Why Choose Joomla? Never be "locked in" to a single design firm again!
By choosing the industry's leading open-source platform, you're choosing freedom, and the power to save money by maintaining your own website.
- Efficient, Versatile and Customisable.
- Easier to use than Drupal. More Powerful than Wordpress.
- Start with a simple site on a solid foundation, and add advanced features later without starting over.
- Large variety of add on extensions (7000+) to expand functionality.
- The Most Popular CMS for business websites with the largest community of developers to choose from.
- Save money by updating your own site.
- Joomla is Open Source Software, so you're not locked into a proprietary technology, or encrypted software that you can't customise.
- Structural separation of design, content and functionality, allowing you to change your design without building each page again from scratch.
- There is no other CMS around (open source or commercial) that provides the same ease of use with the power to expand in so many ways, without building each piece of functionality from scratch, and with such a large developer community.
