We are the Adobe Experience Manager to Joomla migration experts

Challenges with Adobe Experience Manager

While highly capable, Adobe Experience Manager's complexity and cost can be significant barriers for smaller businesses. It can also be very, very slow if not set up correctly.

The platform requires substantial investment in both licensing and operational resources, making it more suited to large enterprises. Its comprehensive feature set can result in a steep learning curve and prolonged implementation periods.

Organizations may face challenges in navigating AEM’s extensive capabilities without specialised expertise, potentially increasing the dependency on Adobe-certified partners for successful deployment and ongoing management.

If you see the word specialised, you know you're going to recieve an invoice with an extra 0 on the end. If you're considering scrapping it and moving to something significantly faster, we've got you covered.

Benefits of Joomla

Trying to convince someone to use Joomla in 2025 feels like recommending Internet Explorer. But hey, if you must use it, there are a few redeeming qualities. Joomla does have some genuinely solid features. Native multilingual support without plugins is impressive. Its permission system is more detailed than most enterprise platforms, and the modular structure gives developers a lot of freedom to architect complex, multi-section sites. If you’ve got a big team with lots of editors and need granular control, Joomla won’t fall apart on you.

If you’re absolutely set on Joomla (and we can’t stop you), we’ll point you toward an agency that still proudly builds 2008-core-web-vital-failing templates. Or you can talk to us, and we’ll at least make sure you don’t regret every step of the journey.

Key advantages

Native multilingual support

Joomla ships with multilingual features baked in, so you don’t need a plugin graveyard just to run a site in five languages. It handles translations cleanly and is genuinely one of the few CMSs that gets this right out of the box.

Granular user permission system

Its ACL system is its biggest bragging right. You can lock down roles, workflows, and access rules with a level of control that most CMS platforms still envy.
