I’m looking for anything interesting.
Arthur, joomla is for the rest of us who can customise through choosing from hundrets of products. Why do I have to learn the code man ? I was going to if I had the time and the money but I don’t.
As for dreamweaver ect… can that handle databases like joomla ? I doubt it.
Are you working for microsoft or something ?
None. Joomla isn’t a quality CMS framework. It is, however, a popular framework and the two can often be confused. Joomla is a triumph of brute-force programming (i.e. lots of open-source contributors and lots and LOTS of code) making an uninspired original design do a lot of moderately useful work. It does not produce W3Compliant code. It does accessibility poorly. It is overdue for a major (i.e. thow the baby out) revision. Typo3 is a better CMS framework but is very hard to learn and is still not elegant or simple. More brute force. There are more than 550 CMS frameworks around and we still await a good open-source CMS. Mostly, you’d do your clients and yourself a favour by using and recommending the Dreamweaver/Contribute solution instead.
