Joomla is based on PHP. Fairly involved PHP at that. I have one suggestion that may seem a bit off base, but look at Mura. Its a lot easier to modify than the equivalent template in Joomla.
With a combination of Mura, Open blueDragon or Railo, and jetty that may provide a better alternative. And from my own experience its far easier adapting a cf or html template to Mura than to Joomla. larry On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 12:07 PM, Matthew Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have a friend that knows nothing about web design that has been put in the > position of doing the website for an organization she is associated with. > > They bought her a copy of cs4 and some online training. > > I know her best bet is a template, and she has found a few that she likes. > Some are straight css/html, and some are joomla based. > > I can handle the css/html questions, and have pointed her to using > dreamweaver templates for that kind of site, but I know nothing about joomla > except that it is CMS. > > So, how hard is it to modify the Joomla template once purchased?
