Joomla Vs WordPress

Which would you recommend for an institution/School website?

Depends with functionality that you are looking for, but in my opinion i find both very bulky but joomla much much more bulky. Is it a basic website or it has other module such as library, exam and student management? If this is the case, won’t advise either. And i don’t see why you should do a school website without such addons.

Depends on the budget!

What about value add… don’t you see the potential in this if the goon is able to smartly execute it? Beside some of this modules are readily available online.

It depend with the kind of school and its leaders. Some would be a waste of effort

I agree,
I foresee a situation where the client will need such modules/addons. Its a midlevel college, the budget isn’t much but due to the influence of the board want to do a neat job.

Haven’t seen any templates with such modules, been looking since morning. Point me to one…

Tumia wordpress, joomla is slowly fading used to love it but had to switch !, but if you really know your shit unge tumia Drupal, that thing is a monster but you have to know what your doing, to say it has a steep learning curve is being kind.
Only problem with Drupal it’s an overkill for most projects but it would be perfect for a big institution

There are other option such as odoocat : https://www.openeducat.org/ but you need some skills on it though i consider it superior of all.

I have been doing WordPress development for years and I can vouch for it since:
[ul]
[li]Its community is very helpful. [/li][li]It is easy to create custom solutions(plugins) [/li][li]Lots of existing free plugins that you can use for such a project. [/li][/ul]
A good start is to look for Learning Management WordPress Themes then you just customize to fit what you need. If you have any doubts let me know. Example this is one good theme - https://educationwp.thimpress.com/ you just pick it and customize it to fit your needs.

I find Joomla too restrictive especially availability of free high quality addons

This should be a joke

Let me have a look at it, will get back

Wordpress

How much are app, web developers paid per month in a software deveopment house? I know it differs but generally how much can one budget? HTML, CSS, PHP, Android, java, Javascript, etc is there a database where one can source them from for short projects?

Drupal. Most institutions even Ivy league universities have built their sites on top of the Drupal CMS. Learning curve is relatively steep compared to WordPress

Quite steep but like I stated if you know what ur doing it’s monster ! Joomla is a cessna , wordpress is an f16 , drupal is the whole fuckin factory you build what you want. Plust it pays a shit load project moja from a serious client your set for a year !

Hapo kweli. I’ve handled 2 Drupal side gigs this year and the returns were handsome.
