Joomla! is a popular content management system (CMS) that allows you to easily create great-looking websites and online applications. Like many open-source applications, Joomla! is completely free to use.
The core platform offers a host of fabulous publishing features and is fully extensible, meaning that third-party developers can create plugins (or extensions, as they’re known in the Joomla! world) that equip the software with new functionality.
With over 81 million downloads, and inherent flexibility, Joomla! powers a healthy chunk of the web. Real world applications include corporate websites and intranets, online publications, ecommerce stores, small business sites, personal blogs and more. Take a look at the Joomla! Showcase to see what major brands and community web developers have built on the platform.
