Joomla vs WordPress

When you begin building your website, you must decide whether to use a completely customized platform or a template. While customized websites assures a fresh and original look, it may be difficult to organize. Using a template-based website facilitates management and makes it easier for you to keep it in order.

Our designers at Windy City Web Designs usually utilize two of the most popular content management systems Joomla or WordPress. The battle still continues to determine the “better” platform, but each system has different perks to cater to different needs.

Joomla offers a highly flexible platform for an advanced designer. This platform allows more room to roam, however it does require more time. Joomla has a variety of themes too that can help you organize your website with more ease. With Joomla you can nearly customize it completely, but you must be well versed in design and development.

WordPress offers user-friendly navigation that will allow you to work side-by-side with your designer. This platform allows novices to be involved in the process of building and producing your website. No knowledge of code is required, but the platform still has back-end coding capabilities to allows you to customize some elements. Blogging is simple too and your site will be search engine friendly.
