Differences in Frameworks for PHP (WordPress, Joomla)

  • click to rate

    Frameworks are basically software packages that transmit instructions to a server (the machine that runs an application or website) on how it should be displayed/function. Frameworks are like blueprints — they tell the server how to get things done. They also work as a guide that lets developers do tasks faster and simpler.

    The three most popular frameworks of all PHP versions, WordPress and Joomla are detailed and compared below. 

    WordPress

    WordPress is an open-source blogging system and a powerful publishing platform. It's easy to install, customise and extend. WordPress powers more than 18% of the Internet, including high profile sites like CNN, TechCrunch, The Daily Mail and The White House.

    The main features of WordPress are listed as follows:

    1. Easy Installation and Configuration: WordPress comes with a 1-2-3 step installation wizard which allows anyone to set up their blog within minutes with no coding knowledge required.
    2. Blogging Platform: WordPress comes with a built-in blogging platform where people can easily manage their posts (add, edit and delete) from the admin panel.
    3. Content Management System: WordPress is a content management system ( CMS ). It allows you to add, edit or delete any post/page on your website via the admin panel without touching any code.
    4. Built-in Search Engine Optimization: WordPress comes with built-in search engine optimization (SEO) features that allows you to optimise your site for search engines without touching any code.
    5. Widgets and Shortcodes: WordPress has widgets and shortcodes that can be used to display custom content anywhere on your blog/website (sidebar, footer etc). 

    Joomla

    It is written in PHP, uses MySQL as its database, and works on a client-server model. Joomla offers ease of use and extensibility. This makes it the most popular website software available. It is estimated to have more than 3 million users worldwide.

    Joomla offers a wide variety of features and configuration options that you can use to build your site. Some of these include:

    1. Content management: Joomla offers a WYSIWYG editor, allowing users without HTML knowledge to create structured content. It also offers a powerful article editor for users who prefer direct code editing; unlike many other systems, Joomla uses standard HTML tags and attributes instead of proprietary tags.
    2. Extensions: A large number of extensions are available from the Joomla Extensions Directory that allows you to add new features like forums, contact forms, events calendars and more.
    3. Templates: Joomla has a large library of templates available for download from the Template Manager which includes both free and commercial templates in different styles. Users can choose from over 500 templates or create their own using the online template designer tool.
    4. Multilingual support: With over 74 language versions pre-installed and many more available in the Language Manager module, Joomla is one of the most widely used multilingual CMS systems available.
