Ah, The Love/Hate…

Joomla! support services for those customers currently using Joomla! as their web CMS eXperiencing issues, we lean more towards directing them to WordPress and Drupal if “the juice is not worth the squeeze” to repair their current Joomla! implementation.

In Our Opinion, Joomla Might be Dying!

Between Drupal and WordPress – WordPress being our favorite for most common web sites, most bases are covered with regards to security, longevity, scalability, and features. This means that before even considering the drawbacks of Joomla!, there really is no necessity for it in the market any longer.

Many plugins for Joomla! must be paid for and are no longer supported, potentially due to the low user base. This generally causes the community to not favor the use of such modules, which has also depreciated in the past few years and led to many migrations to either Drupal or WordPress. This results in a smaller Joomla! community, which is infrequently ideal for an open source platform.

Joomla! is also generally less secure than WordPress and Drupal, and the way upgrades are handled from one major release to the next can be very frustrating. Major version releases are really forks to the last version and require more of a migration than an upgrade. Moreover, the site theme and extensions used on the previous version are often incompatible with the new version, which means you have to invest much more time and money when performing what should be a simple upgrade.

• Social Networking – This is one of the biggest benefit of Joomla. Joomla makes it the easiest to create social networks. Social networks can be a powerful asset for many sites, and with Joomla, you can have one up and running extremely quickly and easily, especially with our help.
• Commerce Sites – If you want us to set up an online e-commerce store; this is also very simple with Joomla. While it is certainly possible with Drupal and WordPress, Joomla can make it a “tad” faster and easier, and offers more native support for these types of things.
• Not too Technical – Joomla has, in many people’s opinion, found that middle ground between the ease of managing a WordPress website, and the power of a Drupal site. Most common folk should be able to run a Joomla site without any significant technical support (cough-cough), though there may be some issues which you’ll need our help on.
• Help Portal – Joomla offers a great help portal for asking questions and getting technical support. It isn’t going to be as fast or extensive as the community based support pages of WordPress, but it is quicker (and cheaper) than technical support most people get for Drupal.
• Free – Like Drupal, Joomla is free to use on your own web servers, but there is no option to have it hosted for free like WordPress offers.

Many users love Joomla! because it is powerful, yet easy to use. Joomla! has done an excellent job at combining the benefits of WordPress and Drupal, and adding in some great features of its own. Joomla seems to have found a big market of people who are ready for something a little more powerful than WordPress, but easier to manage than Drupal.

CodeIgniter’s MVC framework helps developers keep their code organized and modular and delivers a real enhancement to the overall efficiency of web development and web application maintenance. CodeIgniter can also be expanded to operate in a modular (HMVC) fashion allowing developers to write modules for one application and use them again in another. This means the code is reusable, which helps reduce development time and expense for our customers.

CI allows us to develop complex web applications with a robust set of tools – Calendar, e-mail, zip encoding, form validation, file uploads, sessions, unit testing… just a few of the built in libraries that come with CI. It also includes a boat load of default helpers for common things like forms, file handling, arrays, strings, cookies, directories, and more. And as if that wasn’t enough, we can create our own libraries and helpers or use code that has been developed by the CI community and posted to the wiki.

CodeIgniter is a community-developed open source project, with several venues for community members to gather and exchange ideas.
