Webvanta empowers your front-end code with back-end capabilities
Joomla! is a widely used open-source content management system. It is best suited for community sites and mid-size publishing sites. The system is designed to allow the administrator to place modules on pages, and then customize those modules, without dealing directly with any HTML or CSS code.

You want full access to all the software running on your server, and you're willing to keep it all updated and secure | You'd prefer to have professional programmers keep everything updated and secure |
You get a thrill from the text message on your phone at 1 am telling you that your server is down | You like the idea of someone else being responsible for keeping the server running |
You enjoy setting up backups and recovery plans, and making sure they run properly, indefinitely. | You'd like the peace of mind that comes from knowing that everything is properly backed up, on- and off-site |
Joomla! is used for the same sorts of sites as Webvanta. It's most appropriate for people who want to avoid coding details and are willing to accept some loss of flexibility; it tends to be frustrating for designers who are comfortable building in HTML, CSS, and JS and want full control.
We created Webvanta to deliver the power of Joomla! and Drupal, while at the same time eliminating most of the pain and complexity.
If you're comfortable with front-end code, Webvanta makes it easy to you quickly build sites that fulfill your vision:
