5 Simple CMS Alternatives to Joomla

1. WordPress

   

   WordPress is the most powerful and popular CMS for powering websites. Almost 30% of the total active websites are with WordPress. WordPress has no competition for Blogging for beginners.

   If you are planning to start a blog, WordPress is definitely the best CMS available to you. WordPress is highly interactive and easy to start for Beginners. Once you get into the Blogging world and wish to explore more, you can try out with many other available options.

   But for creating the websites, i don’t recommend using WordPress. It does not have many extensions available for building the sites.

2. Umbraco

   

   Umbraco is one of the top most installed CMS by the users.
   It is built on the popular Microsoft .NET Framework. It is free to use and easy to install. Joomla has tough competition for building websites with Umbraco and Not wordpress.
