8 Aug, 2009  Joomla Template Design

I am looking for a good CMS and upon research, I have found Joomla. I have a few questions:

How easy is it to use and install for beginners?
Is it possible to use your own designs (upload your own css)?
Is it flexible enough to allow me to edit the pages myself?
Is it as secure as it claims to be?

Thanks for all input.

Hi friend,

I welcome your interest in joomla.I’m a Joomla CMS developer and contributor.It is very easy to install if you carefully follow the installation process, it is just like installing a php script on host machine.

Joomla outputs the web page design on the template system, for developing the template you should have knowledge about local variables in joomla.Don’t worry there are lots of website over internet providing free Joomla Template. You can also get developed Joomla template from some coder from small amount of fee.

Joomla has a flexible architecture and yes you can edit the templates yourself from the admin panel.

Joomla however is compiled with extreme security, but if you are processing the secure transaction over it then you must enable SSL (secure socket layer) on your hosting environment.

If you have any further questions about setting up joomla you can ask me.

Good Luck !

    I have played about with Joomla and found it very easy to use.
    It is very simple to install easy to edit and personalise.
    I don’t personally know about the security but I haven’t been able to find to many people complaining about it.
    Another good one to try is Wordpress.

    it is very simple and straghtforward to use. it is a little mordifficult to install, but you should be able to do it easyliy. you can change html and css as you wish. you would be abke to easly edt the pages. when you take a few small security measures, joomla is safer than a hand programed website.
