Comments and Reviews
Joomla is a true CMS that can handle any kind of website project.
I do think is better than wordpress but I still don't think this is meant to work with large websites. The amount of themes and plugins are good but it's not as easy as you would expect. Maintaining a large site could be quite complex.
I'm running my own large sites with Joomla. I don't find it is any harder for large sites than WordPress is/ was. The only issue I have with both Joomla and WordPress and likely every other CMS on a database is not being able to re-use post ID#s. I mind the gaps, even though it is kind of silly and I'm the only one who sees them really.
After I did the following installation, I read about
Softaculous .. which may make set up of numerous Web Building sites much easier.. You might want to try it first.
How to Install Joomla on Windows 10: https://ultahost.com/knowledge-base/install-joomla-windows recommend XAMP which include PHP MySQL etc. How to Install XAMPP: https://ultahost.com/knowledge-base/install-xampp-windows/ With XAMPP, you can run Joomla on your local machine, develop your website, and then deploy it to a live server when you’re ready.
I started using Joomla after having my sites on WordPress for years. Its similar to WP in many ways but enough different that I prefer Joomla. I've found good help and a good community with Joomla. Don't try to learn by using example sites as most of the books do. That makes it really confusing. Just start using the software, adding some posts and read about how the backend works. Core Joomla has everything you need to get started so don't start looking at plugins thinking you will need those right away. Good luck!
easy, simple and easy to customize but for a larger webiste and with that, more content, it gets really difficult to maintain. Not what I wanted.
I think the problem with this open source cms is that it is easy to create your website and play around as pleased but when your website gets bigger and reaches a larger audience and you start to actually make money from it, it becomes quite hard to keep up with the updates and changes.
so I tried this one before and was pleased with the amount of plugins you can easily use but in long term, it didn't work for me. Maintaining it is quite complex and specially if you have somebody else doing the job after.
