Likelihood to Recommend

We like how easy and user-friendly is for us to do edits with Joomla! When we want to deliver a basic but stable site, especially for landing pages, we take advantage of the basic and simple tools that the CMS has. No need for coding at all so I will recommend it for those who do not have much web design knowledge.
