I think I have my head around the structure of the data etc for the admin side but I am lost with the templates. I would really appreciate some guidance as this looks like a really good product and one I hope to be able to use for future clients. I have a site which needs several types of page template. Each has a slightly different look. The pages types I need are: Home Text News Events Form Each of these 5 types needs a slightly different look so I assume I need 5 page templates. However, when I look at the example sites that come with the installation there appear to be hundreds of different template files. If you could give me some simple steps to creating a site with 5 templates to follow I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.
