Clunky and outdated platform

What do you like best? The basics of Joomla editing are pretty easy, even for someone without much HTML or programming experience. What do you dislike?

A Good CMS For If You Know Some HTML

What do you like best? Easy to use with a lot of customization. Joomla is very easy to use once you get the hang of it, but it can take a few days to get used to using it. Once you know where everything is and how it works it really is relatively simply to navigate and understand. What do you dislike? Joomla may have too many features for some users. There is so much customization and so many options available in the base installation of Joomla it can be difficult to understand it all. I ...

No my preferred website backend.

What do you like best? Joomla has a lot of plugins and templates available. Since it is open-source, anyone can develop anything they need to help enhance the front end user experience or the functionality of the backend. The Joomla learning curve is not very steep and there is a lot of support available for assistance. For someone who doesn't know much in the way of code, Joomla is a handy tool to build powerful websites with lots of add-ons, though. What do you dislike? Joomla can be ...
