Powerful and very easy to use

What do you like best? Joomla makes it really easy for me to take control of my website maintenance and updates. I rarely need assistance because it is so intuitive and easy to use. What do you dislike? Occasionally, the updates for some of my extensions aren't compatible with the latest version of Joomla, so I have to choose new extensions or fall behind, which is a security concern. Recommendations to others considering the product Setup can be a little tricky, and knowledge of CSS ...

Great CMS for extra functionality

What do you like best? The downloadable extensions, free and paid. You can make your site function exactly how you want it to with as little effort as you want. What do you dislike? Troubleshooting problems or changing core files. It's easy with the forums but probably the hardest thing I have to do. Recommendations to others considering the product Joomla can be used as is, or with some code knowledge, you can do a lot of enhancements and customization. What business problems are you ...

Great tool for building websites, very big repository of adding available

What do you like best? The flexibility in building websites and the large community that offers loads of add-ons for many purposes. What do you dislike? Configuration of the service takes a while, and you have to get used to the options. Recommendations to others considering the product Joomla offers a lot of flexibility, but you need to keep giving tech support to the end users to ensure that the configuration/updates are maintained. What business problems are you solving with the ...

Flexible, but not friendly

What do you like best? The joomla platform allows a web developer to do pretty much anything. It's got enough flexibility and add-ons to accommodate lots of styles. Text heavy, menu heavy, image heavy - it can handle it. You can customize everything according to your tastes. All that without much knowledge of coding beyond basic HTML 5 (although more certainly helps. It's pretty easy to create an initial (simple website if you don't have a lot of put up. An interesting function of ...

15 years using, everytime better

What do you like best? I developed from a single landing page (using JA page builder to an entire University website including eCommerce. The versatility and flexibility to deploy customisations is a big thing in Joomla. What do you dislike? Hope they don't repeat the big problems we had with the change from 1.5 to 3 through 2.5. Imposible to upgrade the v1.5 and v2.5 that we still have working with many problems. Hope that v3 lasts for many years or that they find a new way to upgrade,. ...

Full featured CMS

What do you like best? Joomla allows you to create virtually any web solution with the selection of the right components, modules and plugins. Once set up, Joomla is relatively simple for a layperson to manage. What do you dislike? If not properly managed, vulnerabilities can make the site open to hackers. This is true of any website structure but seems to be more common when dealing with popular cms like Joomla. Recommendations to others considering the product Visit Joomla.org to ...

Great Website Builder

What do you like best? Easy to use for new users to pick up and learn. Fast updating for websites as well. What do you dislike? Sometimes the backend can get a little unruly, but nothing a little patience cannot fix. Recommendations to others considering the product This product is really easy to maintain and work with once setup. I was not here for original setup, so I cannot answer for that part of the implementation. The product really does well with updating and working with the ...
