Free and Premium Magazine Themes for Joomla

Posted by: Cat M. // // August 11th, 2009 // Joomla

We searched all over the internet for magazine themes for Joomla, and we’ve brought you 20 of our favourite free and premium Joomla magazine themes!

Joomla is an excellent content management system for websites with lots of information, and magazine style themes and templates make it easy for users to organize information in an attractive and effective manner.

You don’t need to run a magazine or news site to use these themes–most of them are versatile enough to be used for just about any type of site with a large amount of content.

Just a quick bit of information:  in order to get some of these themes, you have to join a template club.  Generally, they offer a range of memberships for different prices, and members are able to download a certain number of themes over a set period of time.  If you have multiple websites, then joining a template club can save you quite a bit of money.

Okay, on to the themes!
