Joomla
Joomla occupies the middle ground between the straightforward WordPress and the complex Drupal. It offers a powerful out-of-the-box feature set for content management.
Core Concept
Strong support for hierarchical user groups and access levels built into the core. Joomla is known for its flexible layout control via modules and positions.
Assessment
- Use case: Mid-sized portals, intranets, and association websites with many editors.
- Advantage: Excellent value for money for standard features that require costly extensions in other systems.
- Limitation: The architecture feels somewhat dated compared to modern frameworks, and the community is shrinking in favour of more specialised systems.
