    The Joomla Project
    If your developers want to have some fun, Joomla offers the stability and friendliness to do custom coding. Certain marketing initiatives require us to get "cute" with the interface, and Joomla allows for that a bit easier than WordPress (and definitely easier than sites like Squarespace). The security of Joomla is also always a plus.

    Again, WiseStamp solved all of the problems I've had with other email signature creators in the past. The links work, the images display correctly, the design and layout remain intact, and everything I want and need for my signature is great with WiseStamp. I highly recommend WiseStamp to anyone looking for a well-crafted email signature and anyone who counts on their email signature to display as intended.

    Pros
    The Joomla Project
    • Security. Its got many new features in the new Joomla! 4 which make the already good security even better. I like the ability to use my Yubi keys to log in with the new webauth standard, I don't think any other CMS has that built in
    • W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 (with AA compliance)
    • Really good SEO that gets our sites to the top of the search engines again without the need for any extra things
    • Speed, it gets a really good score (100%) in the google lighthouse on our server, can't beat that

    • Professional Email Signatures - the designs a person can create with WiseStamp are definitelt sleek and modern. They have a variety of templates with a fair amount of customisation and a possibility to design your own template for an extra fee.
    • Centralized Signature Management - WiseStamp provides a platform for organizations to manage email signatures for all employees from a single dashboard. There is customisability on how much the company hires their employees to be a part of email signature editing, which is very useful to keep the whole feel of the organization on brand as tailored as possible.
    • Social Media Integration - allows the inclusion of clickable social media icons in signatures, encouraging engagement on platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook. That is one of the main aspects why we chose WiseStamp as well - since these custom clickable links are very hard to create in any other way.
    • Dynamic Content - whether it is changing photos or different banners, that can be updated without modifying the signature design. This is super useful Useful for marketing campaigns, special offers, or events.

    Cons
    The Joomla Project
    • Because Joomla's user community is smaller than WP, it lacks as many choices from 3rd party developers, meaning it can be a little more difficult to find the right extension for what you need to accomplish
    • Along the same vein, most of the best 3rd-party software for Joomla! is paid
    • Simple features such as Add to Menu and Cache cleaners should be adopted as part of the Joomla! core, though they are available as extensions
    • Joomla! could use a simpler and easier URL rewriting process

    • I'd like to see more template options.
    • I want the logo and team photo to appear in line with each other. Currently, they appear in two different sizes.
    • I want it to be easier to change the employee photo on each signature.

    I gave it a rating of 10 because I just love how Joomla! works, how it is set up and how it handles many users. Also it is very fast, and there is no overload on the MySQL database or servers ever.

    Usability
    The Joomla Project
    Joomla! 3.x is easily installed either manually or via a script provided by your host. It contains most of the tools needed to begin creating websites right from the start. Those features that it doesn't have are easily installed via links and buttons from the thousands of extensions available in the community

    My recommendation for anyone starting with WiseStamp for the first time is to go super simple. Spend no more than 15 minutes, if even that long, throwing something together. Use that for a couple of weeks and then if you'd like to add some more tricked-out features, go for it but it really isn't necessary. While WiseStamp can do a lot, great design is in the simplicity. So, think of who is going to see the info and craft it with them in mind as more isn't always better. Remember, it's just the gist of who you are and not your resumé.

    Today's Modern Joomla performs very well and is robust and durable. The pages load faster than they ever did in the past and Modern Joomla's integration into other software or systems has become seamless. Modern Joomla sites will last long and will stay running forever.

    Between the core Joomla developers who are excellent at answering questions and providing support, you have a whole community of developers who work with Joomla and are happy to help fellow developers out answering questions and supporting the Joomla project. Out of the many communities I am involved in for open-source software, Joomla's community is by far the best.

    Joomla has gone through tremendous growing pains. It is now better than ever. But before, when it was going from 1.5-2.5, the templates and plugins would break over and over again. If you don't understand what Joomla was trying to do back then, you might have a bad attitude toward it. Today, those pains are over and things don't break like they used to during that time period.

    We tested other platforms like WordPress, Magento and some local CMS. 
    But Joomla offered us better resources for generating content.
    Joomla is a CMS suitable for many types of projects, especially if you have several people editing content at the same time.
    It allows you to maintain visual standardization and offers many options for working with images.
    With its ability to control access to different articles, categories or even different components, it is a great tool, even if they are managed by different people.

    CodeTwo is much more customizable and offers a wider range of integrated scenarios, so I guess it fits larger companies better. However, managing it was way too complex for us (non-IT guys). Our choice was mainly technical because they range in a similar price.

    • Joomla has reduced our costs of rolling out a new website because it uses less developer time and can be rolled out by individual users as needed.
    • Joomla has a lot of extensions and add-ons that make it easy to create and implement advanced solutions quickly.

    • I have increased my calendar bookings from outreach emails by more than 200%
    • It makes it easier for people to schedule time with me when multiple people are involved as they can see my availability by clicking the link.
    • I have had customers that have not used me for a period of time book time out of the blue by going back to one of my old emails and seeing the scheduling link there
    • I use the banner tool whenever there is a promotion or to promote some of my sponsor brands to my clients without them even realising they are getting "adverts"
