INTERNET MARKETING

hello warriors,

I am looking at joomla, for a content site i am currently working on. is it flexible easy to operate?

I am also interested in adding a forum for the subscribers of the site is this an option?

how search engine friendly is joomla? I will be hosting it on shared server which i think is linux.

sorry for all the questions

thanks in advance

Danny

You can get loads of joomla extention for free at extensions.joomla.org

Yes you can add a forum in jooomla:
For your forum get the Fireboard forum component

Joomla is also very sef with the right component:
To make joomla search engine freindly get either the sh404SEF component or the Artio JoomSEF (i use sh404SEF for my joomla website below)

Hope this helps!

I work almost exclusively in Joomla nowadays. It may be a bit of a learning curve in the beginning but once you know it it's a breeze.

And with lots of extentions and templates available you can do just about anything with it.

SEO is built into the 1.5 and you can extend your SEO with additional components.

Support through the support forums is quite good.

For what it's worth, I recommend it.

Edit: freddie, you got there first!

Joomla is quite difficult to learn but very easy to use once you get the hang of it. But the pages created with Joomla are so impressive and professional looking that you'll soon find yourself favoring it more than wordpress. The templates available online the paid ones especially are simply amazing. Yes, to all your questions.

  Yes, Joomla is a viable CMS to consider for your website. You can use Fireboard or phpBB which you can integrate in.
  
  Works well with Amember too should you want to have a paid membership.

  I pretty much use Joomla for every web project, be it a membership site, directory, forum, community, sales pages, ecommerce. It can do pretty much everything and has a great SEO underpinning.
  
  I have used almost every other CMS but Joomla is by far the most flexible.

  Hi,
  
  I use wordpress mostly because of the rssfeeds which help a lot with quick indexing, but I've had my eye on joomla: does joomla do feeds?
  
  Thanks
