Preface

Joomla is an open source content management system (CMS) that anyone can download for free (see forge.joomla.org/sf/go/projects.joomla/frs). This makes it an ideal choice for small businesses. Don’t let the price tag fool you, though; Joomla is powerful and robust, and more big organizations are choosing to use open source software solutions all the time. Its universal appeal has made Joomla hugely popular as a CMS.

As Joomla matures, it is being adopted by more and more organizations, from corporations to schools and universities to government organizations to newspapers and magazines to small businesses. Its greatest advantage is its flexibility. You can see it on a huge variety of sites.
