Hello! Can someone help me, I am new to joomla and would like to create my own template but I have no idea how to do it. Is it something I can do myself or is it very difficult? Does anyone have any ideas? I really don’t want to use one of the free templates..thanks!

In short, it is difficult to create a good template from scratch, and very difficult to create a really good template from scratch.

I’ve seen quite a few templates, including commercial ones, that break horribly if you resize the text or which fail, in my opinion, to adequately handle the range of possible content heights or widths that might occur. And these are just two of the most common problems.

To do it yourself, you will need to be:

* an experienced PHP, HTML, and (cross-browser) CSS programmer
* probably an experienced javascript programmer too
* good at locating and understanding API documentation
* good at reading other people’s code for examples
* very patient

in order to have a good chance at being successful.

There are certainly customizable templates (colors, textures, artwork), but to my knowledge there are no(t yet any) drag-and-drop or similar template designers.
