Joomla, an award-winning open source CMS (Content Management System) software, allows users to build elegant and highly functional websites.

Joomla is a very popular web interface as it has been downloaded and put into use over 50 million times. It is considered to be the second most used interface after WordPress, and is extremely functional and easy to use.

Get Started

Joomla is completely free both for the site and for the hosting. Joomla website development is very easy. To get started, choose a site name, pick out a template that you like, and you are ready to go. You can customize the text inside of the template, add pictures and edit it all with the touch of your mouse.

Joomla is already set up to get you online very quickly, as all you have to do is register, and your website is immediately online. All of the templates are ready to go too, on all mobile sites and they will adjust automatically when they are viewed on those devices.

Joomla has a special media manager where you can upload and store your images. You can use the images that come with the template, or you can upload, store, and use the images that you want. It could not be any easier.

Get Connected

Promote or share your site with your friends through your social media accounts by creating links. You can also add a Google map to show the location of a business or any other location you choose. Use Google Analytics to monitor your site’s traffic and add a section for comments through Disqus Comments.

You will also receive 200 MB of free space for your website on the hosting platform of SiteGround, which will be super optimized for you.

Get More Templates

Though the number of templates available on the Joomla site is limited, you can easily find workable templates on other sites such as SiteGround, Joomla’s hosting partner.

Most of the SiteGround templates are free and are very useful in helping to make a website more relevant by the style of its homepage. The templates are illustrated in categories so they are easy to browse through and look at. There are many other sites similar to the SiteGround site that will also have free Joomla templates with which to work.

Get Help

If you encounter a baffling problem or have a question in mind, go to Joomla’s complete tutorial section for a quick fix or bring up your questions in the Joomla community forum.

Joomla is free and is maintained by a large open source community. You can use Joomla.com for a modified version of Joomla, which is used to create free-hosted websites.  You can’t do any better than that! That is why the Joomla website development project has really taken off and has become a very popular platform.
