More Than One Way to Skin a Template

Joomla! is widely recognized as a CMS solution with templates in plentiful supply: template clubs, free templates, template frameworks, tools and generators*. The last two JoomStew shows have focused on what is under the hood of some commercial templates, and how to make templates usable. In our upcoming August 11 podcast, JoomStew Radio talks with freelancers Joe Sonne (JoeJoomla) , Dianne Henning, and Brian Sullivan, about how they approach adding a template to a new site. Do they custom build their own, or use a commercial template either out of the box or tweaked?

Homemade or instant?

JoomStew Radio – August 4, 2010 – Design Trends

This week's JoomStew Radio is the first broadcast that was pre-recorded due to the time differences of our guests. We thought it was the perfect opportunity to move the show away from Blog Talk Radio and keep the show hosted right here on the JoomStew Blog so you don't have to go anywhere else!

What sparked the idea for this week's topic on Design Trends was an article that Anthony Olsen published in the July issue of the Joomla Community Magazine entitled Joomla Template Design Trends in 2010.
