It's licensed under the GNU/GPL license, easy to install and administer and reliable.

User Rating: / 18 Written by Editor in Chief    Thursday, 20 October 2005 Joomla templates make it easy to change the look and feel of a Joomla! website. There are two types of Joomla templates, the site (frontend) template and the admin template. The Joomla! site template is easy to develop by just following the Joomla! template framework. The mosMainBody() is the main function that outputs the component data. The mosLoadModules() function outputs the Joomla! module data that was assigned to it.
