Functionality
Great extension to create a design that fits your needs and the needs of your readers.
Ease of use
A first sight, it looks strange and tricky. But some templates are offered to start. I needed 5 hours to create my own template.
Support
One of the best I have ever seen. I asked some questions and within hours I got the answer. very knowledgeable.
Documentation
Great and very helpful. If you do not find what you are looking for ask to Cedric. You got the answer. Amazing.
Value for money
It worth it. After the migration to Joomla 4, I wanted to become independent from a commercial template. It was done in few hours.
I used this to: I wanted to create my own design: simple, minimalist, efficient, fast.
I have been to make it with the help of Cedric. I purchased the product on Monday morning. My template was ready on the evening. My customers enjoy it. It is fast, easy and minimalist.
Really a great extens
Functionality
Template Creator works out of the box and has an intuitive interface, that enables also beginners to create own templates.
Ease of use
What you see is what you get. The editor makes it easy to create columns, rows, module positions and much much more.
Support
The use of this tool is so intuitive and easy, that support is almost unnecessary. Otherwise CEd's support is outstanding.
Documentation
Although it's almost self-explanatory - all questions that might arise will be answered in the documentation!
Value for money
Awesome. Nor more need to buy templates for each project. I gladly pay once a year, receive updates and can produce own templates as I need.
I used this to: Every single Project! No matter what: Onepager, Blog, Shop, Community or whatever I'm starting with JOOMLA!.

A Must-Have talent



Posted on 21 October 2022
Functionality
This is complex because the task is complex, but making your own template is a talent you must have and will enjoy.
Ease of use
Easy to use the program. Being able to immediately preview the results of your changes will help you understand how the template deploys.
Support
Very quick turn-around to questions. I've asked several and have had satisfactory results.
Documentation
Very good and complete in most areas. No problems with the English version manual. Support fills in minor gaps.
Value for money
Excellent value. You can create multiple copies of a template, experiment, change and compare the results very quickly.
I used this to: Creating a fairly simple template for a client that I hope to replicate on several similar sites. More important, I've learned a lot more about modules and how they interact, which something I never understood well until developing my own template with this program.
Owner's reply: Thank you for your great review :)

No hesitation to recommend



Posted on 21 September 2022
Functionality
It has worked flawlessly for me and it probably goes beyond more than most people will need - plenty of options to create new templates.
Ease of use
It really is quite logical and becomes quite natural. Can seem a little daunting at first but it but will help you with template design.
Support
Not had reason to reach out. Now that has to be a good thing right? :)
Documentation
Helped for the bits I needed to know - seems to cover everything
Value for money
Excellent value and helped no end with transition to Joomla 4. ....
I used this to: Used this to make new templates so sites would work with Joomla 4 .
Functionality
Very functional, both visual and text editing with custom code options. Can work from a template base or start from scratch with a blank.
Ease of use
I would say this is not suitable for true beginners. It helps a lot if you understand how Joomla templates work. Then it's easy to use.
Support
Cédric goes well above and beyond with support, giving holistic help that fits his component into the unified Joomla site. He's a star!
Documentation
The information provided is clear and comprehensive, both in context and with external documentation, demos, and examples. Very thorough.
Value for money
This would be a bargain at twice the price. If you do any kind of work where you develop templates for customers, don't think twice.
I used this to: A professional website for a multinational corporation. We wanted a quick way to get a new J4 template up and running. This has been BY FAR the easiest and most straightforward part of the project.
Owner's reply: Hi
thank you for your great message :)

Functionality
Template Creator CK allows me to create web sites that I would NEVER be able to create on my own. I am VERY pleased with results using it.

There is a definite learning curve, and it can be a tiny bit wonky, for example existing background color choices sometimes won't display.
Documentation
Value for money
40 Euros a year to create great-looking Joomla sites that I simply could not create without Template Creator CK is a BARGAIN.

Support
Ced's support has always been excellent, both in the forum and through the support emails.
Documentation
Documentation is a little patchy in places but you can always go to support if necessary
Value for money
Not free like some frameworks but worth every penny when you factor in the time you don't have to spend coding special layouts
