# Joomla 4: a new beginning

**JoomlaDay Italia · Turin — October 27, 2018**

> A preview of Joomla 4 and its main changes: the Atum admin template, the Cassiopeia frontend template optimised for SEO and accessibility, the new Media Manager and native publishing workflows for multilingual business environments.

At JoomlaDay Italia in Turin I brought a preview of **Joomla 4**, the release that marked a genuine
"new beginning" for the project after years of Joomla 3.

The talk walks through the changes that matter for anyone building serious sites: the new **Atum**
admin panel, cleaner and more usable; the stock **Cassiopeia** template, rethought around **SEO** and
**accessibility** rather than aesthetics alone; the new **Media Manager** with adaptive image
editing; and above all the native **Publishing Workflows**, the editorial flows designed for
newsrooms and business environments, often multilingual.

The thread is that Joomla 4 was not a simple restyle: it was the platform aligning itself with modern
needs for performance, accessibility and editorial processes. A preview of where the ecosystem was
heading.
