Download Joomla Templates

I’m a new user of joomla. I have download some of joomla templates and try to use them. But I don’t know how to change its graphic, such change the background color, pictures, and so on. Is it possible to change them? Can I make social network community and e-commerce application using joomla? Thank’s a bunch! Cheers

Joomla is designed precisely for social network communities and e-commerce! Used ‘as is’ Joomla runs (without plugins) a community (ie multi user) magazine/blog-style website.

You then feed in the articles to read, items to sell, etc. You as administrator control who has access and who can create articles / items.

You can create and edit the templates as you wish and install plugins to enhance your site. They are just text files, editable with Notepad (Google "Notepad+" for an enhanced version, better for editing website files).

A great site for ‘empty’ basic templates is Compass Designs:
