Overall Satisfaction with Joomla!

Joomla! is used by our marketing and web development teams. We design websites to hand off to our clients and also teach them to use it in order to allow them to make small changes. It addresses many problems such as time management and reliability. Being that we hand these sites off, they need to be user-friendly and easy to teach.
  • Keeps content organized
  • Safe to use
  • Teachable to someone who is not a web developer
  • Make things more customizable
  • Sites are a nightmare as far as responsiveness via tablet and phone
  • Add more templates
  • We make money off building sites for people
  • We make money maintaining sites for people
  • We make money internally via our corporate website lead gen
I have used WordPress which is similar in many ways but harder to use in my opinion. It is also not easy to teach people how to learn WordPress because of its design and usability. I do think that WordPress is faster to adapt new changes to technology such as responsiveness or parallax designs.
Joomla! is good for a lot of different people/businesses - but especially if other people need to learn the system and never used it before. It is pretty easy to learn and pass off for edits (content wise). It's also easy to build if you don't need a highly customized website.
