Welcome to MSJ-Webdesign

Joomla! provides plenty of flexibility when displaying your Web content. Whether you are using Joomla! for a blog site, news or a Web site for a company, you'll find one or more content styles to showcase your information.

Sample Sites

Your installation includes sample data, designed to show you some of the options you have for building your website. In addition to information about Joomla! there are two sample "sites within a site" designed to help you get started with builidng your own site.

The first site is a simple site about Australian Parks. It shows how you can quickly and easily build a personal site with just the building blocks that are part of Joomla!. It includes a personal blog, weblinks, and a very simple image gallery.

The second site is slightly more complex and represents what you might do if you are building a site for a small business, in this case a Fruit Shop.

In building either style site, or something completely different, you will probably want to add extensions and either create or purchase your own template. Many Joomla! users start off by modifying the templates that come with the core distribution so that they include special images and other design elements that relate to their site's focus.

 

The forums are where to meet other community members, get help, and help others.

Translation Teams need volunteers and new language contributions are always welcome. 

The Development Mailing Lists and the developer site are the places for coders.

Joomla! is software that lets you make and update web pages easily.

You can think of a Joomla! website as bringing together three elements.

  • Your content, which is mainly stored in a database.
  • Your template, which controls the design and presentation of your content (such as fonts, colors and layout).
  • Joomla! which is the software that bring the content and the template together to produce webpages.
