What is Joomla Content Management?

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.

A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to.

Joomla is used all over the world to power Web sites of all shapes and sizes. For example:

• Corporate Web sites or portals
• Corporate intranets and extranets
• Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
• E-commerce and online reservations
• Government applications
• Small business Web sites
• Non-profit and organizational Web sites
• Community-based portals
• School and church Web sites
• Personal or family homepages

Here are just a few examples of Web sites that use Joomla:

• United Nations (Governmental organization) - http://www.unric.org
• MTV Networks Quizilla (Social networking) - http://www.quizilla.com
• L.A. Weekly (Online publication) - http://www.laweekly.com
• IHOP (Restaurant chain) - http://www.ihop.com
• Harvard University (Educational) - http://gsas.harvard.edu
• Citibank (Financial institution intranet) - Not publicly accessible
• The Green Maven (Eco-resources) - http://www.greenmaven.com
• Outdoor Photographer (Magazine) - http://www.outdoorphotographer.com
• PlayShakespeare.com (Cultural) - http://www.playshakespeare.com
• Senso Interiors (Furniture design) - http://www.sensointeriors.co.za

More examples of companies using Joomla can be found in the Joomla Site Showcase Forum.

Today's web consumer has high expectations. They don't just want a site that looks professional, but they want it dynamic and frequently updated. They want interactive features like polls, detailed search capabilities, uploading features, response comments, forums, blogs and live sales or customer service chat features.

But these sophisticated features are too expensive and require too much effort to maintain and use.

How is it possible to provide all these at a price that doesn't break the bank?

• Professional web designers are expensive; you can expect to pay $1000-$3000 for a simple site.
• Maybe you know a friend who is "good with computers". They help you out but the result doesn't look so great.
• Maybe you try an "instant website" product like homestead.com. Trouble is the designs are poor quality and your site ends up not looking so good again.
• Maybe you have some tech expertise and try and build your own site with open source software. You end up sinking hours into the project and can't get help when you need it.

We think the hosting and web design industries are broken so we decided to work on a Joomla platform because they are providing the best solution.

We are a team of web designers, programmers and marketers that have worked with many clients to help them get on the web with Joomla.All of them are thoroughly happy and satisfied. They now have the power to manage their own site if need be.

With Global Presence, we can create a professional looking site in the time it takes you to drink a cup of coffee.J/k! When we mean professional, we mean it, no flaky websites. Your website can look like it cost thousands for less than the price of drinking a cup of coffee every day!
