Advantages of Template Components Layout The Designs of the main layout are kept in templates for a Joomla site. This includes where users place different elements (components, modules, and plug-ins), which are responsible for different types of content. Color scheme Using CSS within the template design, users can change the colors of the backgrounds, text, links, etc as per their requirement using XML code. Images and effects Users can also control the way images appear on the page and even create flash-like effects such as drop-down menus. Fonts The designs for these are within the template's CSS file to create a uniform look and feel across the entire site, which makes it easy to change the whole look just by altering one or two files rather than every single page.
