Building a multilingual website is super easy as everything you need is included - nothing extra to install and configure. > > **Cons**: Some people try to make it work like other CMS instead of harnessing the native power of Joomla. This can make it slow and difficult to use. > > There has never been anything I've been asked to create on a Joomla website that I haven't been able to achieve. Nothing has come close to it for speed and ease in creating a prototype site that just needs the client to supply the content. ----- ### "Learning Curve" — 4.0/5 > **Robert** | *30 August 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything one would need in a neatly organized package. No need for any additional "plug-ins" needed from other 3rd party > > **Cons**: It is a steep learning curve. We used it for 5 years, but being open source, updates required a complete re-write of the website. > > I personally enjoyed it but found other open-source software easier to update, although with less bells and whistles. ----- ### "Old but strong. A basic of development." — 3.0/5 > **Joseph** | *11 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Joomla is basically the original block building cms > > **Cons**: It is outdated and not very supported in general. > > It was a great starting place from which to evolve to better options. ----- ### "Joomla still a vital CMS in 2021" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 October 2021* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Joomla is still a vital Open Source CMS for building websites. The ease of use and MVC model is still far superior than the other CMS's. The true power of Joomla is what you can do with the core product without needed 3rd party plugins or products. > > **Cons**: There is a lot to say about the cons, from beginner ease of use, to backward compatibility issues, and the overall advancement of the code and services. > > Joomla is a great Open Source project that will continue to give it's users a voice on the internet. ----- ### "Website development with joomla is a breeze" — 5.0/5 > **Kwabena** | *8 April 2023* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Joomla makes it easy to manage website. With little knowledge in web developing, you can get it up and running in no time > > **Cons**: For non-technical people, there is a learning curve. But the extensive documentation from the website reduces the stress in managing content with it. > > My overall experience with Joomla has been good. Till date I manage about dozens of websites developed with Joomla. ----- Page: 1 / 26\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/10238/joomla?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/10238/joomla) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
