• Your E-Mail: Enter your e-mail address. As a Super Administrator you will receive e-mail from your homepage.

• Admin password: Joomla! suggests a password. You can accept it or create a similarly complicated password. A simple one would be sufficient for a local installation.

Structure of a Joomla
This section explains the basic structure of Joomla!. The different functionalities offered by a CMS can be split up into a number of categories. These categories together form the structure of a CMS.

A CMS consists of a front end and a back end.
-The front end is the website—what the visitors and the logged-on users see.

-The back end, on the other hand, contains the administration layer of the website for the administrator. Configuration, maintenance, cleaning, creation of statistics, and new content creation are all done in the back end. The back end is at a different Uniform Resource Locator (URL) than the website.
