A template is a face of a website. It directly controls how the information is structured and presented within a site. The template provides the first impression of a website to its visitors. Hence, the importance of a web template cannot be underestimated.  Joomla, one of the foremost CMSes in the world, provides ample provisions for integrating attractive Joomla templates to Joomla sites.

Joomla on its own comes with three free Joomla templates, namely - Milky Way, Beez and JA Purity. Among these three templates, Joomla treats Milky Way as its default template. However you can play around with these Joomla templates until you are fully satisfied with the way your Joomla web site looks.

There are several templating possibilities with Joomla.  First and foremost you can switch between the provided templates. Second, you can assign more than one Joomla template for the front end of your Joomla website. In addition to these features you can embed several parameters to your Joomla web site according to your choice. These parameters or elements adjust the behavior of a template such as: the template color or the whole layout of the Joomla template by uniquely positioning the components, modules and plug-ins within the Joomla template.

Web design is greatly influenced from Print design, its older brother. Web designing consists of using several elements such as font, color, spacing, pictures, audio and visual to creatively and effectively convey messages to the net consumers. Compared to other branches of knowledge web design is quite young.  The printing process was born in China long time ago where as Web designing is a relatively new term. Wikipedia ¹ cites the 1922 essay “New Kind of Printing Calls for New Design” by William Addison Dwiggins for using the term “Graphic Design” for the first time. Subsequently, web design underwent a series of changes along with the emerging internet technology tied to ever evolving computing hardware and software standards.
