FAQ About Joomla

What is Joomla and a CMS site:

Joomla is a CMS platform (web files and companion database "developer kit") which allows a developer to more rapidly build multipurpose sites that have a built-in content management interface accessed via a browser login.

What if the company offering the CMS software goes out of business?

The Joomla CMS platform is supported by hundreds of developers around the globe, as volunteers. There is no company that is susceptible to economics and at risk of "going out of business". There is no licensing restriction, either. It is open source, free to use as you will.

How is a CMS site different from other sites?

The files and database are not different or unique or special in any way. Joomla is built on PHP and generally uses a mySQL database to hold the content. The CMS is simply the pre-built foundational platform that a developer can use to rapidly jumpstart complex web projects, and leverage the modular code of the CMS to provide robust web features at more affordable price points than if the platform code also needed to be constructed.

What are the main advantages of a CMS like Joomla?

Too many to name: security, flexibility (extensible), affordable, can be updated by the site owner, help forums and documentation manuals are common online, upgradeable (always improving), etc.

Can I see a site in Joomla?

There are millions of Joomla sites online, but no one knows the precise number. Organizations as diverse as the Guggenheim Museum and IHop restaurants trust Joomla for their main websites.

There are many universities, legal / govt sites using Joomla, see the links below for a few organization websites built with Joomla.

What are the limitations to the design of a site on Joomla?

None whatsoever. Any site in the world that you see, can be made into a Joomla site (and may already be a Joomla site). In the end, all websites deliver the same thing to the browser for parsing: HTML and CSS. So there is no limits to the design possibilities.

Organizations that Use Joomla Websites
