Many now have heard of Joomla and are asking
the question, why use
Joomla
templates? Joomla makes use of the fast-rising content
management system for publishing websites or intranet sites for
internal use. The application is open source and written in PHP. It
uses MySQL database for storing information. Since it is open-source,
over 3800 add-ons and additional features are available for Joomla.
These plugins offer a range of applications not written into the core
code.
Deployment of Joomla template websites is easily done
on any server supporting PHP. Both free and paid templates exist,
with the paid templates using more advances functions and extensions.
Once bought, any number of websites can be posted to the internet
using different domain names. Different content can also be
implemented for each domain using the same or multiple templates.
Another benefit of the template is that they can be pre-customized
for search engine optimization. SEO is an important part of being
recognized on the internet. All that remains is to add the
appropriate content for a website that will be noticed by Google,
Yahoo!, and Bing by the keywords relevant to the purpose of the site.
Joomla began in 2005 by the non-profit organization Miro
International Pvt Ltd under the name Mambo. After it was discovered
that the organization was not following open source values, the
development team split off and quickly grew a huge following. The
name, Joomla, came about a few months later, derived from the Arabic,
meaning “all together.” In October 2009, Joomla came to be
recognized as the number one open source CRM in the world.
