How to build a bespoke Joomla template. Learn skills to design any website from scratch; understand styles and design considerations.
Although there are many great page builders out there that can help you to rapidly build a beautiful website, building a bespoke Joomla! template is not so difficult. Once I learned this I realised that it was almost as quick to build a template in this way, but without the bloat.
When you attend this talk I will show you how to create a totally bespoke template from scratch. I’ll show you how to create module positions, add CSS and JavaScript and explain how the templating system works. I knowing and understanding this you will learn a little bit more about Joomla! and possibly also yourself.
I’ll use a GitHub repository to show my work and this will mean you can code along too if you would like to.
I’ll show:
- A real world application of the knowledge
- How to include Bootstrap or any other framework
- and how to use SCSS within your files without needing to know much about coding
- How to build the menu structure (easily)
I look forward to you joining me, please share this talk so I can get as many viewers as possible and help Joomla! to become more accessible to all.

The template is now built and installs in both Joomla! 3 and in Joomla! 4. It's not tested very much in the real world in J4 but it installs.
