How to Change and Customize Joomla Templates
Joomla templates are what you will use to plan and design the layout of your Joomla website. They may limit your web design options. On the other hand, you need little knowledge of PHP or HTML to create and manage a dynamic, powerful website.
When you install Joomla, it comes standard with at least two default templates. These can be found under the templates manager. To get a preview of each template, hover your mouse cursor over its name. You have the option of installing a different template, or you may change or customize the default template. To switch to a different template, click on its radio button and then click on the default button in the menu bar.
