Joomla's beginnings and development
Born from a fork of Mambo in 2005, Joomla arrived with the promise of making web development more accessible and flexible. The founders of Joomla, a group of enthusiastic developers, visionaries and web designers, shared a common vision: to create a free, powerful and easy-to-use CMS. Over the years, Joomla has grown into a titan of web development, supported by a strong and dedicated community. With each release, Joomla has introduced new features, improved security, and greater usability, making it the preferred choice for websites of all sizes and types.
The Joomla Community: The heart of success
The backbone of Joomla's continued success is its vibrant and active community. Thousands of volunteers worldwide contribute through code contributions, support, documentation and event organization. This collective effort has created a rich resource landscape of extensions, templates and utilities that further enhance Joomla's flexibility and adaptability.
Joomla today: influence and future
Today, Joomla powers countless websites, from small personal blogs to large corporate sites. Its ease of use combined with powerful extensions makes it a top choice for web developers and content managers. Joomla is not just a CMS, but also a symbol of the power of the open source movement, showing how collaborative collaboration can shape the digital landscape.
Looking to the future, Joomla remains true to its open source philosophy, with regular updates and constant improvement through the contributions of its community. The next few years promise further innovation as Joomla continues to be at the forefront of web development technologies.
