Notice of Default Template

When building a Joomla! website, creating a notice of default template is crucial to maintain consistency across all pages. After settling on the overall layout of your site, it's time to produce each page of content. A template plays a vital role in achieving this goal.

In some sections of your site, you may want to alter the general feel to indicate a different purpose for those pages (e.g., blog section). Additionally, you'll need to create a uniform look (fonts, header styles, color scheme, etc.) throughout every page. When crafting each web page, the location of most elements will remain consistent (menus, banner locations, sidebars, etc.).

Another essential task is deciding which content elements (components, modules, and plugins) to place in any given page. The aesthetic (look, feel, and layout) of your site is also crucial to consider.

Joomla!'s design separates the key tasks involved in producing a website for efficient maintenance. Templates are managed through the Template Manager, accessible on the Extensions menu in the back-end area of your site. You can also find many developers who create custom templates, both free and for sale, or explore other websites for more options.

When Joomla! is first installed, several templates are automatically included. Both the front-end and back-end of your site have templates. A template provides the framework that combines common elements, modules, components, as well as the cascading style sheet for your site. Ultimately, a template controls the overall look and layout of your website.

By utilizing a default template, you can ensure consistency across all pages of your Joomla! website while making it easy to maintain and update your content.
