Make your website more functional with Joomla Extensions

Joomla is one of the most powerful CMS (Content Management System) platforms on the internet. It is used by millions of high profile websites including government portals and mission critical web applications. It is free and open source, which means no licensing troubles. Above all, Joomla can be customized endlessly to product a website that works and functions exactly as you want.

Joomla Extensions

One of the most useful features of Joomla as a platform for deploying websites is that you can add as many features as you want by using Joomla extentions. You can choose from the thousands of extensions that are already available from the official website to see what you want. Some examples include:

•    SEO
•    Shopping cart
•    Themes
•    JavaScript features
•    Date and time components

There are endless variations in each category of extensions to serve the features you need. Some extensions come along your default Joomla installations. Others are available either for free or for a small fee. Usually, the free versions have enough functionality for a great website. However, paid extensions have more advanced features.

Joomla Components

Joomla is very modular in nature. It is built out of separate components that work seamlessly with each other. In contrast to extensions, components add whole new applications to your website. The default installation has some core components that are needed to get your website up and running.

Again, you can find additional components on the official website with both free and paid versions. Some of the things that you can add with components include:

•    Blogs
•    Email marketing software
•    Databases
•    Client management
•    Forums and communities
•    Image galleries
•    Subscription management

If you do not find the components with features that you want, you can develop our own with first class services like Fast Conversion. In fact, many businesses choose Joomla precisely because of this ability to create your own components to meet your business needs.

Joomla Templates

With Joomla, you can make your website look any way you want. You can find thousands of templates for this CMS on both the official website and other sources on the internet. Most likely, you will want to develop your own theme and design, and integrate it into your Joomla installation.

Some of the best features of Joomla, as far as template customization is concerned, are:

•    You do not need to overhaul your website to change themes.
•    You do not need to redo the whole design in order to move elements.
•    You can make these changes on the fly without any downtime and just a refresh.
