A lot of people are already appreciating the versatility of using Content Management System or commonly called as CMS in creating websites
. Who wouldn't? CMS are perfect when you're handling with a lot of data since just like what CMS stands it manages the content that you put into your website. But the question still lies on what CMS you should use.
Honestly, there are a lot of CMS available all over the net, there are some that you could purchase and there are some that come for free which are of course more preferable. And with the dichotomy of licensed and the open sourced ones comes a larger dichotomy of both. Of course, we're more into the free one so we'll discuss more about them. Open source CMS comes in different names but one of the most popular name today in open source CMS is Joomla. So why are more and more people preferring Joomla compared to other CMS available? We'll discuss some of the answers briefly below.
Because of the open sourced nature of Joomla, it's pretty open for everyone to edit its source code. So if you're talented in programming then you wouldn't have to worry about lawsuits for borrowing and editing source codes because you're pretty much free to edit it, to the point that you could change themes through the help of psd to Joomla coders.. Aside from that, for the less tech savvy ones, the whole idea of it being easier to update spells great because this eliminates the need for hiring a professional to edit the contents once the whole platform is installed and modified in the server. Optimistically speaking once the whole thing is completely setup, you'll only need a professional on big problems like crashing or what not.
