Joomla! Use this powerful software to create your web site
Joomla? This word has been doing the conversations rounds of late. Joomla is an open source solution which will help you to create your own website. You no longer have to run around to web designing professionals who are not only exorbitant but who are not accessible, whenever you need them. So, Joomla the free software to help you build your dream website was born when a group of like-minded people began to create templates and modules that others could use as extensions when they were building their own websites.
With the widening scope of the Joomla software, a streamlined content management system or CMS was born, enabling online applications and websites to be built. One of the earliest users of this software is the Harvard University.
Joomla has freely available extensions that will become a part of the application to further the use of the software. The extensions contain components, modules and plug-ins, language packs and templates. Examples are plenty like the Mighty commerce for an e-commerce site. Joomla provides advanced features of batching of pages, to improve output and it even allows RSS feeds to be published as well as the print format to be available. Blogs, searching of websites, language systemization can all be performed by using Joomla.
Joomla is created in the PHP language and its database is MySQL. Joomla power lies in its empowering the beginner or a pro to create and run a website and manage its content. It uses a series of templates written in HTML, PHP, XML and standard image files much like the lines drawn in student books to guide them while writing. These templates are available free on the net. You only need to download and customize it to your specifications. These templates are so powerful and comprehensive that managing and maintaining any dynamic website is now easy.
The templates provide all the menus, style, color, text size as soon as the text is inserted into the template. The webpage comes alive even as you click away at a button. An addition is the editing option of the CSS or cascading style sheet and the HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language files. The CSS can be edited to change the look of the web pages and the HTML will help you write the content or the text part of the webpage.
Next, the graphics are generally maintained as separate file with link tags from the HTML files. So, by merely changing the link, the images icon that you want to display can be added to the webpage. Another major use of templates is that you can use them to rebuild existing websites or start from scratch and start new websites without once again running behind expensive web designers. Audio, video and additional pages can be inserted including text, menus and drop-down lists. Using Flash application, the color, images and other attributes can be changed without affecting the content.
