I'm going to take you thru a step by step process of making an internet site using the open source content management system, Joomla. A Content Management System ( CMS ) is essentially a software package which gives you a way separating the content from the view giving you more flexibility and straightforwardness of operation and maintenance. It also provides a straightforward to use framework to add and publish content to your site. In a lot of ways it is analogous to Wordpress but is more advanced and gives a lot more options both for view and content management.

here is what you'll need to get started :

for now lets commence with a basic local installation of Joomla on your PC. To completely implement Joomla, you'll need a file system, a database and a web server. Rather than installing and configuring each of them separately, we will a package which includes every one of them.

you will find these packages at Joomla Extension directory which by the way is where all the extensions for Joomla are broadcast. We may go extensions a bit later in this tutorial.

Basics of Joomla

There a few major components that Joomla uses to do the task and lets go through every one of them one by one. We are going to refer to this part of the site as the frontend from now on. The backend for Joomla is a particularly critical part of your internet site. Everything you see on the front end is added and configured in the backend. To get to the administration page of your Joomla site, just add'/administrator' to the end of your page url.

Eg. Localhost/Joomla/administrator/

The default username/pswd for these standalone servers is admin/admin. If that doesn't work, you might want to test the Read Me observes that came with it. Static content in Joomla is formed as Articles.

Creating an Article

click on the button New to make a new article.

You can start adding content to the text area like MS Word and add formatting to it. Once done you are able to save by clicking the Save button on the top right.

Lets make a new article called'Hello World' and make it a static page by choosing the Section as Uncategorized.
