 
Intro to Joomla Course - Part of the Comprehensive Web Design Course
Joomla! is a very popular tool for building websites - it has been downloaded over 10 Million times and the actual number of websites built with Joomla is probably about 2 or 3 times as much!
Joomla helps you to:
- Build websites quickly and easily
- Build complex websites quickly and easily using some of the many free extensions available. There are over 4000 extensions available for Joomla. These extensions will give you functionality to build shopping carts, membership sites, social networking sites, forums and much more
- Maintain websites quickly and easily. You do not need to be concered about broken links or updating links if you add or remove pages - all of these are maintained automatically for you by the Joomla system

Hi Christine,
Thank you for an excellent intro to Joomla course. You have a gift to explain the most difficult concepts in simple terms. You have put a lot of work in the printed guideline that accompany your slide presentation. It really makes it easy and a pleasure to go through the steps again. I really enjoyed your presentation and are looking forward to the more advanced course that you are planning for the future.
