Many people ask this especially when they are starting out.

Initially a CMS for a small business or even personal site may feel like overkill.However it quickly becomes apparent just how practical using Joomla can be!
By having a CMS the owner of the site needs only to login and start typing to update their website.
No more messy coding, uploading asp or html code, the only uploading you will need to do is clicking on your favourite photos or new promotional material in order to display it.

Not only is Joomla's interface incredibly easy to use as a content author but it also has a massive selection of available modules, plugin and components that help expand its usability.
From a small random thumbnail module or quote of the day to extensive online e-commerce shopping experiences and online classified or real estate listings.

Joomla is now also being used widely amongst the Queensland education departments websites for individual schools websites as it is easy to setup, maintain and add to!
By using Joomla you will be sure your websites updating never falls by the wayside due to being too hard or just not fun enough!
With Joomla you can start with a nice template such as the one here and week by week add new content, widgets, features and images until the site is as big as the one you dreamed you might have but could never afford through conventional website design methods.
