Web site companies can make customized web sites by doing some changes in the main menu. Both the platforms offer those changes. Few features of both are discussed here.
• WordPress is easier to use than Joomla as Joomla has few complex features. This is the reason that many people prefer WordPress than Joomla. Joomla has more features than WordPress so it makes it bit difficult for the user that is the disadvantage but on the other side user gets more features is an advantage.
• Joomla is considered as an advanced content management system while WordPress is only blog software. Joomla offers many features and templates which almost covers every industry. If you are in need of a simple website than WordPress is easy for that but for the complex websites with many features then always use Joomla for that.
• WordPress is already optimized with Google and it has default settings for Search Engine Optimisation. WordPress pages always rank high on the Google because of its SEO friendly content. Joomla can also rank high on the Google but it needs Search Engine Optimisation.
• WordPress is good only for the websites which publish informational content. It is easy to create the complex websites with Joomla. It gives excellent results in complex websites as it offers many features. Joomla is best for the small as well as for the complex websites too. It is best for the customized websites. WordPress also has feature of plug-ins but it is not as advanced as Joomla.
