Installing Templates in Joomla by Jeff Hudson

Joomla is a template-based website builder. You build web pages based on available templates designed for Joomla. These templates can be downloaded for free or with a fee from many different sites on the Internet. If you are looking for a more professional template or one with personal touch, you can have a template customized per your specifications. It would be much better if you have the right knowledge in designing such templates so you can create your own.

Another thing to remember about Joomla is that the software is based on modules and positioning. The modules are the different contents of the web page. These modules can be positioned as desired. The template serves as the background and reference point.

Other modules and extensions can be added to the template and aligned or positioned depending on your preference. But for this particular tutorial, we will only discuss how to install a Joomla template.

Choose a Template

When you make a Google search on Joomla templates, you will get tons of websites offering different templates for free. Premium templates are offered upon subscription to their website. Browse through these sites and select the template you want to use for your site.

Once you have chosen your preferred template, download the file to your computer. Usually, the file is a compressed or zipped file. There’s no need to extract the file. You can directly upload it to your Joomla site.
