Joomla! is an open-source, web-based content management system (CMS) used
by millions of people worldwide to build and manage their personal or business
websites. Because Joomla! is free software and requires little knowledge of HTML/
CSS code for basic operation, it’s a popular choice for individuals, students, and
small businesses who want to create or update their web presence. In this course,
students will learn how to install Joomla! on an internet host, use FTP applications
to upload images and documents onto their servers, and build a basic multi-page
website. Topics will include logo installation, menu construction, basic HTML
coding, website back-up, site organization, and search engine optimization.
Students should have intermediate-level computer skills; previous web design
experience is not required. Students are expected to provide web hosting or purchase it from an inexpensive
recommended provider.
