Joomla Custom CSS Module

The Custom CSS Module has to be my most favourite design oriented joomla extensions of all time. Yup, quite a statement but if you haven’t heard of this little module then stand by for a treat. Put simply, the module allows you to add custom CSS to any menu item or article. That’s right, you can add different styles to different pages of your Joomla website without the need for changes of template (or template styles in J.1.6+) for specific pages. Fo example, say you wanted a different background image for each of your menu pages it’s a complete breeze with this module. It’s an absolute storming bit of kit this mod and is almost a default install on every new site I build. The following joomla tutorial shows how you can use this to great effect – in this example we have a different background image for each page of our website. Enjoy, feedback and happy templating!

Joomla Template Maker

planettucker.com is where you can learn more about this tool and how to get it. Needless to say I think it is beyond amazing and saves you literally weeks of time in trying to develop a UNIQUE Joomla template. Whether you know code or not, this tool and its interface makes quick work of creating one, and one that no other human being has. It also equally makes just as cool WordPress and Drupal templates, but my fav is Joomla so that is what the video is around. You basically use the interface to make whatever template you want, and then you choose the export option which in turn changes which template it makes (ie WordPress, Drupal or Joomla). You zip up the file and all details are taken care of for you. I couldnt recommend it enough!
