Publisher's description

Similarly to the Firefox browser, the core system can be extended via installable add-ons authored by the developer community.

Version: Joomla 1.5.11
"Not impressed with this at all."
Pros: None that I can think of. Even if a program is free, if it isn't user friendly then why use it?
Cons: The website hasn't been updated in I would dare say years.
Summary: They should pay me for wasting my time to download it.

Version: Joomla 1.5.11
"For excellent and secure CMS, Joomla is top notch."
Pros: Joomla is powerful, flexible, extensible, and tidy. It has extensive community support for add-ons, superb support forums, and frequent updates to ensure the best security and stability. By far one of the best CMS solutions out there.
Cons: Joomla is not for the faint of heart or the novice. While it rewards patient people with a flexible and future-friendly CMS solution, there is a learning curve involved. Joomla is not an out-of-the-box fix for any situation - some assembly required.
Summary: Joomla is definitely one of the best content management software packages out there. It sports a user friendly interface, tonnes of community supported plug-ins and modules, (both free and commercial), and frequent updates as well as great support ... read more >>

Version: Joomla 1.5.11
"An amazing piece of software"
Pros: Ease of use & Flexibility. 4000+ extensions allow a joomla site to become just about anything. A large range of companies also sell advanced, ready to go templates.
Cons: Flexibility has a tradeoff with simplicity. If sticking with an off-the-shelf template & basic structure, it's very easy, but to customise a template definitely requires coding skills, and a bit of RTFM to get familiar with basic concepts.
Summary: Joomla hits the sweet spot between ease of use, robustness and flexibility.
For a simple, idiot proof CMS > Wordpress
For a secure, scalable, robust, large scale CMS for techies > Drupal.
For the best mix of the two > J... read more >> -

Version: Joomla 1.5.11
"Frustrating, frustrating... Way too complex for me!"
Pros: It's free. Did not cost me a cent. I got what I paid for.
Cons: This is way too complicated. Someone needs to make this as easy as an IPhone. Make it as easy as Constant Contact, and I will be happy. Holy Cow, the mumbo jumbo these people use. Simple and intuitive it is NOT.
Summary: An expert installed this Joomla thing for me so I could edit my website. Well, I decided I was going to do it. I managed to load a picture. Then I tried to change a templates. Now my site is down. All I did is changed a HTML function which I th... read more >>

Version: Joomla 1.5.11
"Does not measure up to all the hype!"
Pros: it's free, but beyond that it is useless if you want to offer it as a content management system.
Cons: I don't like anything about Joomla. It's basically just wasting space on my computer.
Summary: I don't like anything about Joomla. Freeware is useless if you have to go to school to learn to use it or become a full time trainer to teach clients to use it. Very time consuming and difficult to install, then very complicated to actually use it... read more >>
