Using Joomla for Web Development

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

Choosing Joomla for your web development has superior strengths to competitor products known as WISIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) platforms like FrontPage or Dreamweaver.

1. Joomla incorporates a Content Management System.

This feature ensures that all your website pages are developed, maintained and updated easily, including adding or removing new pages.  A CMS ability is the key advantage over constructing and coding a website in the straightforward HTML standard language.

2. Joomla is an Open Source web development product

Using Joomla means that there are no licensing fees, costs which you do have to pay for a Microsoft product or an alternative commercial product.  There is also an enormous community of skilled users available online 24 / 7 to provide support.

3. Some other good reasons to develop your website use Joomla!

A very attractive feature of Joomla! is its functionality. It’s great for tasks  such as simple brochure site web development to entire shopping cart sites, or indeed fully interactive online membership websites. Avail of the 3,500 plugins and add-ons to extend its functionality including exciting and easy to use shopping carts, videos, galleries, blogs, forums, project tools – in fact everything you could possibly need to develop your web site.

4. Re-design is easier

Template systems also make it easy to change the look and feel of your site without having to redo the whole site from scratch. You can literally change the whole graphic design/look of the site in a matter of seconds while retaining the content. Find more than 2000 templates, many of them free, allow a web developer to change the look and feel of your site quite easily.

5. Joomla V WordPress

Although WordPress allows web developers to access many plugins too, and can extend to many new functions, it simply doesn’t have the sheer power underlying it’s infrastructure for web developers to easily plug in a comprehensive shopping cart for ecommerce websites for example.
