This practical introductory Joomla training course provides delegates with real-world experience in building and administering a Joomla Content Management System Site via hands-on interactive tuition.

This Joomla course will show delegates the power and scope of using Joomla as a CMS for professional commercial websites.

Why Use a CMS?

Content Management Systems (CSM) like Joomla and WordPress can provide a wide range of functionality that you would otherwise require advanced programming and database knowledge to achieve if you were building a website from scratch.

By using templates modules and plugins - a CMS can allow you to easily bolt on new features and functionality quickly, whilst maintaining a high degree of control over the design, look and feel of your pages.

In a world where user interaction and social media are of increasing importance, content management systems that allow this functionality to be added with no fuss have come of age.

We also provide private and in-company Joomla courses. Call +44 (0) 1273 622272 to discuss.
