Updating a website - Content Management Systems

Using a Content Management System (CMS) means that you don't have to learn web design or programming to quickly and efficiently keep your site up to date. If you can type or copy and paste then you can use a CMS.

elixa website design uses and recommends an Open Source CMS called Joomla!.

If you're new to web publishing systems, you'll find that Joomla! delivers sophisticated solutions to your online needs. It can deliver a robust enterprise-level website, empowered by endless extensibility for your bespoke publishing needs. Moreover, it is often the system of choice for small business or home users who want a professional looking site that's simple to deploy and use. We do content right.

So what's the catch? How much does this system cost? Well, there's good news ... and more good news! Joomla! 1.5 is free released under an Open Source license.

Had you invested in a commercial alternative, there'd be nothing but moths left in your wallet.

Joomla! is set to change all that ... Joomla! is different from the normal models for content management software. For a start, it's not complicated. Joomla! has been developed for everybody. It's licensed under the GNU/GPL license, easy to install and administer and reliable. Joomla! doesn't even require the user or administrator of the system to know HTML to operate it once it's up and running.

 

Joomla! is:

1) more affordable (free!)

2) quicker to set up and get going

3) more flexible - you can add functionality to your site by just uploading new components.

e.g. Newsletters, Photo Galleries, Shopping Carts, etc
