I joomla has some nice template designs.

http://demo.templateplazza.net/celebs_plazza/

just one of them.

Im thinking of converting it to wordpress, since I dont use joomla

thoughts?

Anyone else convert joomla themes to wordpress?

TheSenator · 02-01-2009, 10:12 AM

I used to use RocketThemes.com for my Joomla sites back a year ago.

Wordpress now has CMS themes http://wpremix.com/

I never liked sites that look like that. the layout is too busy and confusing, your eye doesnt know where to go. I hate that revolution theme on wordpress.

I always liked simple blog layout like drudgereport or techcrunch.

HomerSimpson · 02-01-2009, 10:24 AM

looks good but a bit heavy for my taste...

MetaMan · 02-01-2009, 10:25 AM

that layout is way to busy, but with some minor tweaks could be reallyyy nice, but if it is free i guess you cant complain hehe

SordidMedia · 02-01-2009, 10:46 AM

Very slick design however it is a little too busy I feel with so many things going on.

In fact, it reminds me of the BBC site which is pure quality so what do I know.

You can change the revolution style theme to display much more less then what most sites do. I currently have something similar running on one of my maintream blogs and it has really helped out.

I actually purchased a bunch of Joomla themes and mods.
It's really nice eye candy but the load times was so bad I had to ditch the whole joomla
use. Joomla is also complicated to update and workon compared to wordpress.

I have an 80's video site I am fucking with using the omni theme.

Seems to do all I want, i have to get in and finish it now.

I'm dying to find a social WP plugin that allows memberships with profiles etc.
Anyone know of any?

I own 81 of Template Plaza's templates and they do an excellent job. I also bought some RocketTheme templates too.

Here is what I did with this template:

If you haven't looked at Joomla, you should. Wordpress is great if you just want to make some posts but if you want a fully enriched site - go with Joomla - there is just so much more you can do with it.

ExLust · 02-02-2009, 12:16 AM

Nice theme.

teg0 · 02-03-2009, 04:56 PM

There are some nice joomla themes, but I find that a lot of them are just adaptations of existing wordpress themes.

Chris · 02-03-2009, 04:57 PM

I use rockettheme.com stuff
well worth the membership .. they got some mayn custom scripts they put in for you and plus you hav the option of populating the site with demo data incase you are new to joomla it is easy to learn where stuff goes
