Some Internet users believe that website creation is the most difficult task for the elite, who have been able to study reference books on HTML, JavaScript and PHP, are fluent in Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Flash. Of course, these people create professional and expensive sites, but all this is not necessary if you need to quickly put a page on the web. Then CMS Joomla comes to the rescue, using which you can create very high-quality sites, almost indistinguishable from professional ones.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - reliable internet access;
- - money to pay for the services of a hosting provider.
Instructions
Step 1
Download and install a local server on your computer. The most popular and well-proven is Denwer, famous for its reliability and ease of operation.
Step 2
Download and install the CMS Joomla distribution from the official site of the system. There should be no problems during installation, because it is extremely simple: the distribution kit is uploaded to the folder with your site on the local server and the necessary settings are made. After installing the package, log into the admin panel at https://mysite.ru/administrator (provided that the folder with your site on the local server is called mysite.ru) and enter the login and password specified during registration
Step 3
Install a graphic template for your site. You can create it yourself, or you can download it from special sites dedicated to CMS Joomla. Of course, the development of unique templates requires some knowledge in graphic packages and web-design, but such a site will look professional both in the eyes of users and for search engines.
Step 4
Joomla is a modular content management system, so the functionality of your site depends on which modules and plugins have been installed or removed. If your Internet resource is aimed at attracting and retaining users, then installing various entertainment modules is the solution to the problem. But if you want to create a business card site, then unnecessary additions will prevent visitors from getting acquainted with advertising information.
Step 5
After setting up the design, navigation and testing of the site, it will need to be transferred to the hosting, which you must pre-order and pay for. Do not skimp on this business - site performance is much more expensive. As soon as you place the site on the hosting and check its operation, start filling and promoting it, do not launch or litter the resource.
