Open Source Software is typically low cost. Joomla! 1.5, a very popular Open Source CMS, is released under the GNU/General Public License v 2.0 and is FREE. The alternative is investing in a custom programmed CMS which can be very costly and have an extended development waiting period. In addition, adding new functionality to such custom programming is not necessarily seamless and is equally costly and time intensive.
Joomla! changes all that ...
Joomla! is different from the normal models for Content Management Systems. For a start, it's not complicated. Joomla! has been developed for everybody and anybody can develop it further. It is designed to work (primarily) with other Open Source free software modules (Joomla! Extensions) programmed in PHP and uses MySQL - the world's most popular Open Source database.
Joomla! is easy to install and administer, doesn't require an advanced knowledge of HTML and is reliable.
To get the perfect website with all the functionality that you require often takes no more than visiting the Joomla! Community Support Forum that is available. With the many Third Party Developers actively creating and releasing new Extensions for the 1.5 platform on an almost daily basis, there is likely to be an Extension already out there to meet your needs. Contact us for more information or to ask us to develop your own custom Joomla! Extension and be part of the community.
