    I can agree that WordPress is most popular than Joomla, but not that is better.

    The popularity of WordPress is due to negative campaign being waged against Joomla.
    The internet is overflowed with articles where some people talking absolutely lies and nonsense’s about Joomla.

    Joomla is powerful than WordPress.

    Well, It completely depends on what we actually want. There’s no such thing like winner. Every CMS is winner in its own way. The point is one needs to know how to use a particular CMS effectively. Those preferring WordPress might not find other CMSes exciting or vice-versa. Yes, the major problem if lies somewhere is in having a good website builder. People having little or no knowledge of coding falls in trap but it can be avoided. TemplateToaster known for its compatibility with all the major CMSes doesn’t require any coding knowledge and one can design unlimited number of responsive themes. Voila!
