Joomla is an open source software, in addition to which it is also a free download from their website. Hence just about any download it and install the software to make a website they desire. This can be any kind of website, for example it could be a blog, a content management system, even a ecommerce website. In any case once you do install the Joomla software you will need to change the template. It is highly unlikely that you will want to use the default provided by Joomla.

In order to change the template you can either search for one online and simply download it and install it using the user friendly interface provided by Joomla. The other option is to have a custom template built. If you do have rough design in mind and also need to implement custom functionality then you may need to hire a professional Joomla web developer to do the job. Alakmalak is one such professional Joomla development company.

What all these templates will have is a menu structure. A menu structure is usually located at the top bar in the header. But that is not required to be fixed. A menu can just about anywhere, like in the sidebar or the main content itself. Once you have made your website and then have the need to add a menu element to it , it may seem quite a task to do that. However Joomla makes it easy for you to tackle such hard issues as described further in this article.
