About Joomla!
Joomla! is a free, open-source content management system for building and managing websites and online applications. Built and maintained entirely by volunteers since 2005, it offers multilingual publishing, flexible design with thousands of extensions and templates, multi-user permission levels, and search-engine-friendly output. Site owners, agencies, and community organizations use it for everything from personal pages and company sites to portals that need structured content and controlled editorial access.
