Joomla is an open source platform like WordPress. You can add extensions to it to get the features you want for your website. If you choose to use it, make sure to keep it upgraded for security, and make backups as sometimes it can break your website functionalities due to incompatibilities. Like in WordPress, you don’t want your website to have too many extensions installed as they can make your website run a lot slower, and use a lot of server resources – the extensions quality will also make a difference on this.
You can get a much easier website developing program with UltimateWB. It has a lot of built-in apps that you can customize, so you probably don’t have to add your own coding to it, though you can if you choose to. You can create any type of website with it. Plus, it has very useful features like creating a sitemap with the click of a button, or making backups of your database, all through your website admin panel.
