Can a site like Quora be built using Joomla or a similar CMS?
A Quora-like website is a question-and-answer platform where users can post questions, provide answers, interact through comments, and engage with other users through profiles, messaging, and activity-based features.
At first glance, it may seem like any content management system (CMS) could be used to build this type of website. However, the key difference is whether those features are native to the system or assembled through external components.
So, short answer, you probably don't want to create your Quora-like

What is the best website developing a for e-commerce website? Can WordPress or Joomla be used or any other one?
Best one is UltimateWB. It has a built-in e-commerce app with lots of features - with WordPress or Joomla you have to find/install third party plugins. The more plugins you use, the more security risks, your website may load slower, and each time you have to upgrade your platform, your website functions may break because of plugin incompatibilities. UltimateWB is very flexible and customizable, and very fast and easy to use.

Many people choose Joomla because it’s a well-known name, but fame doesn’t always equal a good user experience. In reality, Joomla often comes with a “complexity tax” - it forces you to work much harder than necessary to get basic results.
To understand why it feels so “clunky,” and if it’s worth the effort, we have to look at why it was built this way in the first place and how that “legacy logic” affects you today.

Which CMS is user-friendly, WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla?
If you need to extend them with plugins/extensions to get the features you need, I don’t think either is very user friendly; but if you’re choosing among those because you want to use an open source program, I would go with WordPress. I prefer to use WordPress just for blogging, and UltimateWB for websites, which is very user friendly. You can build any type of website with it. With WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla you have to be very careful about

Which is better for a custom directory, WordPress or Joomla?
If you’re choosing between WordPress and Joomla to create a custom directory, the better one would be the one that you find a directory plugin for that you like - or if you’re a coder, the framework/set-up that you like better. With either platform, you have to extend the features to create a custom directory website; it’s not a built-in feature.

Joomla doesn’t have any e-commerce features built-in - but you can choose an e-commerce plugin to install and use.
