Hi

I'm in the process of migrating an 1.5 site to 2.5 which have a custom template made by me.
I have made the necessary changes on this template so it works (kind of) with 2.5, but I see that it will need more work to be what I wish.

Since I'm a paying member to here, I thought that I might use on of the templates from here.
But I would like the site to be as close visually to what it is now with a new template, so I'm wondering if any one could point to the template here that would give the least amount of tweaking to have it look like the old site?

The old, stil live 1.5 site is here: ModellNorge

The old site have Coppermine which I will change with a native Joomla gallery.

Thanks
Kjell Arne

Hi Kjell Arne

I would normally suggest zenbase but we are releasing a new starter theme shortly so it may be worth waiting a bit to check that out

Cheers

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply.

Without making any promises, can you say anything about the ETA of this new starter theme?

Regards
Kjell Arne

Hi Kjell Arne,

I'll check with the developers - once I hear back I'll update here

Cheers

Hi Kjell,

Looking through your old site, the main feature is adding a black border. Flux might be a good template to start on, or maybe Portal (which is more newsy).

The CSS edits might be relatively easy and if you used K2, zentools or a zenkit display, you could get some really nice results.

Just my pennyworth...

Whatever you choose I hope it goes well.

Richard

Thanks Richard
+1

Thanks Richard

I'll take a look at your suggestion.

I do not have anything special added to the 1.5 site.
Template I made my self, and i table less CSS.
I think it's smart to look into a template that can easily include mobile possibilities, something I do not have now.

Kjell Arne

Mobile is almost becoming expected on sites

I'll update here when we release Base3 (working title)

Cheers
Paul
