What is Joomla and what you should know.

Last month we discussed about different types of website including Content Management System, popularly known as CMS. Today we are going to go ahead and discuss about Joomla. Chances are you have already heard about this term, as this is an widely used CMS all over the world. Joomla is an open source content management system meaning it is completely FREE and is also extremely user friendly.

As you would expect from any CMS, Joomla lets you add, edit and remove content from the website from a password protected interface. It even lets you create multiple users so that more than one user can edit the content at the same time from any part of the world. The beauty of the product is that you don’t have to install any software on your local computer as long as the website has been already created. Login into your joomla administrator account is easy as well. All you need to do is, on your browser window, type your website domain followed by a forward slash and then administrator, and press enter.

You will get a login screen similar as below.

Type in you user name and password and click Log in button. You will be taken to the admin panel from where you can edit your website.

Once you get hang of the tools, you can easily add contents, change design layout and do many other things. The interface is user friendly and there is huge support base if you slip into some problems. The joy of this CMS is you hardly need any expertise in web designing. So, as long as you are familiar with basic computer knowledge, you can easily handle a website. As this is a CMS website, you will also save a lot on website maintenance that you have to pay for developer.
