Overall Satisfaction

Working with many industries, I have come to realize that the website is essential. The growth of online marketing and website performance play a major part. Many clients needs different features to start and implement new features to their website in the future. Depending on the overall specifications we mostly suggest the Joomla platform to clients so that they can manage their users as well as their content. Joomla gives extra benefit to the users in the form of management of their e-commerce sites as well as their blog sites.

Being a senior developer for my company, I realize most of the required features can generally be achieved using Joomla, so we mainly try to customize our own templates as well as create extensions (modules and plugins) as we go.
  • Joomla is capable of handling medium to large online stores
  • Joomla is capable of handling large content as well as blogging websites
  • Joomla overall is easily accessible and client friendly
  • More versality in Extensions
  • - Shopping Cart
  • - Blogging
  • - Forums
  • - Slideshows
  • - Galleries
  • More support needed
  • They release quick new versions too freqently
  • It's an open source platform
  • Easy to understand for clients
  • Lots of developers use this platform
  • WordPress,Drupal,Magento
Magento helps to develop E-commerce websites but it is only the preferred solution if you have more than 5000 products.
Excellent choice overall.
I'm a bit concerned about the security. but overall its a great product.
