joomla your site will never need another customized up gradation, you can simply rummage through the myriad of extensions and find one that is appropriate for your requirements.
