F.A.Q about CMS
These articles covers the CMS topic:
What is a Content Management System (CMS)?
A CMS is a computer software system for organising and facilitating collaborative creation of documents and other content. A CMS is frequently a web application used for managing web sites and web content.
Logging in to the Back‐end
The Back-end functions are available by logging onto the Back-end via the www.yourdomainname.com/administrator URL. This will display the Login screen. Input you Username and Password in their respective fields and click the Login button. The Control Panel (Home page) is displayed.
Extension types
This article describes the different extension types available for Joomla. There are five types of Joomla extensions that you can use to add functionality to your website: Components, Modules, Plugins, Templates, and Languages. Each of these extensions adds specific functionality to your pages.
About Translations
Currently supporting 64 world languages, Joomla speaks more languages than any other content management system. If your site users speak one language and your administrators another, you can customize your language settings to serve their needs—even on an individual user basis. Whether you speak French, Japanese, or Farsi, Joomla speaks your language.
Media Manager
This screen displays the entire images folder, i.e. www.yourdomainname.com/images. This is useful to remember, as you need to select the correct sub-folder to upload images, which will be available to your Content Items. Normally, you will see the following sub-folders: M_images, banners, smilies, and stories (used to store images for Content Items). In addition, you will see a number of images in the images folder itself.
Creating articles
On your website you will already have a few articles created and published. You can take a look at how they are written and organized in order to get used to managing your articles. To see them go to Content > Article Manager from the top admin menu.

Tips on Web Design

Understanding how color works on Web pages
The browser-safe color palette will ensure that most people will see your page and images in the colors you intended.
When many people first start building their Web pages, they create pages in colors that they like. If you're lucky or have a good eye, you'll end up with colors that look nice together.
-
Know your audience, and keep them in mind when you write.
If your Web pages are frequented by people with slower modems then designing a page that looks best over a T1 is not a successful strategy. The speed of the Internet is finally getting faster.
But even with these increases, it is important that you perform Web site optimization on your pages to get the fast download speeds your customers are looking for.
