==Project II: New frontend template: Page-builder==
 
===Project Description===
Joomla is already in some ways a page builder in the way it builds its template (you set up a base page and add in dynamic numbers of modules and component). This project aims to bring this one step further. The page builder template rebuilds the index.php and the template.xml in a GUI component in the backend of the template.<br />
Depending on the status of web services, it might be a com_ajax plugin and template. <br />
This project is aimed at multiple students and multiple GSoC editions and one of the long term projects of Joomla.

==Project III: Joomla SEO Improvements==
 
===Project Description===
Joomla! Is a CMS used by ca. 7 % of websites of the web. For our CMS we are looking for talented GSoC students that help improve our SEO. For this purpose, an SEO plugin for the backend needs to be created. It will consist of multiple fields as well as Facebook (open graph) and Twitter cards as well as some checks and overrides in comparison to the system today. If you have an interest in SEO and you are looking to create quality code, this project is just waiting for you! Apply now!

Project V: Joomla 4 Accessibility

Project Description

While accessibility in everyday life is already being considered in many places, in the areas of web design and web development, it is only treated negligently.

The Joomla Project already invested a lot of work in making Joomla 4 the most accessible CMS out there. The goal for this project is to improve the level of accessibility in Joomla 4 even further.

Therefore it’s not enough to focus on an accessible backend for Joomla but we also need to support the users and editors in providing accessible content throughout the whole webpage.

The two biggest challenges are:

- Support the users and editors in providing accessible content even if they are not trained in the field of accessibility (by providing supportive technologies)

- Help users navigate through multiple navigations and numerous elements on a site, as in the Joomla backend.
