Joomla: Joomla is an open-source CMS that is known for its flexibility and scalability. It has a wide range of extensions and templates available, making it a great choice for larger, more complex websites. Joomla is also known for its advanced user management and access control features.
WordPress: WordPress is the most popular CMS and is known for its ease of use and flexibility. It is widely used for blogging and creating small to medium-sized websites. WordPress has a large community of developers, which means there are a wide range of themes and plugins available.
