The more I learn about Joomla, the more I like it.

Would it be considered reasonable to expect a web graphic
designer to 
prepare their designs as a template in Joomla? I'm asking
because I 
don't know how many designers are familiar with Joomla yet.
Also, how 
much effort would it take for an experienced designer to
learn Joomla 
to complete their design in a Joomla template? Thanks!

David Roth

www.joomlasolutions.com used to have a DreamWeaver extension
so you
could output your design as a template file. Not sure if it
is still
actively maintained, but you might want to check that out.

If the designers had access to something like that, then it
would be
reasonable to ask them to take that step. However, you still
need a
little PHP knowledge in order to create templates by hand,
and that
may be asking too much from a graphic designer. I suppose it
ultimately depends on the skills of your designer.

Hi everyone,

I think that what Mitch provided below is great to note, and
additionally, I
think we've been more successful working with designers
that have actually
used Joomla, even on the periphery or partially.  The reason
is that when
they're building module-like entities in their designs,
they can think about
building it out in such a way that allows you as a developer
and admin to
more effectively manage the modules on your template.

After a go at using Joomla, most designers can understand
the ability to be
flexible that modules have, and breakout their designs
accordingly.

Best,
Ryan

    I work regularly with a designer and he does the basic port of his design to the Joomla Template(I taught him and now he knows it better than I do) and I just polish the ends and TADA!

Cheers
