It provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface that simplifies the management and publishing of large volumes of content including HTML, documents, and rich media. Joomla! is used by organisations of all sizes for Public Web sites, Intranets, and Extranets and is supported by a community of thousands of users.

Joomla Can Do What?
Joomla Content Management Systems on the web are used to publish and control documents, which are text based including documents, articles, and information, and are able to offer these features:
- To assist with the creation and importation of videos, images, and documents.
- To establish the identity of the main users, as well as their role in the website content management system
- Small business websites
- To assign roles and rights within the CMS, plus across different categories and content types.
- To have the capability to track, record, and manage various versions of the same files or content.
- To define tasks, system and management work flow, definitions, and to tie in event messaging enabling managers of the content to be notified to specific content changes.
- To allow formatting elements, fonts, colors, and layout sheets and styles, etc., within certain text – Some CMS allow for this! Joomla Certainly does this with perfection.
- To be able to use a centralized archive to publish content to, and to enable greater access to this content, but of greater importance with time, a repository that is a vital element of the content management system, which includes retrieval methods, and has an incorporated search.
