Templates

Templates give your Joomla website its look and feel.

Your website Template determines:

• Layout
• Colours
• Typefaces
• Graphics

As well as other aspects of design that makes your website unique.

Your installation of Joomla comes prepackaged with two frontend templates - this is what your site visitor(s) see, plus two backend (Administrator area) templates - the Administrator area is where you go to administer your website.

So, quite conveniently, Joomla comes ready to use.

However, there are many, many Joomla template developers and businesses - many offering two levels of template accessibility: Free templates, and for-a-fee templates.

Most of those template developer websites also have a 'Demonstration' (Demo) version of each template - on their own website - so you can get something of an idea of what it looks like.

Before using a free, or paid-for template check for things such as:

- Compatibility with Joomla version
- Compatibility with your server PHP version
