Joomla Template Creator

// April 19th, 2008 // Scripts, Sites, Software

I have found a much better product that not only makes templates for Joomla but also for Wordpress and Drupal. Please read this article: Wordpress and Joomla template creator

Do you want to make your own unique Joomla template but don’t have the skills do learn how to code on or don’t have time to learn? Well, this just got a lot simple. Joomlashack.com just released the new template creator. The template creator is free to use, but there also is a catch.

Like I said, the template builder is free to use. You can find it at Joomlatemplatebuilder.com and doesn’t even need a download. Everything is right from the browser. You will get a professional to that lets you choose colors, parameters, width of the template an much more. You will also get a live preview of what you are doing at any time. Sound cool no?


Well there is a catch. The tools is free to use and you will get a coda that you must copy somewhere in the template for the changes to take place. The problem is: in what template? This tools works with MyTemplate, a commercial template from Joomlashack.com that costs 39.99$. So even if you get the code you must paste it in that specific template if you want it to work.

MyTemplate is just like a back-end for all the templates created with this tool. Actually you only change some parameters in the template, you don’t write it from scratch (actually the tools doesn’t write it). So yes, the tools is free, but you must purchase the template for it to work. If you know other good template builders let us know:)

    Great! Thank you a lot, I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Isn’t there any downloadable version, any ‘program’ kinda software?

    I don’t know of any downloadable software to do this. At least not a good one that works with Joomla 1.5

    They have a dreamweaver extension that will help you build joomla templates.

    Would have been a good idea , if it wasnt fo the catch.
    Sure i know how to do it “manually”, but its still a pain, if you have a lot of stuff going on at the same time, and if you are on a short dead line, this tool would have been great. But the catch is to high a price. I want a software, locally that i can use as i please, i dont even mind paying for it as long as its good. Tried the joomla template kit, even bought it, was mostly crap. Waste of money.
