To get started with Joomla development, go to Joomla’s website and use their downloads portal. By following the instructions laid out for you on the site itself, you can see the basics of how to make your website. You also have access to the forums and discussions where anyone in the community is able to ask questions and learn more about the process. Since this site is for beginners, you can also go to an online form of the site at launch.joomla.org. There, you can begin using Joomla without having the commitment of downloading the application to your hard drive.
