The UN recently implemented a Joomla installation at UNRIC.org. Dennis Kucinich's presidential campaign website utilized Joomla with a few. From small business and Fortune 100 companies to municipalities, government sites and non-profts, Joomla provides an affordable, powerful, efficient and effective website solution.
Joomla provides companies and organizations of all sizes the ability to have multiple users to contribute content to a website creating a dynamic user experience. Joomla gives the webmaster the ability to engage in rapid content creation. There is a simple Admin area to organize all of that content.
As a webmaster, the admin area is where you really get your hands dirty and learn Joomla.
What JOOMLA isn't.
Joomla uses a database to store its content and page assets, like images and text. It does not create webpages that can be edited in Dreamweaver or any other HTML editor. You can however edit the HTML contained in the BODY of a Joomla webpage and the content inside a "custom module" using Dreamweaver or another HTML editor. Doing so allows for building complex page layouts that go beyond the professionally designed Joomla templates. This is also a simple way to add any FLASH elements, custom HTML, PHP, Javascript or any other custom code.
Additionally, there are some online Joomla video training sites that teach you step-by-step how to use Joomla.
The Joomla learning curve.
For those who are just starting out as webmasters or building web sites using Joomla, the learning curve can be steep. It's important to be patient with yourself, read the help forums at Joomla.org and also join the online community of Joomla users. There are over 1 million Joomla users online that are willing to help out if asked. There is no shortage of help.
Take the time to learn Joomla. It will make your web building easier and more enjoyable as you progress and maybe turn a hobby into a profession.
