Sorry, but I just had to share this Joomla site ...

    I have been searching high and low for a suitable CMS for my needs. Not having much in the way of design skills, I finally settled with CMSMS which comes with a pretty acceptable default template. imho, CMSMS has the most appealing default template out there (I also like its admin interface and features, but that's another story)

    Anyway, I'm pretty much into guitars and stumbled on this site :> http://www.nextlevelguitar.com/

    They don't seem to have implemented seo-friendly URLs, but it surely is one of the best-looking Joomla site I've come across - I mean, the word Joomla never even crossed my mind until I looked at the source code.

    Anyway, just wanted to demonstrate an example of a great-looking Joomla site.

    I don't think it's one of the free templates, right?

    Most likely, not free. You can see it here http://demo.rockettheme.com/ under the "Mobius" name.
    One of my favourite templates from RocketTheme.

    Like I already mentioned, that is a Mobius theme from http://demo.rockettheme.com/ and I'm quite impressed with their overall themes collection.

    That is a rather nice theme. The Joomla template structure makes it easy to integrate nice themes from other CMS systems as well.

    True. Although some may find it a bit complex to create a Joomla template,
    it is rather easy if you do your homework and study the basic templating principle they use.
    Once you start understanding that, converting a template to joomla becomes a couple of hours job :)

    This is a simple template from Rocketthemes.com. This is probably the best template club for Joomla. Check at their demo server.

    If you have a basic experience of css you can customize Joomla template very easily.

    I heard this is also using Joomla: porsche.com.br
