What is Joomla!
• Joomla! is an award-winning Content Management System (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla! the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla! is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.

What's a content management system
(CMS)? • A content management system is software that keeps
track of every piece of content on your Web site, much
like your local public library keeps track of books and
stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music,
video, documents, or just about anything you can think
of.
• A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires
almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since
the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to.
