Searching for a user-friendly open source CMS solution can be a tough job. There are so many systems that you can choose among. Probably the most popular one that we could think of is WordPress. But how did Joomla become so popular that it could find its place on the market? In terms of complexity, it is ranked somewhere between the simple WordPress and the super advanced Drupal.
Its main advantage is that it is user-friendly for all users – designers, developers, administrators and users with moderate technical knowledge. It has been rapidly growing and improving in the last few years so we are expecting a lot of new updates that will be supported by the community.
Joomla’s administration panel is a bit out of the box. It has integrated user management options, search facility, polls and calendar templates, as well as help support. It is SEO optimized as it comes with a built-in SEO structure for meta tags and descriptions.
