Abstract
A Web Content Management System (WCMS) is a software system that provides website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools designed to allow users with little knowledge of web programming languages or markup languages to create and manage website content with relative ease. A robust WCMS provides the foundation for collaboration, offering users the ability to manage documents and output for multiple author editing and participation. A WCMS allows non-technical users to make changes to a website with little training. A WCMS typically requires a systems administrator and/or a web developer to set up and add features, but it is primarily a website maintenance tool for non-technical staff.
Why Use A Content Management System To Develop A Website:
Many companies find it difficult to keep their web site content as up to date as they would like. Often there are delays getting new content online, the site stagnates and your clients get to see outdated information. That’s why so many companies are turning to CMS. A CMS web presence allows you to manage your web site even if you have no technical knowledge, experience with HTML or web site design. It also reduces the calls to your web design agency or IT department for changes to the web site. CMS reduces the time required to publish, allowing you to get your content on-line faster. This is a very important issue for any professional web site.

We have to opt Joomla for following reasons:
Tailor The System To Your Needs:
Joomla is a CMS to be tailored: You can easily create the content that fit with your design. End users can build on the framework created for them easily, while still maintaining the integrity of the Look & Feel.
Make More Out Of Your Site With Joomla Extensions:
Add new features with extensions, give your site a new look with one of the many templates, or add more power to your site with plugins. The Joomla Project serves thousands of extensions for users to choose from.
Control Your Own HTML:
The Joomla template system doesn't dictate HTML to you. You know how to make great looking websites and don't want any system to stand in your way. Joomla simply lets you get your database content integrated into the CSS/HTML that you design. Joomla Templates can be either based on a custom design, downloaded from a Joomla Template Club or downloaded for free. And any great template will show your website in your visitor's browser as intended by you.
Conclusion
Joomla1.5! Core functionality lacks some important features that need to build a serious website which makes it feel a little toy-ish and had to play around an awful lot to get everything working optimally. Later Versions of Joomla Overcomes this disadvantage.
