Joomla & Nestoras College

I have found JOOMLA to be an excellent Content Management System (CMS) in developing business related websites, one thats adapts well to educational applications incorporating VLE elements.  Joomla is an OPEN SOURCE initiative allowing designers to build websites through adding content and functionality upon the basic structure provided by the Joomla CMS framework.  Close to 5000 Joomla EXTENSIONS offer a wide range of configurable functionality that can be  integrated with the Joomla CMS, most of which are free of charge!  Another great aspect of Joomla is that it allows non technical users (such as teachers) to add and change content without having to write a single line of code!

A popular Open Source alternative to Joomla is Drupal.

Using Joomla, I recently created a website for a local not for profit educational organisation called Nestoras College – Check it out!
