The first and most obvious one is that the CMS is<strong> absolutely free<\/strong>. You can use it for multiple projects, alter the source code, or add your own &#8211; all without any fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joomla is open-source, so it\u2019s <strong>highly customizable<\/strong>. Setting it up yourself might require some tech skills, though. Thankfully, most reliable hosting providers offer auto-installers and professional tech support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve configured everything, Joomla is <strong>incredibly easy to use<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As if that\u2019s not enough, Joomla offers <strong>multilingual support<\/strong>. You can choose between <strong>70 language packs<\/strong> to adhere to different audiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your website is all done and ready, Joomla can also help it get noticed with some wonderful <strong>in-built SEO features<\/strong> and easily integratable plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"shortcode-cta-new-wrap row joomla\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"shortcode-logo\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/shortcode-bg-new-logo-joomla.svg\" alt=\"shortcode-logo\" title=\"shortcode-logo\"\/>\r\n    <div class=\"shortcode-cta-img col-10 col-sm-7 col-md-5\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"shortcode-bg\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/shortcode-bg-new-joomla.webp\" alt=\"shortcode-bg\" title=\"shortcode-bg\"\/>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"shortcode-cta-content col-12 col-md-7\">\r\n        <div class=\"content\">\r\n            <div class=\"heading\">Take your Joomla site to new Heights - Join the ScalaHosting Family<\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"list-wrap\">\r\n                <div class=\"list\">\r\n                    <div><b>Free, Effortless & No-Downtime Migration<\/b><\/div>\r\n                    <div><b>Anytime Unconditional Money-back Guarantee<\/b><\/div>\r\n                    <div><b>Constant, fast and competent Joomla Support<\/b><\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"btn-wrap row\">\r\n                <div class=\"col-auto\">\r\n                    <a class=\"button blue\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scalahosting.com\/joomla-hosting.html\">Start Now<\/a>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"col-auto\">\r\n                    <button class=\"button blue_outer\" title=\"Contact Sales\" onclick=\"chatChangeVisibility(this, 'maximize', {}, 5);\">Chat with our Experts<\/button>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joomla Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning Joomla doesn\u2019t have to be a drag.
