Joomla Templates

Recommended Posts

The many question which bugs me and i'm sure other Joomla users is which is the best template provider. The only good ones i'm aware of are Yootheme and Rockettheme.I intiially used Yootheme. THeir templates looked great, they add several features (mainly from their Yootools). The layout is generally good , not to clustered as Rockettheme can be sometimes. Unfortuanetly they have only released about 25 templates. - One a month.The major problem I have is customizing the templates, it is much more confuding and they don not have very many tutorials for templates. The templates also tend to be slower than any other ones I have tried. Despite this their templates are still very high quality.Eventually i discovered Rockettheme. They immediately seemed better than YOOtheme ( i first saw there DEC 08 Vertigo template with the paralax effect - WOW!) The templates seem to load much faster and be the same high quality. They were more customaizable but I did find them too clustered. I prefer a sytligh yet simple layout. Another great thing is they now provide phpbb3 styles. So my site can have a matching forum! Anyone know any better template providers or perhaps is aware of tutorials or resources for the above providers. All help is appreciated. Cheers!

Thanks for starting this thread, as I've been thinking of upgrading from a Cutenews format to Joomla (watch as SM, JH, and BH run for cover!). Has anyone hosted here use Joomla successfully? If so, I should very much like to follow your protocol, so as to save the forementioned Masters much torment and agony.

My opinion, no such thing as the "best template provider" only best for "you."

It can easily be said that "RocketTheme" is too busy, bloated, too many bells & whistles.  While it's also easy to say "PixelParadise" doesn't offer enough features.

It's all based on what "you" need/want. Every website will have it's own requirements based on content matter & presentation.

Hi guys!Looking through your posts, I discovered that one of the greatest Joomla template providor is not listed above:https://www.joomlart.com/
In my opinion, their templates are the best with their out of the box modules. Give it a try!

I feel that the best template is the one you make yourself. Use other's templates to learn how things are done (the effects you want) but overall try to customize them to how you want them to be.As for whether to go with a free or paid template... Really just depends on exactly what you want. There are many free templates that would work for most users but there are also many paid ones that would as well.
