Template Architect helps you design a Joomla template without having to start by writing code.
What you will learn
- What the application actually creates.
- What the journey looks like from the first design to an installation package.
- The difference between a template and website content.
- What you will finalize later directly in Joomla.

A tool for website appearance and structure
Every Joomla website needs a template. It determines where the header, main content, sidebars, or footer will be located and how colors, fonts, buttons, or modules will look. Template Architect presents this structure to you as a visual canvas.
On the canvas, you add rows, columns, and named Joomla positions. Into these positions, you insert supported modules, such as a logo, menu, search, login, or slideshow. You customize the appearance using clear settings options, skins, and global colors.
From idea to finished package
- Choose a starting point. You can start with a blank template, create a copy of a shared template, or use AI.
- Build the layout. Add sections, positions, and modules, and check desktop, tablet, and mobile views.
- Fine-tune the design. Set up colors, fonts, spacing, backgrounds, skins, snippets, and safe custom CSS.
- Preview the result. The preview shows you a safe sample of the future website.
- Download the ZIP. Generate an installation package for target Joomla from your account.
A template is not website content
The editor displays sample articles, products, and modules so you can evaluate the appearance. You will create actual articles and menu items directly on your target Joomla site.
