Why choose Joomla! ?

The Content Management Sytem (CMS) world is charging hard and making huge waves in the industry. CMS's have evolved in the last 7 years or so into a defacto development platform for many developers, namely myself.

CMS's have replaced many of the tools we used to use to develop websites. The evolution of the internet has matured the tools so that now developers can quickly bring a site to market. It used to take quite a long time to hand code a site. Now using CMS's that time has greatly been reduced. Not only can we build sites faster, but much more accurately too.

The CMS's are backed up by databases, to help you dynamically manage and serve content. The database also helps protect you, but there are still issues with hacking. Those that want to get control of your site, are going to probably overcome any defenses you have, but with careful setup and choosing the right host, security can be yours.

The CMS world presents websites that are very modern, and that presents a new attitude towards managing the website month to month. Gone are the days of static sites, and here are the days of database driven sites and with it management routines. To manage a CMS website you must now carefully inspect the applications you have on site. Management includes monthly inspections and constants updates.

Why do we have to manage the sites every month? Because static sites can easily be overcome by hackers that have matured their techniques. If you think your site is just fine and does not need an upgrade, chances are you will come calling for a complete rebuild of a hacked and destroyed website.

Join the revolution, get into the CMS world. Check out Joomla! It is hands down the best you can find. Drupal is great but very industrial and chances are you do not need it. Got Wordpress? Get Joomla! Wordpress is a half measure with a ton of catch up to do. Joomla has been in development much longer and has a support base that is superior to pretty much any software out there!

Enjoy.
