Chapter 1. A New and Easy Way to Build Websites
You want to build a website. It should look great, it should be easy to use and maintain, and keeping it up-to-date should be effortless. Changing the appearance of your site should take minutes, not hours. You don't want to manage it all by yourself, but you want to enable other people to log in and write new content without having to understand HTML or other coding languages. Also, when your site grows, it should be easy to extend it with new functionality—maybe adding a forum, or a newsletter. If that's what you're looking for, welcome to Joomla!.
When it comes to creating a great, professional-looking website that's straightforward to use, you really can't beat the power of a content management system (CMS) such as Joomla. Without writing a single line of code, you can create any kind of site that boasts a variety of cool and advanced features.
