Hi
thank you for your great review

This component is brilliant. Having used and modified standard templates previously my only regret is not trying this template designer sooner. Easy to use, intuitive and flexible. I have been able to design 3 sites in 2 days, all which are different and look really good when complete. The system gives total flexibility through css and easy to use WYSIWYG template editor. If you are serious about having a good looking site this component is well worth the investment.
Quick and easy to use - even for beginners! Installed and set up in no time at all with new site up and running within a day that was completely adaptive/responsive. This extension saved a lot of time for the design and build.
Support response time is amazingly fast! Very helpful...
Well done CEd for a great templating system and your super quick response and help.

Being new to Joomla I did not have much experience with it's template system so I purchased Template Creator CK to help with designing templates. You will have a learning curve to get through so don't give up on it too quickly. The author is quick to respond to questions and is always looking for ways to improve his product. Overall the software does it's job and will help you develop some great templates. I will be a returning customer in the future.
A client recently asked "I will be able to change some of the colors in the template later, right ?". I had never been asked this before and purchased this extension to accommodate the request. I am happy to report that this extension is easy for my client and I to use and gives me a value added feature to offer clients moving forward.
This is an excellent tool for rapid development of extensions albeit with a bit of a learning curve. My only real beef is that I consider the templates created to be only semi-responsive because they don't automatically resize images which I believe is a core requirement for a true responsive template.
Also, I have not found a way to hide selected module positions for smaller screen sizes which would make the templates much more suitable for mobiles.
Having said that, I have not found a better template creation tool to date.

Hi
thank you for your review.
I'm a bit surprised, are you sure that you have used the responsive layout manager ? because you can select to not show a module position on each 4 mobile resolutions, and the mobile css automatically resize the images as requested.
Next time, ask me :)

Web content and applications are converging with mobile and multiple device screen environments. This is leading to Joomla and other CMS to adopt Bootstrap along with other ICT industry standards. Template Creator CK fits in cleanly as a Joomla core-friendly template tool that takes advantage of the new responsive environment but does not impose its own construct that ies the user into particular choices of extensions or a disply format.
TP CK is flexible enough to fulfil a broad range of template needs.
I also suggest considering Seblod if you have needs that go beyong content and display and into database query and applications. That combined with Joomla 3+ and the great extensions now avaiable make for a formidable applications as well as content environment because it can work well within the broader ICT environment.

Well, I have to be honest and admit that I had a few problems with this super product. Something was causing problems on my server and at first I wasn't able to work with the templater. I contacted Ced, and he answered my question in a matter of minutes. Super, friendly and very patient.
In an effort to solve the problem, I installed it on my local server and there it worked wonderfully and perfectly. This is the product we have all been looking for. Not everybody has got a head for hard coding and this little product allows one to totally control every aspect of the template design.
I am certainly no expert, but this product allows me to produce templates exactly as my client demands.
Thank you again for your wonderful product and splendid support.
Well worth the few Euros that it costs. Great value, great product. Phew!

This component is the best templator I have worked with. I used to work with another template creator for the basis websites and have the more extensive ones created by a programmer. but this component gives me much more possibilities although I really do not know much of CSS or HTML.
Besides this the support of Cédric is absolute fantastic! He helped me which an issue very fast. Thanks for that.
in shot, you want to create a template for Joomla without any knowledge! This is the component to use!

I'm fairly new to joomla, and know little about coding CSS. A recent project required a custom template. Luckily I found this package. It installed clean, makes clean templates and I had my first version done in an hour or so. If you are new there is a slight learning curve but once you learn it it's a breeze.

Having evaluated a number of Template Design tools I found this one the best of the lot.
I have been able to design my own template in a very short time.
I would highly recommend this tool and look forward to evaluating other tools offered by this developer.
Excellent Product!
