A friend asked me to revise its #joomla website. Are there any good sources for #themes? Esp. I'm seeking something like the Paradigm Shift by HTML5 UP (see image). In this theme, each „section“ is two columns and there is a line between, running from top to bottom like a timeline.

I once adapted an html5 template for Joomla. I have described the first steps here in the template section:

@Astridx Many thanks, this seems very helpful. I"m a bit curious that I need to create pages for error, maintenance, etc. for the template, too. Looks like this is quite a bit of boilerplate work.
@kirschwipfel
Yes, the blog posts are about explaining how a Joomla template works. To keep it simple, I used the HTML5 template so I can leave CSS and JS out of it. So it's not something ready-made, but a kind of boilerplate.
@Astridx What I meant with boilerplate: I just want to change the look of the website, eventually moving some elements (e.g. menu, hero, breadcrumbs). So in joomla I need to create my own errors page, and a index.php defining even the head section!?
I'd thought, page elements are more modular. Did I miss something?

@kirschwipfel Joomla keeps data, logic and design (template) relatively strictly separate. If it is important to you that all pages, including the error page, have a consistent design, then you need to implement this.

Or you build on another template a child template. For instance on Joomla standard template Cassiopeia. You only need to change what you want to be different (https://magazine.joomla.org/all-issues/may-2022/a-deep-dive-into-joomla-child-templates).

But: You don't have to create a template. There are many suppliers: https://forum.joomla.de/thread/69-template-gesucht-joe-s-liste/

Sweet child o' mine... A deep dive into Joomla Child Templates

Did you ever make changes to your template file(s), only to discover that everything you changed was gone with the next update? Then we have good news for you: starting with Joomla 4.1, this has become history! With the option to create child templates added to the core, you can make changes that last. This article explains how it works.
