Try and use as few modules as possible though. The core joomla framework/CMS itself is seemingly quite secure, but a huge chunk of the modules that you can add-on to it (calendar widgets etc) are horrific as far as security is concerned.<br>

Many thanks - I have a contact with a half-finished site, who needs it<br>
finished and polished off, so I should be able to do that for him, then. I<br>
note that it&#39;s in PHP so I imagine swearing will be a major component.<br>

&gt; Joomla is a web content management system (as a basic description). Anyone<br>
&gt;  with web design skills should be able to pick up it&#39;s nuances quite<br>
&gt;  quickly. It&#39;s similar to drupal but (I have been told) not as powerful.<br>
&gt;  Lots of people seem to swear by it though.<br>
