Content Management Systems - Joomla


Web designers today have a multitude of options to create a working website. one of the main benefits of a CMS or Content Management System is that once built - the site can be easily edited by the client [similar to InContext Editing]. This is very common today with web site design but.. designers don't tend to have that much control over site construction via a CMS system.

A CMS is more the domain of coders and developers and uses templates to create pages. To add your own bespoke design [like the sites you've created in Dreamweaver] it gets complicated though - ideally you'll need quite a lot of experience with languages like PHP and databases..

See more details [here] on the Joomla site. There's also videos on Joomla setup and use online via YouTube.
