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.

How Do You Protect Your WordPress Website from Being Hacked


Top 5 Security Best Practices To Protect Your WordPress Site

WordPress, used by tens of millions of sites around the world, is known for being one of the most user-friendly website platforms available online, but out of the box often a target for all sorts of malicious attacks.

You may be wondering why anyone would want to attack your website. Many a times the hackers are not looking to steal your data or delete important files but to use your server to send spam emails.

Choosing A Good Hosting Company

Instead of simply choosing the cheapest one you find, look for a hosting company that places an emphasis on security:

ü  Supports the latest versions of PHP and MySQL

ü  Includes a WordPress optimized firewall

ü  Comprise malware scanning and intrusive file detection

Website Updating

With every new release, there contains patches and fixes that address real or potential vulnerabilities which is why hackers intentionally target on older versions with known security issues. Remember to keep an eye on your Dashboard notification area and don’t ignore those ‘Please update now’


Strong Password usage

WordPress administrator password is anything like ‘letmein’, ‘abc123’, or ‘password’- you are down to weak passwords. Recommended coming up with a good password recipe that’s easy to remember but very hard to crack.

Limit Login Attempts

The best way to stop attempting a brute-force attack to crack your password is limiting the number of failed login attempts from a single IP address. How long an IP will be locked out for after too many failed login attempts?

Stop Using free themes

Even though there are thousands of free themes, a thumb rule is to avoid using free themes, especially if they aren’t built by a reputable developer. It is important that you should only use those developed by trusted theme companies.

There are many preventive measures and it is not important to stick to everything on this list. However, removing the ‘admin’ username and start using stronger passwords can guarantee a little bit safer.
