This used to be the go-to CMS a few years ago, and it is very well supplied with themes and plugins and stuff. But nowadays there are better CMS out there that are more intuitive to use and just do a plain better job overall. It does a lot, but nothing really good. Also not very easy to create templates for. I suggest trying out Contao instead.

A brilliant CMS. Open-source, not too step a learning curve with the interface but the best point is Joomla is highly extensible, there are literally hundreds of easy to incorporate "plugins" for just about anything you may want on your site. I would highly recommend Joomla to anyone making a site.

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.

Started using Joomla instead of WordPress this year. Surprised by how much more it has versus WordPress. Joomla is a real CMS while WordPress is still mainly for blogs (no matter what they claim).

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.
