Joomla Made Simple

This is where the fun really begins...

Joomla's template system gives you a flexibility that is hard to compete with. It allows you to:

• Quickly and easily try out as many different styles as you'd like while designing your site. (There are literally thousands of free templates to choose from. Just try doing a search for "free Joomla templates" and you'll see what we mean.)
• Change the look and feel of every single page on your site in no more than a couple minutes.

To give you an idea of how templates work, the following are screenshots of an example site with different templates applied to it. In other words, it's the exact same content in each picture, just a different template.

Whether you like it or not, most visitors to your website will be making a 5-second decision as to whether or not they're actually going to bother to read anything on your site. If they don't like how your site looks, "click" and they're gone.

That's why choosing the right template for your site is one of the most important steps to online success. The right template will:

• Appeal to your target market, getting them to stick around for at least a few seconds.
• Match nicely with your site's topic and purpose.
• Give you the flexibility to customize the on-screen placement of your content.

Once you know the steps, downloading, installing, and testing out a new template on your site only takes a few moments.
