Menus and Modules
In Joomla!, a Menu is a set of menu items. Each menu item defines an URL to a page on your site, and settings that control the contents and style of that page. Additionally, each menu item has an alias that will be used to create human-readable URLs when Search Engine Friendly URLs are on. Menu items can have any number of subitems.
Modules are lightweight and flexible extensions used for page rendering. These modules are often “boxes” arranged around a component on a typical page. A well-known example is the login module.
