Greetings to everyone!

After more than 5 years of designing pages using GoLive and photoshop/fireworks, it seems I’m now hooked with joomla. Just got my first joomla site and was simply amazed with the quality of the templates here. I’ve been browsing a lot of template designs, including 2 other sites, where I also paid for membership. Drupal and Mambo did not convinced me to switch to a CMS, but joomla is simply the only CMS that matters.

What strikes me about joomlart is that the templates are in a class of its own. I’m now going gaga over 3 templates and will be using one of them for my new site. I’m using a template from another great club, but these 3- wistery, villadi and antares seems to be the perfect template for me.

I hope I can decide between the 3- my site is a film review and actors’ website, so I wish to have both a minimalist and artistic look for it.

Just want to make my first post, for it seems we have a great and friendly bunch of peeps here! Hopefully when my joomla site is done, I can put a link here and have some of the experts comment and help me better it.

I’m 22, from Houston, TX but is now in the middle east for my first job!

Cheers!
Jed

Hi
Welcome!

When ShannonN is around things are a little more lively, but the rest of us are trying to keep up the pace until he returns.

I was designing sites with Dreamweaver and Photoshop since version 4, but I found myself spending too much time tweaking the sites graphics, so much so that I rarely got a site of my own published. That all changed when I descovered Joomla! Joomla and Joomlart have freed me from the endless cycle of tweaking and let me focus on the meat and potatoes of a website, the content.

I too am a member of that “other club” but I find that I use Joomlart templates more than the “other clubs” templates, simply because Joomlart templates are better.

I feel your joy, because I am now free myself. 😀

Have fun!

Welcome aboard Jed!

Nice to see a new face here. We will sure try to do our best to give some “expert” comments when you put up your site. I have been working on websites for about 10 years now and Joomla is the only way I am designing pages now, no matter how easy/small a website a client wants, they do get the Joomla packages. Simply because it is easier than anyhting else!

Been using Dreamweaver, Photoshop, HTML templates, text editor and a lot of programs. Now I use Joomlancers, Joomlart and Joomla.org
