Joomla is a very advanced CMS in terms of functionality. Getting started with Joomla is fairly easy, thanks to the Joomla's installer. Joomla's installer is meant to work on common, affordable shared hosting packages, and is a very straightforward considering how configurable the software is.
Joomla is very similar to Drupal in that it's a complete CMS, and might be a bit much for a simple portfolio site. It comes with an attractive administration interface, complete with intuitive drop-down menus and other features. The CMS also has great support for access control protocols like LDAP, OpenID and even Gmail.com.
The Joomla site hosts more than 3,200 extensions, so you know the developer community behind the popular CMS is alive and kicking. You can add just about any needed functionality with an extension. However, the Joomla theme and extension community relies more on paid resources, so if you're looking for customizations, be ready sped a little, but it's worth it. You can also grab Joomla plugins, or hire a Joomla developers to help you get your site, or online store set up right. Learn more about Joomla here.
