Starting off any web project can be a daunting task and for me it’s the hardest part of any project, it’s that first step into an unknown world of what am I going to do with this. The first step a developer needs to take is sitting down in front of the ole computer and having a look at the many templates available on the internet. This not only gives the developer and little help but also a little inspiration to boot.
To Template or not to Template
As a newbie to Joomla designing a template from scratch is not the worst thing I could do, it would give me the experience of learning the this new CMS and become a little more familiar with its inner workings and interface, however, using a template offers many advantages and allows us to see just how powerful Joomla can be. The web as many resources and all you have to do is go to Google and type in a search to be flooded with free online templates, here are my top five sites for Joomla Templates.
This project I'm about to undertake is part of a Emerging Technologies Class at AB Tech and it involves coming up with a working template for Art Space which is a charter school located in Asheville North Carolina. This project is a full blown database website that the school will use to let Students and Family know what is going on and fill out any necessary form that is required. I have chosen
Art Space Charter School
I think that any school should have a simple and welcoming site that is fresh and inviting for potential visitors, having said that I think warm color scheme would be the right choice. It also needs to be user friendly and have a clear navigation menu that allows parents and visitors and easy means to find what they are looking for. For this project I have chosen the Going to School Template.
The reason I chose this template is that is has the look and feel of a school already, with only the modifications to be made for my existing needs I think this would be a good starting ground for my project. The color scheme is simple and the text is easily read.
