Joomla! is a content management system that helps content creators to build websites and online applications.
Organizations with creative teams who are bogged down with design requests for marketing or sales collateral and looking to empower their non-designer colleagues with brand templates.
I have been with Joomla since V1.0 and it has been a great Journey - I have never left it becuse it has proven to be a great solution for all my Projects.
Whenever I've deployed a Joomla site, it inevitably gets infested by spammers and there's been instances where sites have gotten hacked.
A stable and reliable CMS with two-factor authentication and good security features. A full community of developers that offer extensions for nearly any function or integrations you can imagine.
I have experienced quite some problems placing upgrades. Expecially when an update failed (because of the database version for example), the site became unusable.
I was seeking for a powerful software, one which builds any kind of website or blogs, a flexible one as well with vast templets for superb customization. Well, I do not dispute this software at all.
Things we required to run our websites began to break with new releases, and the support was no longer there. It was frustrating, but necessary, to move to something more widely adopted.
A huge base of plugins and extensions, including free ones. Open source, with a great community, which is open to help you with the issue you can face along the way.
What I don't like is that sometimes compatibility errors occur when installing plugins simultaneously.
I like all the templates that they have ans it is fairly easy to customize them. The documents have a nice quality to them when they are printed.
Sometimes if we need other people to collaborate on a document it is a little more difficult, the team who uses the product saves PDFs so can be cumberson for edits/updates.
Wonderful options!!! The software as how it is set up makes life so easy for me to work with clients. The ease in which I can create is fantastic.
It is difficult to export it to Power Point so that it renders without aliasing the text.
We were able to create a beautiful press for a charitable campaign quickly. Graphics were good and my partners on the deal were extremely happy with the look.
I found that the program often froze or was delayed which made things difficult. I also found that sizing of objects was not as easy as it could be, I would prefer an option to type in the dimensions.
The overall experience was great. We were able to publish a monthly newsletter promoting the exciting accomplishments of our school and community.
The pricing is the only downside, comparing to similar apps on market, this is probably is the expensive one I found.
Tim: Hi, my name is Tim, I'm a marketing technologies consultant, my rating for Joomla is four. Click below for more videos. I use Joomla as a content management system for a large enterprise website. I like Joomla's ability to create components and customize the site easily. I dislike the upgrade pass, it can be complicated to update Joomla when necessary.
Travis: Hi, I'm Travis, a Director of Development in the non-profit industry, and I would give Lucidpress four out of five stars. Before Lucidpress, we had Microsoft Illustrator and unfortunately it wasn't as intuitive to me. When I jumped on board in my position, I was looking for something that had just a wide range of features, and it didn't seem like at least our version of Illustrator was up to snuff with the vision that I had for the assignments that were before me, such as newsletter generation and other things. And so when I looked around, searched online, said a prayer, because I had no idea where to go, I actually came across Lucidpress and was pleasantly surprised. At the end of the day, after doing my search through the different publishing softwares, I decided on Lucidpress because it seemed like it not only gave us the most bang for our buck, but it also seemed to just have all the features that we need. They're constantly doing updates, and it's been four years since I made that decision and I'm still very comfortable with it. It's just been very easy to get the job done and also to train staff. They seem to pick it up pretty easily as well, and that helps. And so it's just been a nice process. Our printing company, they work well with us and they seem to understand it. And it's a really big plus to have it as cloud-based because when you're sending those big files, it's nice to just be able to go to the printing company, download it on their computers, and just allow it to do its job, and for them to take over from there, rather than having to dumb down one of the files in order for it to process or send via email. So there's a lot of great features to sum it all up, and the addition or the option for it to be on cloud is just a huge plus that makes our workflow a lot easier. It was very easy to onboard into Lucid. I was given the task of creating a newsletter that had already been in existence before I had started at my current position, and I had a vision for what I wanted to do, and it was great to be able to get into Lucid and easily identify what needs to be done. And I don't have a graphic design background by any means, but it just talks and shows and presents itself well. And so I think anyone who has a general understanding of what they want to do and of manipulating even Microsoft Paint or something like that, I think you would be able to pick up Lucidpress pretty easily. If you're considering Lucidpress, I would recommend that you gauge the price against the features. I think that's a huge draw to have a cloud-based publishing software. You might gauge it against the others, against the competitors, and assess even the templates and the things that are already available to you. I was able to create the newsletter that is still going on by manipulating a template that was involved in Lucid for our purposes. I did a fair amount of changing it, but it's still actually, four years later, serving as the base. And it's given the feel and the branding to our non-profit's newsletter. So I think just based on the price, the cloud integration or the cloud availability, and then all the features that come in, I think if you gauge it against the other ones, the competitors that are out there, it's going to be a very competitive publisher. And I think you would be good to make your decision with it and you'd feel that you confidently made a good choice.
