The default Joomla!^® installation contains enough for you to build your website.

However, there are thousands of extensions available in the Joomla Extension Directory ( JED).

UsingJoomla.com wants to highlight a small handful of "Must Have" tools and extensions.

Some of the tools listed below - such as ftp client, and local file editor, are installed onto your computer or laptop and are very useful when administering your website.

In case you are wondering - Yes - we do use these tools on UsingJoomla.com or for site file administration, or where used locally we use these locally installed tools too.
