Joomla Reviews

For highly customized website needs, I definitely would use Joomla. The Joomla core is a strong base for creating complex websites. Extending and customizing with Joomla is quick and easy for someone with PHP knowledge.

I would really rather use Joomla over WordPress and Drupal any day.

Joomla! is currently being overhauled at version 3.2 but has many users also running version 2.5.18 which is still maintained by its community of programmers. The shear size of its user base tells me that it will be supported and grow for long years to come. The constant modernizing of the platform and the dedication of its vast add-on community tells me that it will continue to spread as the content management platform of choice for medium-sized projects.

Companies are looking for ways to save money and Joomla!'s Open Source license makes it a strong candidate for websites. It is inexpensive to run and efficiently updated by users. It can be cloned on the Cloud for high numbers of users. A small team can set up a Joomla! site in a week.

Joomla has a great release plan for future features and has some major players in the technology industry such as Ebay backing the project. A lot of major sites use Joomla today with massive amounts of data, highly customized functionality to very well designed templates. Joomla is one of those products that fits the bill 99% of the time when a client needs a site!

Just yesterday I started developing a new site using Joomla. I still use WordPress but hands down, Joomla is my go-to solution.

With each new project that lands on my plate, I have to carefully consider the best solution. Joomla! is not always the solution, but that isn't to say I don't frequently take it out of the toolbox. Since the mid-size projects that Joomla! is perfect for are anything but rare, I'm sure I'll be employing Joomla! again relatively soon, and it will be the new-and-improved Joomla! 3 if I have anything to say about it.

Renew is not a fair term as it is free and open source but we will continue to use Joomla.

The growing in the Joomla community had helped to get more and new options for specific features you are looking for on your website: The opportunity to integrate with other databases helps to get access to more corporate environments. The broad community is available to support and guide you anytime. Many options available to handle security in your website and provide a robust solution.

After years of offering all three of the top CMS' in regards to development, design, and training experience, I chose four years ago to begin offering and using Joomla exclusively. Client experience has taught me that Joomla simply fits 99% of most requirements.

One thing people must understand about Joomla is that it is completely FREE. No subscriptions at all! Any subscriptions that one would make would be with the third party plugin developers. The Joomla you download is yours forever, and you will be given automatic notifications when an updated version of Joomla is available. That updated version can be installed with ONE click of a button, no charge, no unzipping files, and no big hassles in most cases (unless one of your plugins is only meant for the older version of Joomla, but that is a plugin problem, not a Joomla problem.) Joomla is committed to providing a free solution that is kept up to date and continues to grow with the challenges and new industry standards.

I've used Joomla for over 7 years now and just find that it meets the needs of my clients. If it stops doing that then I'll consider something else but right now it does.

I will continue to use Joomla because of the continued upgrades that make it even more robust, user friendly and come with so much built in functionality.

My whole business is built around the Joomla! platform. Again, powerful, professional, flexible, yet easy to use are the only words that come to mind and are worth repeating, as this is what clients want and need, and what this developer and the Joomla! community appreciate.

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.

I have been working with different Content Management Systems and even tried to develop one myself. But year after year and client after client I saw that none of the other solutions worked better than Joomla for my clients. It's relatively easy to use, quite flexible and you always have one of the worlds biggest and loyal users community behind your back to help you if you have any problem.

Put simply, I love it!

For me it's the best choice for a standard website.

I believe Joomla! has sectors that it would be a great fit for, like education and small government sectors. It's great for those with less than 100 content authors. For enterprise level, it wouldn't be my first choice.

Only if a client REALLY wants to use it, otherwise, I'll stick with less complicated/costly CMS alternatives.

I have moved to a new company where they use only WordPress for their CMS.

We have done the hard yards in learning how to, effectively use Joomla! We have been using Joomla! since version 1.6 and it is constantly evolving, for the better. If Joomla! keeps on improving, as it is at the moment, I cannot see why we should start using any other software.

Excellent choice overall.

Because Joomla! is constantly maintained and updated the code remains robust, efficient, and secured. The versatility of this platform makes it ideal for small businesses and those needing capabilities above many Wordpress sites.

Joomla is a free CMS that is robust and very capable of developing very distinctive websites. Modules, components, plugins all add to the excellent support that the Joomla community provides.

Renewal is very likely as our clients are happy with the end results and its easy to transition the site to them. Our turnaround time with these sites is impressive.
