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.

Are you choosing the right website?

Choosing a website can be a tricky job. There are awful lots of ways to develop a website. It depends solely upon what type of business or needs you have. Sometimes web developers may persuade you to develop a website just because they are easier for them to develop or it may be more profitable for them. so, its very important to know about websites and their purpose.

Static websites

A static website is the simplest form of website, in which the site’s content is delivered without the use of server side processing. Static websites are used principally for brochure sites and can include complex graphics, animations and JavaScript driven features.
The main limitation of static websites is that they cannot provide complex user interactivity because they cannot either gather information from the user or serve content which is dependent on user actions. Large static sites are also time consuming to develop and more difficult to update because changes need to be implemented individually on each page of the site. However, if a business does not require a large website or advanced interactivity, a static site which is developed using XHTML and CSS will provide clean, compact coding and good search engine performance.
