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.
