As with previous releases, Joomla! provides a unified and easy-to-use framework for delivering content for Web sites of

In Joomla! 1.5, you'll notice:

• Expanded accessibility to support internationalisation, double-byte characters and right-to-left support for Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew languages among others

The one thing about a Web site, it always changes! Joomla! makes it easy to add Articles, content, images, videos, and more.

Webmasters can also edit content through a graphical Control Panel that gives you complete control over your site.

Joomla! makes it easy to launch a Web site of any kind. Whether you want a brochure site or you are building a large online community, Joomla! allows you to deploy a new site in minutes and add extra functionality as you need it.
