What is a WebPolitechs Joomla Campaign Website?

Joomla is an award-winning Open Source (free) Content Management System (CMS) used exclusively by WebPolitechs. CMS means it’s an application that allows you to manage and edit the content of your website through a login in the back end admin.

WebPolitechs designs and develops ALL sites using the Joomla framework.

Why Does WebPolitechs Use Joomla?

Probably the biggest advantage to using Joomla is the ease in updating a campaign site. Campaigns are no longer at the mercy of their webmasters schedule and don’t have to pay each time they need something changed. Add pages, menu items, articles, components, a store – basically whatever you need in a matter of minutes.

There are thousands of Extensions available for Joomla. Many free, but some of the more complex are either donation or relatively affordable. Extensions can range from interactive event calendars, forums, online chat, to ecommerce solutions.

How is Joomla Website Development different?

Joomla uses PHP programming language along with XHTML, JavaScript and CSS.

Benefits to following these standards and having a validated web compliant site include:

• Increased compatibility with browsers (no labels on your site like: “Best viewed using IE”)
• Ease in maintaining site thereby reducing future maintenance costs
• Consistency in colors, fonts and overall look and feel of site
• Accessibility broadens your audience by not excluding anyone
• Forward browser compatibility – designed for new browsers, not old/unused ones

The Joomla! software upon which the campaign site is designed and built is a free open source framework and content publishing system designed for quickly creating highly interactive multi-language Web sites, online communities, media portals, blogs and eCommerce applications.

Joomla! provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface that simplifies the management and publishing of large volumes of content including HTML, documents, and rich media,and is used by organizations of all sizes for intranets and extranets and is supported by a community of tens of thousands of users.
