Creating GWT SITE with Joomla



Joomla is Content Management System (CMS) .With Joomla you for sure can build a really powerful site. So what does CMS means? To tell you in a simple it’s a system that controls each and every element of your site right from pictures to file , from alignment to placement , from header to footer , so it’s a software that helps to build a site even if you do not have any coding knowledge simply clicks will do .
Let’s start with Installation of Joomla:-
Download it from: - http://www.joomla.org/download.html
Joomla installation is very easy just extract the contents of file to new root folder let say Joomla and extract in this folder once done go to the url let say http://localhost/joomla/ and follow the simple instruction on each page and make sure you do as they say, click next and next until it takes you to the final page where you get options to click on either your sites main page or the admin page and done.

Now how to customize the Joomla according to our needs with our designs so let’s begin

you always starts with analyzing how the structure of my site should be what should it display in the header , main menu , front page , footer and any additional functionality so here advantage is Joomla gives you the option for dividing the thing so that you gets chance to work on each one at a time . Begin with our structure and it would be:
The sections are:-
1) About us.
2) Testimonial.
3) Contact us.
4) FAQ.
So here each section does have some task to do here,
Under about us sections we have tasks divided by categories,

The categories are:-
1) What we are
2) What we offer
3) Benefits
4) Projects
5) History
6) Leadership and team
7) Why India?
8) Contact us
9) Faq

So what each categories do:
Now the categories listed have articles which actually help to build the page for its respective category so here articles which finally holds the content for each of its category.
So here the articles for each category are:
1) What we are (Category) –
