Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros The new interface is a breeze to use. It now has a web services API, best in class for accessibility. Scores very high with lighthouse out of the box. Intuitive, fast and with the new workflows capability its a dream to use at any level. All the bits that that were missing for me have just been filled in with the release of 4. Media manager was improved. Security was always good but now has many extra features not seen with other CMS. We use Joomla to build our websites and web applications because of its incredible intuitiveness and tools to make everything more manageable. Its working environment is quite comfortable for my development team, and its web design resources significantly speed up our work when carrying out web development projects. I like the software to be of great use in entrenching leadership and building planned websites. The web traffic increased remarkably since the process has been done to expose a massive series of programming codes. The support of the program is highly excellent. Free and open source Supports OOP languages Good security features Lots of free templates Mobile friendly websites Web development is very easy and no technical knowledge required to set up. It comes with lots of extensions. Web security extensions are very powerful. Customer support is responsive. Cons It wont make tea. For a free product thats used on 3% of the entire web theres little to fault it. The media manager was the problem but is much better in 4. Its interface is a little complicated to understand; it is not as friendly as other tools and text editors to develop web pages. I don't particularly appreciate that the interface is a bit cumbersome to understand. However, the software has great guides. Experience is not as user friendly as Wordpress - steeper learning curve. Poor SEO when compared to Wordpress. Overall it's an outstanding Content Management System tool.		Pros from Real Users Pros They did a great job resolving my issue within just a few minutes. Really appreciate the quick support! Great prices, great service, and quick responses from technical support. There are no hidden fees in their plans.

It's fast, has great tools, but the best thing is their support. They always provide prompt and thorough guidance and usually have the right answer when I need help.
