COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, December 31, 2011 /Internet PR News/ -- Joomla has just won the Packt Open Source Award for the best open source content management system on the internet for 2011, according to a press release on http://www.marketwatch.com/story/joomla-named-top-open-source-content ... 2011-11-15. This is the third time Joomla has won the award since 2006, and it is easy to see why! Joomla is the most widely used Content Management System (CMS) on the internet.
To date, Joomla has had over 26 million downloads and powers more than 1.5 million websites with more Joomla websites coming online every day. Over 2,900 government websites use the Joomla platform!
The Joomla content management system was first released around 2005, and quickly propelled itself into the spotlight with its robust content management system, multiple template options, and easy to use and understand back end. It is great for:
• informative websites
• blogs
• social websites
• online stores
• intranets
Yep, Joomla can even be used as the basis for an intranet within a company! It is easy to understand why so many websites choose to use the Joomla CMS.
With Joomla's newest releases, Joomla 1.6 and Joomla 1.7, Joomla CMS has never been more popular among website owners, small businesses, and website design and development companies. The biggest plus to Joomla is that it is free! That means there is no added cost to load it into a web hosting account. Joomla is open-source and free, this helps reduce the cost of custom website design.
Joomla can also run on both Linux and Windows, which one of the reasons why Q2 Interactive Media uses it as its primary CMS for their web design services and own website. Joomla's content management system is very versatile with its system of sections, categories, and articles. Joomla's easy to use back-end makes adding, editing, updating, and moving articles extremely fast and simple - another primary reason why Q2 Interactive Media prefers Joomla for their clients.
Joomla even has an integrated user management system. Where website admins can go in and visually check and manage all the users. It is great for deleting old or incomplete accounts or users that have never logged into the site or confirmed their email addresses. It is also simple to give users new privileges. With a few clicks, menus can be hidden or revealed according to the user's privileges.
What is even more impressive about a Joomla based website design is that no two websites need to look the same. There are thousands of premade templates for Joomla, and a great many of them are free. Not to mention every header, footer and image can be changed including the very top icon of the webpage tab, and if that doesn't meet the client's needs, custom designs can be created using Joomla in order to meet the specific needs of each client.
Add to Joomla the fact that there are thousands of add-on programs that can be downloaded including: calendars, RSS feeds, forums, chat rooms, and guest books which can be seamlessly inserted into Joomla, every Joomla based website design can have different functions, programs and features.
It is all these reasons and more that made the Joomla content management system an obvious 2011 Packt Open Source Award winner and the first choice in website design by Q2 Interactive Media.
