The most common question I get asked by people wanting a website is "Will I be able to add and change information on the site after it is finished?" This has been the Holy Grail of web content for as long as the web has been around (yes, I'm that old). Finally I can hold my hand over my heart and answer "YES - the site will be developed in Joomla".

But discovering Joomla was only the start. I still had to learn to use it. I still am of course. There are so many cool and useful extensions being developed by the Joomla community no-one can claim to know the best way to deliver a Joomla website in every circumstance. All I can claim is that I know enough to not get into too much trouble and I am happy to pass that on to you.

The Joomla! Core Team consists of volunteer developers, designers, administrators and managers who, together with a large range of Work Groups of dedicated community members have taken Joomla! to new heights in its relatively short life. This well-oiled machine is often copied but never surpassed. Joomla! has some wonderfully talented people taking Open Source concepts to the forefront of industry standards. Joomla! 1.5 is a major leap forward and represents the most exciting Joomla! release in the history of the project.
