Can I Use Joomla Or Another Cms To Edit And Use A Web Template I Purchased Online?
August 1, 2009 under FAQ
I intend to publish a newspaper/Magazine website. I have seen a web template that I like in www.designs4peanuts.com and would like to use a CMS like Joomla to run the online Magazine. Is it possible to use a CMS like Joomla to edit and update content on such a template that was not created with Joomla?

see if they have a joomla version. They might.
you can search “joomla templates” in google to find something specific for joomla.
otherwise you will need to modify the template to have the joomla-specific php code.
possible, but not for beginners.
The basic answer is NO. You need a Joomla template which is very specific. There are companies which will convert templates for you, but you are better off searching for a free Joomla template - there are some free ones and subscription ones at http://www.rockettheme.com. They also provide with their free template some tutorials on how to customise it. I’ve produced a really nice design strarting with their free template and then following the tutorial to change colours, etc
