Free Joomla Manual
Do you want to create a website with a Joomla manual? If you want to create your own Joomla website, a manual will come in handy. There are a lot of tutorials circulating on the internet to create a Joomla website. This article only includes tutorials for web designers who want to start with Joomla 3 or 4.
What should you pay attention to when consulting a manual?
- Is the manual written for the latest version ? With a manual for Joomla 2.5 you are nothing. If you want to create a new Joomla website, always use the latest version. Currently this is Joomla 4 . With version 3 you can also start a website, but soon you will have to update to Joomla 4 . So better start with Joomla 4 and save yourself a lot of extra work.
- There is also evolution within a certain Joomla version. For example, Joomla 3 has been on the air since 2012. Meanwhile, we are working on version Joomla 3.10.11 (August 2022). Over the years, many features have been added (and some have disappeared). When you consult a manual , look carefully at the date of publication .
