We use Joomla to create Public Involvement sites to support construction projects that are in progress to get information out to the general public in various states. We create these site for external clients. Quick deployment of these sites there is minimal effort needed to get a site up and running.
Pros
Available templates that are easy to customize and deploy almost immediately
Great open source so a lot of available documentation/support to help with issues
Easy to use interface and easy to hand off to client to update on their on with minimal support from us.
Cons
More embedded templates for menu, header, slide show and footer customization instead of having to implement 3rd party modules.
More in-built templates to select from so there is no need to look for other templates to customize to have some basic layout with responsive design.
Better security measures would help some sites that have been hacked in the past. We were able to control that through the cPanel through our hosting services.
Likelihood to Recommend
Quietly likely to recommend Joomla!. It is one of our preferred CMS for small PI sites.
