Hey there. This is my first time setting up my own Joomla website. Any help is apprieciated!

My Questions are:

- How do you actually buy a Template. I know theres plenty of sites selling them, but how does it work. Can I just do a one off payment and then download the Template to host via FTP?

- How much can you alter a template? Like this for example: http://joomla.siteground.com/index.php?mos_change_template=siteground58

Could I make ‘Easy customization’ and ‘Free themes’ appear in the one column so all the news is visable without it being cut off.
Could I change the Green font and lines to a different color?
Could I add a subnavigation? So when I hover/click something in the top right navigation, there is pages WITHIN those pages. So if you had multimedia, you could have Music and Videos as pages within.

Sorry for all the ‘could i’, but basically I want to know how much I can alter and customise the templates.

- Thanks, any other useful bits of information are welcome

You can alter VERY much of the joomla template. The best way to learn how to do all this is to get a PAID membership at either one of these 2 template sites – www.joomlart.com or www.rockettheme.com

Both these sites have a VERY VERY live and strong userbase. The community there will be happy to help do simple things like changing the logo, colors, or re-sizing and adding boxes and stuff. Don’t bother with the free stuff. Stick to either one of those 2 sites and get tons of free help from the forums. That’s the best place for a joomla newb to start.

I am wondering if anyone can either explain or find an in-depth tutorial about how to change a full Photoshop template (like this: http://psdtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/137_Dark_Theme/final.jpg) into a usable template that would work with a CMS? (Joomla!)

Could someone please explain me the process? (I have basic/intermediate knowledge of web design)

I assume I would have to cut it up in Imageready (or Fireworks), and export it as an HTML document, but I don’t know what to do from this point on.

Thanks to any/all who can help.

Not that easy a process. Most of the freelancers that I’ve seen do it get it to look ok in joomla but they are not skilled enough in template design to take into account all the cross browser compatibility issues.
Your best bet is to let the experts do it and know it is being done right. Check out Shape5 . They make commercial Joomla templates and have a custom service to turn psd’s into joomla templates. Just my 2 cents…
