Any Joomla wizards here?
 

I'm thinking of taking the plunge into Joomla. I run mostly WP-driven blogs but want something more robust. Plus, I'm looking for something more conducive to a directory-type front end for a deep content site I'm planning.

Care to share your experiences? Does it support deep directories? Easy templating? Easy SEO capabilities? Social media friendly?

we have a look at www.fukvidz.com it running on joomla. Hit me up if you need to know anything or such.

Thanks, man. Interesting structure.

I tried Joomla and I find it very heavy... not that friendly as WP.

If you want something which have more options then wp I think is better option to try drupal insteed of joomla. Joomla is perfect for sites for small mainstream business, like selling wine ot something, or small offices, which can be operated by unskilled staff once when their specific template has been made. But joomla produced very bad code, joomla is not good optimizied, has many unnecessary things, which can be user friendly but completly not needed for skilled webmasters etc. I have made few joomla sites for others because it's easy to teach them how to operate the site, but for me I'm considering to learn drupal. I know exactly what you mean and if you would like to made site for you I would go with drupal, better core, better optimized, very seo firendly. For traffic wise drupal can handle high traffic sites much better then joomla. MTV UK, whitehouse gov has made in drupal and few others high traffic sites. Security in drupal is better then in joomla. Although, it's easier to made site in joomla then in drupal.
In short, if you make site for others go with joomla but if you like to make good site for you go with drupal. :2 cents:

well as you can see fukvidz.com it has a lot of features and that is only possible because so many people are making stuff for it, which is then easy to edit and turn into your own thing that will fit the site. You need to do some coding and keep a structure to work with it. but you can basically build a big site for almost no money. You just have to know how it works and where you need to edit the script.
