Joomla Template Blog

So I am a webdesigner… I primarily do actionscripting with flash. I do play with html too, and am now going to try and start freelancing and am looking to learn how to customize an open source CMS. I really like wordpress, but I feel it’s a bit limiting, and I really like concept of Drupal and Joomla, but feel that perhaps these are a bit overwhelming too. I don’t want to learn a whole new language (php), but I do want to use a CMS. What are your thoughts? Is it ok to customize open source themes for clients? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

It seems as though you already know the main differences, though wordpress can be customised heavily it is basically blog software, we’ve created a knowledgebase ourselves using wordpress though which works well and I’m sure there are many other good uses.

Drupal and Joomla are both great CMS and both have a roughly equal share of the market. You can achieve a lot of the same things between them, but it makes sense to choose one and focus your efforts upon it fully to gain a deep knowledge of it instead of spreading yourself and being average at both.

I would suggest you spend a day or two using both, and decide which you prefer then stick with it. You will be able to develop in either fine, and both are fully skinnable, you should read the license of open source themes but most will be fine to customise yourself even for commercial use.

Regards,

Darryl

I was wondering, how do you create custom themes for CMS such as Joomla, WordPress, Magento, etc? I know that I need a graphics program, but what else do I need? Also, how do I integrate it with the CMS?

Each CMS will have its own quirks, so it’ll probably be best to start with an existing template for that cms. It’s mostly just going to take some working with it to learn all the ins and outs.
