To design Joomla websites, you only need to follow five simple steps. While many Joomla website designers try to overcomplicate the process, it should not be necessarily so.
Without wasting your time and mine, here are the five steps that you have to take. You should note, however, that these are sequential steps. This means that you have to do the first one first, followed by the second, etc. While you may sometimes, be able to still build a Joomla site without actually following some of these steps sequentially, it is best not to do so. You will see why as we move along.
So, here is what you need to do.
1. Install Joomla: Well, you can’t actually do anything until after installing Joomla on your website. There are a number of ways to do this.
One of the most common two is to install the CMS using “Fantastico” on your hosting account Control Panel. This takes about 3 minutes at most and is the simplest and easiest way of installing Joomla.
The other way is to install it manually. This requires you to upload the Joomla installation package on your website. You will then follow the instructions to install it from there.
2. Configure Joomla: After successfully installing Joomla, you can now login to the Joomla Admin area or Backend to configure it. The directory of the admin area is the /administrator directory of your Joomla site. Therefore, if-for example- you installed Joomla on mywebsite.com, your admin area will be mywebsite.com/administrator .
Once you login, select the “Site” tab on the far left and click on the “Global Configuration” link. Follow the instructions here to configure your site, server and system information. This may take you anything from 3 to 10 minutes to finish.
3. Create Joomla Content: The next necessary step to designing your Joomla website is to create your content sections, categories and content items or pages.
The content sections are the broadest divisions of content on your Joomla site. The categories are the sub-divisions of content for each section.
The content items, pages or articles (as they are variously called) are the pieces of content that are posted under each category. For example,
to find your “How to Design a Joomla Website” article or page on your website, I may have to go to the CMS section, select the Joomla Category and there I will find the “How to Design Joomla Websites” article or page.
This content hierarchy will look like this:
Section ====> Category ===> Content Item/Page.
It is just a very simple and organized way of managing your content in Joomla.
Do note that you can have as many content sections, categories or content pages as you want. It is virtually unlimited. So, whether you are designing a Joomla article directory or just a simple niche website, you will still find that the Joomla CMS will serve your purpose all the same.
4. Create Menus: The Joomla Menu or site navigation system is divided into categories.
So, for example, you may have a menu category for your paid products, another one for your freebies and even another for your niche articles.
Now, under each category you will have menu items. So, if -for example-you want to have your paid products accessible from the same menu category, you may therefore, have an “Internet Marketing Products” menu category.
Under this, you will have one menu item that links to your blogging ebook, another menu item that links to your “social networking” course; and yet still another one that points to your traffic generation membership site. And so on.
You can also have any of the menu items point to a content section, category or page of your website. It is all about simple creativity.
5. Modify and Customize the Site: One good reason to design Joomla websites is that you can actually modify and customize your Joomla site as much or as little as you want to. So, we may both be using the same template, for example, but each of us can modify the template and rearrange the modules in such a way that the finished website may not look anything similar to the original site.
You can customize your Joomla website by:
• Installing new templates and modifying them according to your taste.
• Modifying and customizing existing templates that come with Joomla
• Installing new Joomla components
• Installing and modifying modules and changing their positions on the website.
• And so much more…
You can do these and more from the “Extensions” tab in your Admin area.
Without wasting your time and mine, here are the five steps that you have to take. You should note, however, that these are sequential steps. This means that you have to do the first one first, followed by the second, etc. While you may sometimes, be able to still build a Joomla site without actually following some of these steps sequentially, it is best not to do so.

Ask Ljubica for Your future!
Demandez Ljubica pour Votre avenir! Fragen Sie ljubica fur Ihre Zukunft! Pitajte Ljubicu za Vasu buducnost! ВАША СУДЬБА???? Unique and true...Ljubica clairvoyance for You. I am unusual, and different from many others ... eccentric, as one journalist described me. And how could I be the same as others, when I can see what others can’t. I did not ask for it, forces determined it themselves and to each and every one of us... including me. It is a very hard work. When you read the text about my work, you’ll surely be wondering how it is possible that one person can know what will come forward, for different time periods, individually and precisely. I know I always say what I see, but do not say all the ugly things in completely, because most people are not ready, nor want to hear ugly things ... We all want only happiness, love, health, money, beautiful events. How to achieve all that? No prescription and anyone who tells you that is not telling the truth. Who promises too much, know that isn’t telling the truth. When the number of lotto lottery, for example, could quite correctly be seen, I would not have worked for so many years and do the readings to so many people ... ones I would sit, for example, predict the numbers, got a huge amount of money and buy, for example, five villas in the world, ten yachts, three hotels eight restaurants, etc. Now you wonder how it is possible that have the ability to see, and it cannot see that?! The truth is that everything is determined by fate ... and I can not change it, neither other people’s, nor mine. I am given that much.... THEY decide how much and for how long I can go, how it will be, how I’ll live and what decisions I’ll make. All this I see for myself, as well as for others... There are forces that determine our faith at the moment of our birth. I could see the whole life to a small baby who was just born. How? It is written ... it is fate ... A hundred times I wanted to stop ... I’ve just had enough, and my desire to quit was big... Especially after the people who are unpleasant, and I feel it ... or when lying ... when you are humiliated, and they cynically look at you and think if this means anything at all? I can see all that and know exactly who is who, what’s that person like… The hardest is to work with people ... However a large number of those who listen, leave and come back again,,, They come for years and it makes me ... satisfied. Of course if there are good and beautiful things in question, but ... I've seen a lot of misfortune, death of small children and later, and it all happened... I regretted saying things like that. Or man, very honest, good, but in trouble, seriously ill, dies in pain ... and bad, evil, lying, living well.... Bad sometimes go through life much easier than good people ... Higher forces determine that... My job is quite hard and requires great concentration, and my relaxation and freedom to say ... all is very hard, but also great responsibility ... what will happen in the future, when I say something if I saw it correctly A few sentences for you who visit my website .. p.s. There are many “psychics” and “Healers "... In particular have emerged in huge numbers since the beginning of separation of Yugoslavia, is, the beginning of the crisis ... Without a job, they did not know how and what to do, and have declared their omnipotence… And everyone will understand that it is impossible to have so many of them in the territory of former Yugoslavia... And it's funny... But, on several occasions as a guest on TV 24 hours, I said that all those commercials and guest appearances on TV will stop ... and in two months it was forbidden. Now I write what I see ... All who don’t know will stop working which means there will remain only a few people in Europe.... |
