I have a website and recently installed Joomla!, but I cannot get it yet. I need a tutorial or a manual, specially about how to create templates for it.

I am starting a college website which will be maintained by students
And I need to decide between these 2.
Also any good theme you like for Joomla?
For those of you saying WordPress, I need a website and not just a blog
For those of you saying WordPress, I need a website and not just a blog also I need themes for it.
Joomla ALL THE WAY.
Go to www.quietactioninc.com
It is a website I own and manage. It is built using ONLY Joomla and its extensions.
You can torrent down all of the templates & use them.
Good templates from yootools & youjoomla, rockettheme too.
You can install a lot of templates and switch when you want.
Also, its the EASIEST to use, especially if you want students to maintain it, (they will not need to know anything about programming, etc).
Once again, I use Joomla, I love it, It makes for a better site, and lastly Drupal comes with THOUSANDS of less templates and extensions, if they even have 1000.
Get extensions easily, don’t need to program them, Joomla.
I am brand new to Joomla. I have installed Joomla on my Windows PC (XAMPP, Apache, MySQL, PHP). I have created just a sample site just to see if it works.
Now, I want to create professional visually stunning sites, and I’m stuck. I appreciate Joomla.org for providing this nice CMS platform, but I need more than what they offer. With the parameter-based CMS, it’s so cumbersome to get nice looking web elements that you want ready to use like tabs. Do I just need to install custom templates? Where can I get free Joomla templates that looks nice. Please, give me a link to high quality templates. I’m not looking for blog-style templates with simple headers like WordPress.org or Blogger.com. I’m looking for high quality Joomla templates that have the visual presence as well as complex programming elements such as shopping carts using PayPal, opt-ins, user login form and database. Please help. Are there any free ones? I’m willing to pay if the prices are reasonable. Thanks.
Thanks, cazpa. I didn’t see yours until after I posted this one.
Thanks, B Smith. I appreciate your info as well.
Thanks fish out of water and technojunkie.
I appreciate everyone’s help.
If you can design a site in html you can make a template for joomla.
Design your site with what want, custom for your needs. Then plug in modules where you need them to be driven by the CMS system.
I work for a web design company that uses Joomla as our main CMS. We design custom templates for every site… so I really don’t know of a good place to download them.
It is really not hard to make a custom template for you needs. I say look in the default template for the "calls" for the different sections. Like User1, User2, Left, etc. Then you stick those in your layout and assign modules to those areas in the admin.
As far as logins and a database, those are standard, any other features you need (paypal linking modules, etc) you can just search for them online and install them in the admin.
Once they are installed, you can just assign them where you want just like the standard features.
Good Luck.
Go to http://www.joomla24.com/ and you might find some templates for it. Anyway, if you still can’t find something, go to 99Designs.com and launch a contest.

What happen if we use joomla club template without buy it?
Posted in Joomla Theme on 14.08.09
I want to make a website by using joomla,and i found a template with suitable to my website theme.I don’t have a lot of money to spend to buy that template..so,my friend ask me to search at wares website..so,what do you think?,if i use it,is it anything may happen?..i hope so i can get respond from web developer..
They will find you though the Yellow Pages, hack your Tivo to only record old episodes of The Golden Girls and fill you mail box with garage-sale flyers from bankrupt Indian pharmaceutical companies specialising in online sales of potency drugs…
..OK maybe they will never notice as there is no ‘call back’ that can be easily built into a template.
Sure all these can be found as torrents etc. but it must be a real bummer if you are trying to build a business and people steal your stuff when it only costs the price of a couple of nights out.
Many such run as clubs so for around 75$ a year you can use 67 current + 12 future templates.
Check out the cool Rocket Theme also have free templates which are just as cool:
http://www.rockettheme.com/
or another one which has an amazing complete template system is Yoo Theme:
http://www.yootheme.com/
It is really not necessary to steal one with the ton of good free templates that appear with a simple search. It is also SO SO easy to build your own – check out these tutorials:

All the best,

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.
