Test Out the Online Demo

You can really test out Joomla using our online demo at demo.joomla.org. Don't worry, you can't break it! You'll quickly discover how easy it is to create and manage content as well as learn your way around the Joomla administrator interface.

The demo site content is refreshed every 30 minutes. There are security precautions in effect to protect the privacy of other site users and to better ensure site stability. To test drive the demo site, you need to:

1. Create Account

   You must create an account with a valid email address. Once registered, your account is created, and an email is sent to your email address. This email will contain an account activation link.

2. Activate Account

   To activate your account click on the activation link contained in the email.

3. Use Demos

   Once your account is activated you are free to login to the public frontend and the administrative backend.

All user accounts are given Super Administrator access and can perform all functions except those that could be abused. Each demo user account remains active for one month. Feel free to use the new demo resource and to share it with others interested in exploring Joomla's capabilities.
