Joomla! turns 3 – Happy Birthday Joomla!

Just as Navega Bem – Web Design celebrates 2 successful years – Joomla turns 3. Wow!
What an amazing and energetic ride this has been for Joomla as today it stands as ‘the’ most powerful open source Content Management System on the planet.
For such a young open source framework and content publishing system – Joomla has some incredible facts backing it up:
- Joomla currently features more than 3700 Extensions
- Joomla! has an active community of more than 200,000 (validated) friendly users and developers.
- Google search results on Joomla yield over 100 million results.
- The Joomla group of Web sites serves 1 million visitors per week.
- Since March 2007, there have been over 6 million downloads of Joomla.
Joomla! is used all over the world to power everything from simple, personal homepages to complex corporate web applications. Here are just some of the ways this award winning CMS solution is used:
Corporate websites or portals
Online commerce
Hotel and Tourism websites
Small business websites
Non-profit and organizational websites
Government applications
Corporate intranets and extranets
School and church websites
Personal or family homepages

The team behind ‘Navega Bem‘ have been developing successful websites since the early 90’s – however when we began working with Joomla it literally transformed our complete approach to web design and has helped make us one of the most recognized Joomla CMS web site developers in our field.
Our congratulations go out to everyone involved in parenting this phenomenal CMS solution that with the release of Joomla 1.5 has certainly come of age. Happy Birthday Joomla!
