Re: Wordpress vs. Joomla
Yes, in Joomla those are called Extensions and available via http://extensions.joomla.org/Watson22 wrote:Ohh yeah one more thing. I know that There is a lot of different plugins for Wordpress is it the same for Joomla?
There are mainly 5 kinds of extensions: Components (determine the functionality on a page), Modules (in Wordpress they call this widget), Plugins (run in the background), Templates (in Wordpress called "Themes") and Language files (to translate system labels like "read more").

Re: what is the difference between the joomla and wordpress
Wordpress is much easier to set up and maintain. If you want a simple site or blog then Wordpress is it. It is also has a lot of SEO tools at its disposal. Learning curve on Joomla is higher but it is much more powerful. For complex sites Joomla is it. If a lot of users will be updating the site then you cannot beat Joomla user management.
I personally use Joomla to design my customers money sites and use Wordpress for blogs that support these sites.

Re: site with wordpress or joomla
Both will be just fine. It's all about what you prefer. To me wordpress was easier to start with but now I'm using Joomla just because it gives me more freedom to do what I want.

Re: Joomla or Wordpress
Joomla! is much more flexible, even if it has less plugins and modules. It's much better for social networking sites than Wordpress IMO.

Re: Joomla or Wordpress
I think both have their own unique features but your choice should depend on which of them can make feel more comfortable. Both are great for business websites but if you have a simple and personal blog, you can use wordpress to power it for you.

Re: Joomla vs Wordpress
Honestly, I don't have any direct experience with Drupal. I have used WordPress and Joomla to create several websites. According to my personal experience, Joomla is not that easy that some users expect. As you may know Drupal is the most complicated program among the most popular CMSs. If the ease of use is important for you WordPress is your first choice, but you can't expect a website as professional as ones created by Drupal or Joomla.
There are some resources helping you have a right choice when choosing your needed CMS.
See the comparison chart of WordPress, Joomla and Drupal on
http://www.threehosts.com/wordpress-vs- ... rupal.html
There is also a useful article at
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_cent ... -wordpress
And you can find Pros and Cons of any of these programs on
https://www.udemy.com/blog/drupal-vs-jo ... -wordpress
You can also use demo account of WordPress, Joomla and Drupal via their official websites to see one of them is proper for you. My favorite program is Joomla. Joomla allows you to build a site with more content and structure flexibility than Wordpress offers, but still with fairly easy, intuitive usage.

Why is that your opinion? WP has Buddypress while most of the good Joomla social networking extensions seem like they are paid.michalp wrote:It's much better for social networking sites than Wordpress IMO.

Re: Joomla vs Wordpress
Yes all these articles are subjective for any person/companies interest in their favourite cms. The only good test I have seen, pls post link if you have any other, is this one that really compare how easy it is to set up Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal for the contest of doing the same thing: http://www.cmswire.com/cms/web-cms/sxsw ... 004124.phpemaderam wrote:Honestly, I don't have any direct experience with Drupal.

Everything else is just opinions mostly of people that dont have experience of all three systems or just favour one of them.... thats my opinion

Re: Joomla vs Wordpress
This is interesting, since I started with Wordpress and now I'm learning joomla, I'm looking more powerful CMS which support for ecommerce, since my job is creating ecommerce websites.
And I agree with Itoctopus who point out that WordPress is easier than Joomla. That is what I feel when I started it, but I'm still looking the powerful website and faster website. That makes me here now.

Interesting comparison @darb.
Just out of curiosity @TiffanyWatch why not develop on a dedicated ecommerce platform like osCommerce?

So they stopped doing this ultimate showdown comparisons now and you can guess why of the results?
If this was in favour of Drupal you can be sure that this have been the continuously ultimate showdown test for the leading CMS! Even they tailored the test idea to fit Drupal and the Drupal dev team you can guess..?
Drupal Joomla! WordPress
Total Hours 79.25 57.25 90.5 - this is what you should consider about "easy to use" from a developer doing the same site.

In a technical standpoint wordpress's code is not as clean and object oriented as joomla. For me as a developer I don't like wordpress's code as much as joomla.
