Thread: Have you tried Joomla?

Have you guys tried Joomla? I have used Wordpress extensively in the past but I wanted to try out Joomla.

So far I really like Joomla. Unlike Wordpress, it is a full blown CMS. You can customize it in every way you want and you can do a fair bit of SEO too.

I suggest anyone looking to make a large website use Joomla.

Once or twice. For the most part, Joomla is 100% kick-ass! It's free and open source, it's easy to understand, very customizable, and supports a wide range of code. Not to mention it has a lot of great free add-ons if you're not looking to spend a lot of money.

I am a big of Joomla. Actually I started using its "earlier" version called Mambo. It is such a powerful CMS script. It is not difficult to learn but it takes a higher learning curve compared to Wordpress.

I did some coding for somone running a Joomla based site a while back, was very hard to put in custom code for their site / alter the database.

my friend which have join on membership jommla template said that joomla very help full and his job [website design] be more fast rather than use wordpress.. is it right??
honestly, i still blank about joomla.. and interest to use this cms if itis really more useful than wp..

I have not, only used Wordpress. How is it? Easy to integrate designs?

yes i have tried joomla but is very difficult to use and i prefer word press than joomla as it is fast and realiable and easy to use.

I worked on Joomla every time and always got stuck at some procedure than i could see best alternative named Wordpress. Therefore i have used Joomla but for not much time. Just some hours or days and Pressed "Delete" to Joomla but what i see is Joomla is complete CMS and far better than Wordpress but bit not user friendly

Im a huge fan of Wordpress. I have migrated any sites that were running on Joomla. There is way to much uneeded overhead for most websites.

No, not really, although I know many people who have used it and still use it. I heard it's as good as Wordpress.
