Open Source Licence according to Wikipedia is defined  “An open source license is a copyright license for computer software that makes the source code available for everyone to use. This allows end users to review and modify the source code for their own customization and/or troubleshooting needs. Open source licenses are also commonly free, allowing for modification, redistribution, and commercial use without having to pay the original author.”.
This thought process has given us as web designers and web developers the ability to give all small businesses a
Completely dynamic and functional web site with a
customized look. Gone are the days of the cookie cutter web sites and overpriced functionality. You  and your busines can benefit from a web site that can cover just about every one of your web site needs.

Joomla has become one of the greatest open source projects for small businesses and web developers today. By creating powerful content management systems with a large list of features, right out of the box. We could never cover all of the features of Joomla in one article, but we can cover the main features and what each of them does.

User Manager

Joomla has a registration system that works on multiple levels so that your web site can allow multiple administrators. Each administrator can access the web content and make changes to text and images, while giving you the owner a way to see who did what and on what day.
One of the most valuable marketing tools your business could have is a collection of prospective clients, current clients and post clients. By providing “everybody” that visits your web site a place to register for free hidden content, and company newsletters.

Media Manager

The media manager tool helps you to easily upload and manage images used within your stories. There is also an easy to use integration tool that a lets you upload and easily insert images into your stories with the insert button.  This allows you to grab your images at any time.


Banner Manager

Consider promoting the content and products of your affiliates or even creating banners on your own site that can promote other parts of your web site. You can create a user friendly set of banners that links to certain pages within your own site and keep track of the traffic from these banners inside the back admin, giving yourself a way to determine what is popular and what is not.

Contact Manager

Easily create company contact lists of all your employees - including the option to offer downloaded Vcards for each of your employees. This gives your customers an easy to use online rolodex and all of the relevant contacts they may need.

Polls

Getting opinions from your customer could be the easiest way to start communication between you and the users that visit your site.


Search Navigation

This handy little tool not only lets every body search your web site, making it user friendly, but it tracks the search results inside your back end admin.

Web Link Management

It has long been believed that one of the greatest ways to get noticed by search engines is to share web links with other relevant web sties. Joomla gives you an easy way to post and track these links on your web site and sort them by categories.

Content Management
