Joomla

Joomla is a content management system (CMS) that gives you full control of the site’s content. Whether you need a corporate website, a personal blog or an online community… Firefly Multimedia can custom build your website using Joomla, including a custom theme and all the features you need (calendars, forms, newsletters, galleries,etc.)

5 reasons
why Joomla
totally rocks:

1. Long lasting/stability:
   It’s been around the block and has had the ability to stand the test of time. Mambo as its parent and predecessor JOOMLA was released as a more stable version with even more functions.
2. Community:
   If you’re looking to build a private community from hundreds to even thousands of users than JOOMLA could be just what you are looking for. It is basically known for it’s ease of use, and has a ton of bridges and components built specifically for communities. Including but not limited to:
   -Account Expiration Control: Which allows you to offer paid memberships for your Joomla website!
   -Private Messages and private community email: Users can communicate through private messages and also send files attached to it. Users can be notified by mail about new PMs and control their inbox, sent and trash, save drafts, manage their own contact lists and configuration.
3. Sleek Interface - Flexible Layout:
   Since it has been around awhile there are tons (almost literally) of templates, modules, components + mambots, (or for those who don’t speak the language these are also known as PLUG-IN’s), available for JOOMLA. You name it they have it: everything to a Shopping Carts, Forums, Full Event Calendars, generate or read RSS feeds into your site, newsletters, and some of the best choices of galleries in the business. Practically everything you need for a more than upscale content management system is here and readily available.
4. Frontend update on Content Management:
   Easy for the manager or admin of the website to just log in and directly edit the site from your browser. Easily add new pages/articles and these pages will automatically be added to all navigation. The built in wysiwyg editor has practically everything and more that your regular blog editor would have. If you want more than one person to be able to edit the site you can give logins to other people, and set permissions as to whether they can post new content or just submit it for review by you. If you’re looking for something easy, and familiar, with multiple capabilities then this would be the way to go. No backend logins are necessary.
5. User Contribution:
   One amazing feature that other content management systems lack is the ability to allow website visitors to contribute to the site. After users go through the sign up process everyone can submit links or even articles. The admin can then approve only the material that he deems necessary.
