So you have an idea and you want to turn this into your online marketplace? To stand out amongst the millions of web sites out there can be difficult and implementing a good design these days just isn't enough.

You may need a quality custom Joomla template that not only looks great but that works on all major browsers* and is SEO optimised as it's not just your design that will bring in the visitors today but how well your site is SEO optimised and this includes the template.

Sometimes the only "good" thing about a free template is the fact that it is free.

While some template designers create good usable free templates many of these templates can actually cost you traffic and , more importantly, clients.

Let's look at some of the problems I've found with free templates, and which is why I've moved away from free templates to joining template clubs and more recently, to using Artiseer. Some of these issues you can work around by editing the template's index.php file but others you are bound by agreement, eg. linking back.
