About Joomla!®
"Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build websites and powerful online applications.
Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular website software available.
Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone." (source: www.joomla.org)
Joomla! is the platform on which all Wynchcote Websites are designed and built.
What is a Content Management System or CMS?
"A content management system or CMS is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them.
"Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of.
"A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to."

Why use a 'dynamic' Content Management System in preference to a traditional 'static' website?
- Easy to use for website owners and/or administrators;
- Allows for a large number of contributors if you want to spread the workload of manageing a busy site;
- Consistent professional styling across your website - controlled by a template;
- Joomla!, unlike some other CMSs, is very intuitive - though some training may be useful when you get started;
- Reduced website maintenance costs - though this assumes some DIY on the part of the webmaster;
- Easy to keep your site up to date and to make changes - see points above.
Wynchcote Training Solutions can deliver value for money training and coaching if required.
