Joomla!
Open-source PHP content management system for building websites
Joomla! is a free, open-source content management system (CMS) for building websites and web applications. It provides an admin interface for creating and organizing content, managing users, and extending functionality via a large ecosystem of extensions and templates.
Key Features

- Extension and template system for adding features and customizing design
- Built-in multilingual capabilities
- User, role, and permission management with multiple access levels
- SEO-friendly features and mobile-ready theming support

Use Cases
- Public websites for organizations, communities, and small businesses
