Why We Develop Law Firm Websites on the Joomla Content Management System Platform

The Benefits of Joomla Attorney Websites

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS).  A CMS is a software management system or platform that allows users to easily add new website pages, links, and content.  A significant advantage of the Joomla CMS is that it requires almost no website coding knowledge. 

With a website built on the Joomla platform, attorneys can easily make changes to their law firm's website, such as adding or updating attorney profiles or practice area pages, announcing firm news, changing pictures, and adding information about recent changes in the law.  Changes made in the Joomla CMS are made instantaneously to the law firm's website - there is no need to wait for a developer to make coding changes.  Additionally, because developer help is usually not required, the law firm can save money in reducing or eliminating developer fees.

The Joomla Open Source Platform For Law Firms

Unlike non-CMS platforms that require extensive customized coding to interact with databases,  Joomla database scripts have already been created as part of the CMS.  Thus when new articles or pictures are added, Joomla automatically creates a link to this content.  Joomla’s flexibility also allows users to modify navigation, easily add slideshows and incorporate multi-media content (such as movie files).

Joomla is open-source, meaning that it’s available to anyone free of charge under a general open-source license.  Because it is free, it’s become the world’s most popular content management system, with over 10 million downloads.  Because of this popularity, web developers world-wide have developed over 3,000 applications that can be easily incorporated into a Joomla CMS.  These include applications to use other software within the Joomla Platform (such as WordPress for blogging), e-newsletter applications, statistics packages and much more.
