Build a joomla blog website

Job Description:

I'm looking for someone to help me put together a joomla website (including customizing templates).

Here's what I have now with basic joomla running: [login to view URL]

The idea is a blog site with a nice clean look and main menu links to categories but also categories on the side, and a mailing list, rss, and donation link at the bottom. I'm able to modify basic html and javascript but don't yet have experience with any javascript or CMS frameworks, and I liked what I heard about joomla so I started there and I was able to get the hosting and basic setup working.

Next Steps:

change theme - [login to view URL]:MyLanguage/Portal:Beginners

modifying themes reference - [login to view URL]:Modifying_a_Joomla!_Template

find theme like this template - [login to view URL]

use this as template? - [login to view URL]

order this template? - [login to view URL]

set up blog - [login to view URL]

-add categories

main menu: Home | Blog | Audio | Astrology | Communication | New? Start Here

set up mailing list or rss at the bottom

set up donation link at the bottom

Design Examples:

[login to view URL]

likes the moving list entries

[login to view URL]

search box on the top (middle or top right)

menu items across the top (TBD)

decent amount of empty space to give it an uncluttered look

animated dropdown menus

categories list on the left

no socials (maybe in the bottom directory area)

background color warm cream

highlight dark green and blue

little bee on the green vines - hive = home

flowers have books in the center

really attracted to the way [login to view URL] has set up his blog page on his website. I like the simplicity of the boxes and then one can choose a box and read blog posts according to the subject matter. I also like how he has the choices for his website up in the corner and the title of his website (his name) up at the top with a line to section it off from the boxes below.

I honestly don't like his home page layout. There are other parts of his site that I like, and some that I don't. The simplicity of the page for his blog is something I am looking to emulate. I want simplicity, but also elegantly so and I think this page does a good job of it.

[login to view URL]

open wide space on top

menu/categories on the left

likes the breadcrumbs

likes the image displays

likes the directory at the bottom

likes the line dividers

likes how it keeps the same background as you stretch the website wider

One of the first things I would ask in our session is should I use this as a template? - [login to view URL]

or should I order this template? - [login to view URL]

or something else?

I'm open to advice on direction as well, and we can adjust the design a bit if needed.
