Overview of this book

Joomla has been the second-most used open-source content management system for years. It has always had many built-in features, but several of them are not very well-known in the market. This book brings to you all the major features of the Joomla 4.x series that’ll enable you to build your own website and CMS on Joomla. The book begins by introducing you to the content management features that represent the hearth of the software and show you how to structure your website content to get the most out of it. You’ll also find out how to extend your content with custom fields, go multilingual, and set up your custom workflow. As you advance, you’ll learn all about the customization of the website, introducing templates, and child templates and overrides that’ll allow you to make your site unique. The concluding chapters will take you through four different case studies, including an online learning system, a B&B booking system, and corporate and editorial websites to see how Joomla has been used in real life to achieve a specific goal for your clients. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to confidently build modern websites on Joomla to deliver tailor-made solutions to your clients.
