In fact, there are two highly effective software platforms, <span class=\"s2\">Joomla<\/span>\u00a0and <span class=\"s2\">Drupal<\/span>, that warrant great attention when considering a CMS for your website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With Joomla raking in over nearly\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cmsmart.net\/blog\/joomla-vs-wordpress-which-is-better.html\"><span class=\"s2\">50 million downloads<\/span><\/a> and Drupal housing more than 1,000,000 elite websites, these powerhouses are worth investing the time to see which platform will best serve your business and site goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Although each CMS provides the basic functions of adding, deleting, publishing, and storing various types of content, each tool has different strong points and weaknesses which should be explored prior to making your final decision.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The purpose here is to provide a comprehensive overview of <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Drupal vs Joomla <\/span><span class=\"s1\">to give you clarity for your next (or current) business website.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Joomla<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/apps\/joomla-hosting\">Joomla<\/a> is becoming an increasingly popular content management system. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Actually, after WordPress, it\u2019s considered the world\u2019s most accepted CMS, currently supporting over 3 million websites.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Joomla has the power of being extended to provide state of the art functionalities. It has been presented with the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.joomla.org\/Joomla!_Awards\"><span class=\"s2\">Packt Open Source Awards<\/span><\/a> multiple years in a row, making it highly credible to be used as a CMS for your web application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When it comes to complexity, Joomla places somewhere between simple WordPress and comprehensive and advanced Drupal.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Using Joomla<\/span> means that there may be a slight learning curve particularly for beginners, yet webmasters are usually very happy with the features it incorporates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are many advantages including better architecture as compared to other content management systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Advantages:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Simple to install<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Knowledge of CSS, PHP, or HTML is not required<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Manage users with various permission levels without switching tabs<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">E-commerce made easy<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Several thousands of free <a

community support<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Disadvantages:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Although simple to use, beginners may initially be intimidated by the multitude of functions and possibilities'\u00a6there is some learning involved<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Some of the plugins and modules are paid<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Limited adjustment options particularly for advanced users<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">May experience compatibility issues with some of the plugins, requiring some PHP knowledge to get the functions to work properly<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Limited access control list (ACL) support<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Challenge:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The structure may seem complicated and you may have to go through a learning curve before you master the layout system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Brands that Use Joomla:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span

systems and you&#8217;re looking for something more than WordPress, but you&#8217;re still intimidated by Drupal, Joomla might be a solid option.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span

website. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The beauty about Drupal is that it was designed especially for search engine optimization.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Placing high value in security, reliability, and flexibility, this CMS is indeed the cream of the crop.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Its large robust community is also highly responsive to inquiries and concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This CMS is definitely <b>for the advanced<\/b> with developer expertise'\u00a6<b>it is not<\/b> for all users like Joomla.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Installing Drupal for your next project will require an experienced web developer on staff (or a contracted one).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Using Drupal<\/span> is indeed a great choice with the ability to create amazing looking sites. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span

class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Drupal is an advanced CMS system offering plenty of functions that make it possible to create simple or advanced websites, blogs, discussion boards, social networking pages, etc. However, it does require experienced knowledge of PHP and HTML languages as well as CSS.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>For those with at least basic knowledge of these languages, there&#8217;s a very good technical support to guide them through the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">How to Choose the BEST CMS for Your Business<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Being clear on your business goals, objectives, and intentions is the first step towards selecting a CMS that is optimal for your business.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This clarity will guide you as to what type of website is congruent to your needs while better serving your unique target audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Joomla is also a good option for small to mid-tier e-commerce stores or for building a community or a network with a membership features, newsroom, forums, articles, input from external authors. If you want something more powerful for large projects in which stability, scalability, and power are essential, or for more enterprise use, then consider Drupal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Choosing the right CMS for your project will save you a great deal of headaches later.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 A reliable web host also saves you from headaches.
