When Can You Choose Joomla Over WordPress



The world of Content Management Systems is in serious competition which is why, a lot of businesses brain storm to end up choosing Joomla rather than other leading open-source CMS systems like Drupal and WordPress. 

This article shall give you a few reasons to why?

Deciding Between The Two Great Choices

A competition that was performed between these CMS’s teams competed to build a community website with the same requirements.  Here are the results


·    Total Hours Worked: Joomla takes almost 57 hours based on your requirements while Wordpress takes 90 hours.

·    HTML Validation: With proper joomla training, all you need is HTML / CSS to turn any psd to Joomla. But Wordpress doesn’t.

·    Page Weight: Joomla CMs shows 140K whereas Wordpress shows 154K

These are the basics and there are a few more reasons to let you choose Joomla for website development.

·         Depending on the size, most designers will handle your WordPress site design for less than $500. However, this doesn’t fulfil all your business needs. Rather, if you choose a designer capable of using Joomla, yes he might charge $1,000 but get your work done with no errors.

·         Even in first look, Joomla looks much different and from the first glance its organizational superiority can be seen. Its articles are categorized supporting a new menu easily from the backend and whatever content you have on your Joomla website you can easily choose the certain page where you want it to appear.

·         Joomla comes with a steep learning curve than WordPress. And, if you’re trying to manage thousands of articles on your blog or website, Joomla does provide some options to make it easier.

As a bottom line, Joomla will be the better choice as it fits in most of the areas.
