You may have heard of the name Joomla, but you may have no idea what it is – our infographic will enlighten you and provide insight into this superb content management system!

Initially created in 2005, Joomla is one of the oldest forms of CMS and is completely free to use.

This content management system is currently responsible for powering over 6% of CMS websites and has an impressive database of over 2 million individual sites. Its popularity can be confirmed by the leaders of the web hosting industry. The likes of SiteGround, Bluehost and Hostgator offer long-term deals for Joomla, train their support staff extensively and generally try to accommodate the platform in the best possible way. The popularity of Joomla is mainly attributed to users in the United States, the UK and Germany.

The Joomla CMS is highly flexible, as you can use this system to create a fully functioning website of any size or type. Although the core Joomla installation allows you to create a superb website within a matter of minutes, the power of this platform lies in its extensions and plugins.

When using Joomla, you can use a range of different extensions that enhance the functionality of your website and add some cool features to it. Examples of popular extensions include BreezingForms, Acy Mailing, JEvents, Google Maps and Akeeba Backup. These plugins are easy to use, and can improve the management aspects of your site, together with improving your customer’s experience.

Many well-known companies use the Joomla framework due to its ease of use and customizability including eBay (for internal CMS), Yamaha, Linux, MTV and Holiday Inn. Furthermore, the platform has an extensive community with a huge array of developers creating new plugins and extensions.

The project is headed by seven different departments and actually employs over 350 volunteers – developers also contribute to source code creation. If you are looking for a stable CMS platform that has great support, Joomla is certainly a solid choice!
