Oh yeah, I switched from over 10 years on WordPress to Joomla 5! So loving Joomla 5, with just a couple paid components I added and it's now way better than WordPress. Thanks for your videos, I appreciate it.

I use WP and Joomla, however when a friend asks me about which is better CMS to build a commercial website, I 99% of the time recommend Joomla. Example, You can install multiple languages (no plugins needed like WP) but most importantly, the way SEO works in joomla in my opinion is superior to WP.

How often I heard "my nephew is building the website with Wordpress". How often I've heard "I'm having problems with my Wordpress site". "Where is the nephew?" ...gone 😀

Joomla 5 is very fast, stable, secure and easy to use and set up!

[juliesteffers]

What template did you use in Joomla if I may ask. Also did you use core Joomla or a component to do the grid on the home page with the three images and the text below. Thanks for an interesting video

[giuseppebosco]

Joomla is definitely better! wordpress is only good for letting kids play "webmaster"

[exswordpresstheme]

Does Joomla have some tools to create something that is called 'Custom post types' with custom set of fields in WordPress to jump of beyond simple articles? Like Custom Post Type UI or PODS something similar? Because tools like 'component creator' for Joomla or something similar - have bad UX

Bonjour savez vous comment inserer simplement une vidéo depuis son pc vers joomla 5 car je ne comprends pas cela ne fonctionne pas avec l'outil médi natif dans joomla 5. Etrange car ce doit être normalement une manipulation simple

[learntechguy]

I use both WordPress and Joomla. If it were solely up to me and not a client request I would use Joomla every time. The only thing I wish Joomla would figure out is to allow an upgrade to major releases instead of a migration. I understand why they do it but it still a pain.

[NajdArt]

Please where can I get professional templates for Joomla 5?

[miscetc-tmyt]

Does anyone know if it's possible to build custom pages on Joomla using HTML, CSS, and JS... or is that difficult because maybe Joomla is structured too much on using page templates and components? Thank you! : )

[ToyotaCharlie]

imho joomla has the upper edge over wordpress at least since version 3.5. the only thing that is still better in wordpress is handling, caching and delivering images

[AndreaMarongiu-jc]

It is possible to integrete React in Joomla?

[web_tolk]

Hi! Nice video! What about time to install comparsion?

[dimav.]

Joomla is much better as a technoloty - designed with OOP, MVC everywhere, well structured extensions, much more hooks and 2-3 times more features (in base installation) compared to WP.
BUT WP has:
1. 10 time more plugins.
2. 50 times more free plugins.
3. a lot of "cheap" web-developers on the market
4. WP doesn't change UI each 3-5 years - very important for clients.
I personaly bet on WP, as it is more frinedly to the end client.

Hello, I'm quite new, can you help me how to make a sales website on Joomla? :(

[mediaeasieruk]

The thing almost no one uses core WP features but instead just the framework to run Elementor or suchlike.

[TorianTammas]

I would never come up to seek help in German on any forum. English soeaking communities are generally far more welcoming.

[gf.calabretta]

can someone help me with a migration from wordpress to joomla hahaha please

[FAQ]

I left Joomla for WordPress around 6 years ago, seeing this video just confirmed that I made the correct decision. First, I can't imagine any serious client be satisfied with the admin UI, it's obviously better then it was before, but it's still horrible and nowhere near intuitive and easy to use WP dashboard. However, all of this doesn't really matter, because seeing the market share for both WordPress and Joomla, this is not a serious competition to be honest. I can't see Joomla coming closer to WP in terms of popularity and amount of potential work in the next 10-15 years (if Joomla survives them at all)
