Day 4: Templates and design

Hi,

I think it might be cool if you could get Ryan to participate on that one as he has a huge knowledge about NGO's in general. I will see that I can point him to that thread but please allow him some time to answer as he is on meetings atm.

One side note: Any information related to the Fish just ask here or you are welcome to contact me directly.

Hi everyone,

I think that Day 4 would be great to have designer focused, allowing people with design skills to think of the possible ways to expand their sites.  Here's an overview of it:

1) How to migrate from a static design to a Joomla template
2) Best practices for Joomla templating
3) Understanding the level of detail for building CSS into Joomla templates
4) Where to find and learn tutorials on building templates

That should be a good start!

Best,
Ryan
