Both Joomla and Wordpress have a great demand now a days. The reason is simple- because site built by Joomla and Wordpress are better for SEO results because of their SEO friendly urls. Both of them are Free Open source Content Management systems that will help you manage your websites and also used for templates for the layout of your sites.
To make your blog as well as your website you might also choose one of them. But which one to choose? You first need to ask yourselves what type of website you will build? Here goes typical questions.
- Do you want to blog or build a blogging website? If so then choose wordpress. In case of blogging site you can't beat Wordpress. User, SEO friendly urls, tags feature of wordpress make the blogging job easy.
- Do you want to build a big website with lots of features? If your target is to build a big website with lots of features then choose Joomla. There is so many Joomla templates that make the things easy.
- Do you want to build a small website with small features? If so then choose Wordpress as cms.
- Do you want to build a large community site? If so then go for Joomla.
- Do you want to build a website with multilevel categories? If so then go for Wordpress.
Now let's have an idea about Wordpress and Joomla functions.
Wordpress has dashboard by which you can manage new post, adding categories, changing themes, links etc.
In Joomla control panel is much different than that of wordpress. There is lots of functions already built in Joomla. Once you have gone through the ins and outs of each Joomla and Wordpress you know better what fits for you from a technical point of view.
From my point of view, neither core Joomla nor core wordpress will fit for your needs. So you needs more functions, in other words you need plugins to accommodate your needs. For extra functionalities Joomla! uses three different kind of items, plugins, modules and components whereas WordPress uses Plugins and Widgets.
Joomla Components, Module and Plugins
In Joomla, a component is an extra piece of software that has is own control panel to handle the different options within such a function.
A module is to place some information on a certain position (determined by the template) to show on the front-page.
Plugins are mostly extra functions that create or deliver new back-end functions like a different WYSIWYG Editor.
Wordpress Plugins and Widgets
In WordPress plugins do the same functions as in Joomla, some give your more back-end controls like the Robots Meta plugin or they will have their own Control panel (setting). They comes with extra functions with their extra management panel.
Widgets are more like the Modules in Joomla, you can show pieces of information on a separate position, also determined by the Theme of your WordPress installation.
Whether you use Joomla or Wordpress you should install latest versions of it and you need to upgrade them. In their control panel you can have a look whether any update version is available.
