Overall Satisfaction with Joomla!

We design websites using Joomla as the base and it works great!
  • Security.
  • Expandability.
  • Their built-in editor is not as user-friendly as WordPress.
  • Canonical links are not a thing unless a third party extension is used.
  • Joomla itself is free but some of the extensions are paid and they have allowed me to create some truly functional websites.
  • Joomla's introduction of custom fields has allowed me to create websites that are easier for my clients to update.
Part of Joomla core, which is what comes with Joomla when you install it, is it's Access Control Lists. It allows you to not only control which users can access what, but allows you to create custom groups and have unique access per group. WordPress can't do that without a third-party plugin.
Joomla is a CMS for all types of projects, especially if you have multiple people editing your site. With its ability to control access to different articles, categories or even different components, it makes it a great tool for businesses or government where there are multiple branches of the same organization but handled by different people. It can handle bloggers, news organizations, towns, cities, corporate giants, or mom and pops.
