Why Joomla Is Still a Smart Choice for Business Websites
• By Opolis Marketing, Houston, TXJoomla is a free, open-source content management system (CMS) that was first released in 2005. People use it to build everything from small business sites to large portals. If you are choosing a platform for your next website, here is what Joomla does well.
Flexible content for growing sites
Joomla organizes content into categories and lets you create different kinds of pages, so it copes well when a site grows from five pages to fifty: services, locations, articles, team pages and more.
Multilingual support built in
Joomla includes multilingual support in its core. For a Houston business that serves both English and Spanish speakers, that makes a bilingual website much easier to manage.
Detailed user permissions
You can decide who can write, edit, publish or administer content. That matters when more than one person works on your site.
A good base for SEO
Joomla supports clean URLs, page titles, meta descriptions and structured headings. None of that works by itself, though: it has to be set up properly, which is part of what a good Joomla developer does.
Keep it updated
Any website platform needs maintenance. Joomla 3 reached end of life in August 2023, so older sites should be moved to a currently supported Joomla version, along with their extensions and PHP.
Is Joomla right for you?
It depends on your goals, your budget and who will manage the site. If you want to talk it through, see our Joomla web design in Houston page or our general web design service, or call or text 832-315-4932.
