I learned how to use Joomla and K2 at the same time.  I loved the added features that K2 provided, especially the ability to automatically resize pictures for different items. K2 provides over 100 options that really can help you take your Joomla design to the next level.  It has nested categories, a commenting system, social media tools, and an advanced user system.

Front-end publishing is what allows Joomla users to edit or write new content directly on the webpage of their website. You are able to update your site without ever having to go to Joomla's administration panel. And logging in and setting up your account is a breeze.

There are thousands of Joomla 1.5 templates available.  Templates are built using different types of code including HTML, CSS, and PHP. So if you are not very experienced with coding, most likely you are going to need to find a template that suits your company.  Here are some good websites to find both free and paid templates.

• Go Daddy
• Network Solutions
• Register.com

Here are a few suggestions.
