Overall Satisfaction with Joomla!

I use it to build web applications to solve an engineering problem that a corporate company has had. I've improved the business processes and communication between all our locations working together. Without Joomla, we'd all be back to email processes and slow production.
  • Custom Applications (Fabrik Extensions)
  • Complex Custom User Access - As complex as you can think it, you can create the access!
  • Mobile Compatible - Joomla 3 is mobile ready and bootstrapped. Also there's so many professional templates to choose from, most being mobile compatible.
  • Accessibility - Fortunately they have a team working on that improvement
  • Marketing - I hear they have huge plans with this and I'm excited to hear!
  • Updates - On older versions of Joomla it's really complicated to upgrade! Luckily they have been improving this since Joomla 3.
  • With new custom applications there has been faster production lead time meaning millions of dollars in revenue for the company.
  • More available clients since CMSs are becoming a bigger thing.
After trying WordPress and Drupal, I've realized Joomla is the best middle ground CMS to use. It seems to solve every problem I've had for all sorts of websites. It has great e-commerce solutions, custom app solutions, social web platform solutions, etc. And the list goes on. Endless possibilities are the best two words I can use to describe it.
The biggest question is how simple does the client need a website. If it's a basic few page site or blogging site, then WordPress would be a great and lighter solution. Joomla is best for mid level small to medium sized business sites.
