As we know Joomla is a CMS (Content Management System) which is great for managing dynamic web site content. The question is - can one use Joomla for static web sites?  The answer is yes.

I have an example for this - Sampoerna Corner - Airlangga University. I developed it with Joomla, because I really love working with Joomla.
