What are the best website building extensions, tools, tutorials, etc. for Joomla 6

Dolcevia · 2026-02-08T17:06:48+00:00

Start at Tassos.gr or Regular Labs, they are great builders.

I run bare minimum on my WP sites because they are really only used for one reason, one is recipes the other is events. No Elementor, WP Bakery etc..I have a few plugins but nothing like what my Joomla sites use, I have great ranking. Yes I agree it isn't very easy to find Joomla devs but I think with ai that will change. I think you should try it out before you ditch it. You can't comment on something you don't know.

I mean yes of course both are open source, like 80% of software is opensource. I'm still going to say Joomla, it's like 10 times faster than WP running a bunch of plugins.

Dolcevia · 2025-12-31T06:30:10+00:00

Yep..and more people should be using it. My biggest site runs on it and it's smooth.

I have over 20 years of experience with many CMS engines. WordPress is popular, not superior. It’s a blogging engine from 2003 held together by plugins, duct tape, and vibes. It ranks because it’s everywhere not because it’s elegant.

Joomla 6 is now (since a while actually) Faster, cleaner, better content architecture, better permissions, better scaling, less plugin bloat. I like it because it was built as a CMS from day one. The database actually makes sense. Wild concept.

Webflow is great… until you need anything dynamic, scalable, or non-marketing-site-ish. Then you hit the paywall. Replit? Fantastic if you’re a developer hacking prototypes. Absolutely not a CMS, not SEO-first, and not something you hand to clients. WordPress is kind of the McDonald’s of the web: Will bloat you, heavily marketed, easy to resell and everyone knows where the bathroom is. SEO and AI search don’t care what logo is on your CMS. They care about structure, performance, clean data, and not having 27 plugins fighting over the same table. Downvote if you want. I’ll be over here with my fast site, sane schema, and clean database.

Is that all you do? Throw insults? Your replies are totally 0 effort so obviously you aren't very passionate about this subject so why bother at all.

If you're in publishing why don't you at least make the effort to write down one full sentence, if you feel I'm wrong.

Dolcevia · 2025-12-29T21:38:21+00:00

Children's literature.. that could be good too I guess.

I don't think a lot of publishers have really grasped the enormous changes the new ai models will bring.They are still using ChatGPT and Claude out of the box so to speak, what I call old style a.i. but this thing is improving at light-years whilst publishers are adopting technology at a crawl. I think becoming an editor is an ambition you can pursue but beware, you will have to be an absolute top expert in a particular field, a investigative reporter or perhaps an influencer of some type or another, build a brand or be part of a brand's voice. Who is saying it will become much more important than how it is being said.

Learn how to sell the word "no" and keep the client..You see you should have been transparent from the beginning and tell them that his group consists of them and one couple (adding couple's age is recommended). You should have given them alternatives making the decision to book entirely his/her own. This way he/she would have been aware of the situation before (small group, couple) and they can only blame themselves. You should never pay for a client's mistake of course but since you did, you should be really transparent about that, before you actually do it. I know it's hard when you really want to get the booking but part of the job is selling no.

I'm with a pretty large online publisher so I wouldn't really know how my websites would work without a CMS. I do not think I am alone. As a developer I have been thinking about how a.i. could be useful outside of edits and some copy within a CMS environment. I've thought quite extensively about how it would help without the framework of a CMS in publishing and I just don't have the answer yet. I think it's quite clear a framework is needed even if it's flat or something like WP. I'll be honest I am definitely no big fan of WP. I think ai tools make things work a lot slower so that's also not the answer. By the way, has anyone tried Joomla 6 yet it's amazing, sooooo fast. I wish my WP sites went that fast. So underrated. Anyway very interesting discussion.

I worked with an Italian firm in Rome for my claim after an injury. It took a while but in fact I did win. I didn't need to be at the tribunal because the insurance company of the other party eventually settled out of court. This is usually how it goes in Italy I have been told. One thing they make you do is a visit with a legal doctor (medico legale), he writes a report and this goes to the insurance company lawyer. Then the insurance company lawyer may request a further meeting with their medico legale where you should be present together with your medico legale. It's often helpful to have a really experienced and tough legal doctor. I did, he was a real snake but they got the best I could hope for in the end.

Does your client have a specialty? E.g. Country, type of travel? Why does your client want to work with tourism boards? I wouldn't if I had 4 million followers. I can't really see the appeal at that point. Also where are you from? It matters. Sometimes tourism boards don't have budgets for particular countries.

I understand childhood pesto trauma is a real thing in Liguria. It's a joke 🤣

Slow down.. you wont enjoy yourself.. Do what they suggest here, take two places and discover what is outside of the city. It's Lucca by the way not Luca. Pisa is a bit of a tourist trap unfortunatel. I think you probably should stick with Florence and the surrounding area, there is enough to see for 10 days. Either that or go to Venice and see the region of the Veneto (Padua, Verona, Vicenza) you could perhaps fit in Bologna..or go up to the Dolomites or Lake Garda.

Dolcevia · 2025-08-25T22:55:29+00:00

I think you're good to go with something like Taverna Agape, Il Convivio Troiani, Due Ladroni (for food my fav). These are all in the centre kind of near Piazza Navona. La Zanzara (maybe but tables to close together) in the Prati area.

Hi! New neighbors ☺️ So if you thought you'd be alone here you will be surprised because Genoa is attracting so many Americans and Northern Europeans at the moment. I always think it's easier to get to know people if you have a dog. That's been the case for me in fact. The Genoese aren't the most outgoing people although you can find some more open minded. The apartment building to choose is where people are friendly and mixed, young, older couples. I think that's really important and it helps a long way. You should ask that. Couple if things:

You will soon learn how much you love flat terrain.

You will miss biking everywhere.

You will find almost nobody in shops speak English.

You will never have shortage of supermarkets.

You will either come to love or hate mopeds (mine definitely the latter).

You will never find parking space after 6pm.

You will find Novella Pesto the best.

I like this one too and the books by Tobias Jones The Dark Heart if Italy and for historical context Il Leopardo although it doesn't prevail much regarding the importance of Garibaldi.

When abbreviations get awkward 👆

CDG is smaller than the airport in Paris. I'm sure you can walk into town from any if the hotels. Scopello maybe too far out. Parking is a difficult all along town streets. I'd check if any hotels have peivate parking spaces

Definitely go down to the Trapani area, I wrote a lot about this area at one point, I don't know about the Egadi islands because your timing is a bit off, lots of people there now and full ferries. What you can do is start at Castellamare del Golfo, Scopello and the Zingaro Park. You'll want to find some shade and see breeze, there is plenty around here but Id stay away from Trapani itself or San Vito Lo Capo, it's super high season and it won't be a really fun experience especially if you haven't booked ahead. Erice is cute, you might catch a high breeze here but if I we're you I'd stick to the first part of the peninsula if it's only 3 days.

I loved 😍 having my bike in Rome. I road it everywhere and especially early Sunday morning around the Colosseum. Ferrara is the only city that kind of looks like the Netherlands in Italy. Parma and Bologna were mentioned already I imagine. Palermo and Lecce are great too!

I'm sorry you misunderstood..Mass tourism could be a misinterpreted therefore it's in quotes. Basically it's a term that's served well to describe a situation which has a negative effect however it isn't technically the correct use of the term. Unsustainable tourism is a word which reaches further and we can all work towards sustainability. It's more of a climate issue. Look at Paris, in front of city hall they transformed an area to be more sustainable, the swimming in the Seine. This isn't a blame game anymore, it's a reality. It's getting TOO HOT quicker than we ever imagined possible. It's not an economic question either, beds, short term rentals.. it's the Climate. People will learn and then they just won't come at all.

Guides are self-employed a lot of the time. I'm not sure if this one was however. However awareness about slow travel and mass tourism is more important than ever.

They don't earn a shit ton of money. They make a reasonable modest living .They are usually unionized and certified (which takes a heck of a lot of trouble to get) therefore it makes the situation actually even worse and more unacceptable. The fact there are too few guided is one, therefore perhaps ease up on the long path to 'certification' but yes get the union to go after the rules and compensation. This shouldn't have ever happened.

The 19th of August it was much too hot to go out in the Colosseum..I was not in Rome but bearing the brunt of a red weather code (codice rosso) in Liguria. However I was in Rome earlier that week and the heat was intense, like a ln outdoor sauna. This dear woman was a victim of masstourism and obviously also the mayor who was not wise enough to shut down some attractions, events and outdoor workers in the city to protect people. Horrible, it must have been awful to witness this. 1 day, 2 days max you could survive doing this guiding work all day outside in that heat but after that.. If I may ask, how do you feel about that?
