Joomla comes with a very rich and powerful featureset, yet one of its most compelling features is how extensible Joomla is through the addition of third party enhancements. Hundreds of Joomla enhancements are available in a variety of categories: Templates are available in an almost endless variety. Some are professional, others very creative. A great deal of the templates available are free. Some are designed to showcase the skills of the template designer in hopes you will contact them for design of a custom template for your website. Components are major functionality being added to your Joomla website. Some examples including a discussion board, calendaring system, web gallery, file upload and download control, and much more. Modules are like windows you display on your Joomla website. Individual modules can be configured to display certain information in particular circumstances. Examples include display of random images from a collection you specify, upcoming events of the next four weeks from a Joomla calendaring component, the latest posts on a discussion board. You can easily make your own modules for specific requirements on your own site. Mambots are special functionality you add to your Joomla website, primarily to simplify or enhance functionality for your site administration. Examples include choosing from a variety of powerful visual editors available for easily designing your site pages, automatic disguising of email addresses posted on the site to defend against spambot harvesting, simplified link creation to your file downloads while building a new web page.
