9. • The genesis of Joomla goes back to August 2005 when the project broke
off from another web design project “Mambo”.

management software into the open source domain.
• Internet users at the OpenSourceMatters website
(www.opensourcematters. org) spoke in support for the new project and
in early September of 2005, Joomla! was born. The comes from the
Arabic for "all together", which is an important idea for this web design
project.

Joomla! Is
Really
powerful and
Makes our Job
easier

11. 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.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES
No need to know new interface: Because everything is on browser.
Multiple user can update website
One change can be reflected through out the website.
Support: Joomla.org has a huge selection of development tools and tutorials available
for users.
Joomla allows us to create Simple sites, Complex sites, Custom applications and
Specialized sites.
Beginner to Intermediate Usability: Joomla was designed mainly for simple websites and
blogs, and for people with only some knowledge of building. This means that it does not have
much advanced functionalities for those looking to truly customize complex sites.
Security: Every site in Joomla will use its own login details which makes the work easier but
the site less secure.
Resources: The system and sites can use a large amount of server resources comparable to
other CMS solutions
Costs: There are some plugins that come with a price tag for Joomla
