Learn to design websites Joomla in 5 easy steps


To design Joomla websites, you only need to follow five simple steps. While many Joomla website designers try to overcomplicate the process, not necessarily so.

Without wasting your time and mine, here are the five steps you should take. Note, however, that these are sequential steps. This means that you must do that first first, followed by the second, etc.While it can sometimes be able to build a Joomla site without actually following some of these steps sequentially, you better not do it. you'll see why, as we move.

So here's what you have to do.


Install Joomla: well, you can actually do anything until after the installation of Joomla on your website.
There are a number of ways to do it. One of the two most common is to install the CMS using "Fantastico" on your hosting account, control panel. This takes about 3 minutes or less and is the easiest and simplest installation of Joomla. The other way is to manually install. Therefore, you must load the package installation of Joomla on your website. You will then follow the instructions to install it from there. Configure Joomla:
After you have successfully installed Joomla, you can now login to Joomla Admin area or Backend to configure it. The admin area's directory is the directory of your Joomla site/administrator. Therefore, if-for example-you have installed Joomla on mywebsite.com, your admin area will be mywebsite.com/administrator. Once logged in, select the tab "Site" on the left and click on the link in the "global" configuration. Follow the instructions here to configure your site, the server and the information system. This can take anything from 3 to 10 minutes to finish. Create content of Joomla: the next step necessary to design your Joomla site is to create content sections, categories and pages or content elements.Content sections are wider divisions of content on your Joomla website.Categories are the sub-sectors of content for each section. content items, pages or articles (as they are called variously) are the pieces of content that are placed in each category; for example, to find your article "How to design to Joomla Website" or the page on your website, I may have to go to CMS section, select the category of Joomla and we will find the article "How to Design Joomla Websites" or page. This hierarchy contained will look like this:

Section == == === > Category > Item/page content.

It's just a very simple way and organized to manage your content in Joomla. Note that you can have many content sections, categories or content pages as you want.
Is practically unlimited. So, if you are designing an article by Joomla directory or just a simple niche Web site, yet you find that the CMS Joomla will serve your purpose all the same.Create menus: site navigation system or the Joomla menu is divided into categories.So, for example, may have a category from the menu to your paid products, another one for your freebies and another for your niche articles.Now, within each category you will need to menu items.So, if you want-for example-to have your paid products accessible from the same category from the menu, then, can have a category of "Internet Marketing products" from the menu.Under this, you will have a single menu item that links to your eBook blogging, another menu item linking to your "social network" of the course; and still yet another one that points to your site traffic generation membership. and so on. Also you can have any of the menu item select a content section, category or page of your website simple. it's creativity.Edit and Customize the site: a good reason for designing websites Joomla is that you actually can change and customize your Joomla site as much or as much as you want. Thus, we can both be using the same model, for example, but each of us can change the template and rearrange the modules so that the finished Web site cannot look something similar to the original site "you can customize your Joomla website from:

-Installation of new models and modifying them to suit your taste.
Edit and customize existing templates that come with Joomla
-Installation of new Joomla components
-Installation and edit forms and change their positions on the website.
-And much more ...

You can perform these and more from the "Extensions" tab in your Admin area.

Joomla Tutorials-how to design Web sites of any type from Joomla-part 2


You can design Joomla Web sites of any type that you want. All you need is a good understanding of how does Joomla CMS, a sound vision of what you want to achieve and a knowledge or tools that may be available to you.

Website Directory: once you learn Joomla and understand its potential, you can see very easily as you can create a Joomla business directory or any directory for that matter. To list the local businesses in your block online? Yes you can! How about a directory of all professionals jazz band and musicians in your city? Yep, that too! OK, what is a directory of all professional rumor mongers in your neighborhood? If you don't mind being the next "feature story," Yes you can!;) If your mind can conceive it, you can create it with Joomla."C'est tres simple!", as the French would say! J

Community site: you can also design a website Joomla for the local community, interest group, social club or even village. All you have to do is install Joomla extensions just to get the calendar events, local news (national and even worldwide), transmitted to the website, weather forecasting, etc., up and running.If you have ever felt frustrated on how the community is or have felt a desire to help, a Joomla-powered website is a free and invaluable to help them and make the greatest impact on all! Hey, could also be a good way to start building his political career. " I built the first community Web site to keep our people in sync with their Government and the outside world and informed.Therefore, to vote for me and not for Joe Nothington!";

Joomla Video Portal: If you have ever wanted to have your YouTube-type of website, but the cost of developing one was prohibitive or you just can't wrap my head around it, a Joomla video portal (aka video networking site) maybe just the solution that you never knew existed. you can have users create accounts, post videos, comment on interesting videos, invite their friends to join them, create contests "video of the month" to make your site viral and get more traffic and users and also start charging Geico and Allstate (large Pocket insurance) when I came to beg to advertise on your portal video. now, tell me, who don't seriously COOL?:

As I said at the beginning of this article, you can design and create Joomla websites of any kind, if only you dedicated to Joomla learning and as a result of using it.
