HTML vs CMS

Budget considerations together with web maintenance requirements are identified to determine the construction solution for your website.

HTML is generally used for static websites and are enhanced with the use of CSS, cascading style sheets to give them a dynamic look, with additional powerful applications added using web languages such as php, asp, javascript, etc.

CMS, Content Management Systems, are designed to enable web site owners to easily change and maintain their own websites without knowledge of web programming languages.

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS). Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone. (www.joomla.org)
