O que é Joomla?

Joomla é um premiado sistema de gerenciamento de conteúdo (CMS), que te possibilita criar websites e poderosos aplicativos online. Muitos aspectos, incluindo sua facilidade de utilização e extensibilidade, têm tornado Joomla o mais popular software para websites disponível. O melhor de tudo, Joomla é uma solução código aberto disponível gratuitamente a todos.

O que é um sistema de gerenciamento de conteúdo (CMS)?

Um sistema de gerenciamento de conteúdo é um software que mantém todo o conteúdo de seu website, da mesma maneira que sua biblioteca pública local mantém livros e os armazena. Conteúdo pode ser simples texto, fotos, música, vídeos, documentos, ou qualquer outra coisa que você possa imaginar. Um grande vantagem em se utilizar um CMS é que ele exige quase nenhuma habilidade técnica ou conhecimento para ser gerenciado. Como o CMS gerencia todo o seu conteúdo, você não tem que fazê-lo.
