Joomla: A Powerful Platform for Website Development
Joomla, an effective web developing solution:
Web developers and programmers have always been supporting Joomla as the best development platform for the websites. This has been so for along time and the reason behind this is the utmost satisfaction which they had from the ease of work on this platform. It is also not difficult to find a dexterous professional for developing your online presence on this platform, since Joomla is known to have a huge community of developers and programmers around the world.
These developers have a clear understanding of the Joomla Development platform, which is an effective CMS (content management system).
Knowing the benefits that it provides:
Let us know of the benefits which this outstanding platform provides to the website owners and also to the developers.
It is easy to use and is powerful: A great combination indeed! It can be well said that the first reason to opt for this platform (also the reason for its popularity) is it’s easy to create menu feature. All the veterans of this platform or of other CMS platform will attest that Joomla has the most powerful menu and it is also easy to use, perhaps the easiest. They have claimed that anyone, which means even a person who lacks any understanding of developing and programming, can create the menus which will include a lot of items which will point to various locations both externally and internally.
It is open source: The infrastructure of Joomla is open source. Earlier the term “open source” was used for the experts who disliked Microsoft products for developing websites. And now, open source is a feature which is wanted very much in any developing platform. This software was created with the help of MySQL and PHP for the purpose of storing data. PHP, as we know, is an important web scripting and programming language which is open source as well, and even the social media giant, Facebook is powered by it. MySQL is also an equally powerful and a database which is open source. Thus a lot of developers prefer to use this platform and they also want to program the new extensions of Joomla.
It is safe, fast and can be easily edited: If you aren’t using a CMS platform and wish to edit a certain page on the site, then you will need to use FTP and download its file and also have the changes made and finally re-upload it. Now suppose the upload is cut-off? Or some other person is also trying to edit something on the same page? And if you aren’t a technical person who don’t know the use of FTP, what then? It seems that there are a lot of issues which can crop up with this. Thus, the preference is always for a CMS developed site which is totally hassle free.
The core can be changed easily: Yes, Joomla has a hack-able core. However, this means that the core of this platform is capable of being changed by anyone, just anyone. One only needs to be acquainted with PHP and the core code of this platform is always clear to the person, well documented and well written as well. It is at times essential to hack the core of Joomla for optimizing it, though it all comes at an expense (potentially).
