You can try our simple demo to get quick taste of what Joomla! is all about.

The definition of the term Web 2.0 is an evolving one, but it is generally agreed that Web 2.0 refers to a second generation of Internet services that let people collaborate and share information online. In contrast to the first generation, in Web 2.0, the Internet functions as a computing platform that serves web applications to end users. In this way, it provides an experience closer to desktop applications than the traditional static Web pages. All of KDM Design and Marketing Joomla! Web Sites are Web 2.0.
