To design Joomla websites, you only need to follow five simple steps. While many Joomla website designers try to overcomplicate the process, it should not be necessarily so.

Without wasting your time and mine, here are the five steps that you have to take. You should note, however, that these are sequential steps. This means that you have to do the first one first, followed by the second, etc. While you may sometimes, be able to still build a Joomla site without actually following some of these steps sequentially, it is best not to do so. You will see why as we move along.

So, here is what you need to do.

1. Install Joomla: Well, you can’t actually do anything until after installing Joomla on your website. There are a number of ways to do this.

One of the most common two is to install the CMS using “Fantastico” on your hosting account Control Panel. This takes about 3 minutes at most and is the simplest and easiest way of installing Joomla.
