In this joomla tutorial, we will look at a 3 column theme for your joomla website. Most joomla websites use 3 columns and having the theme start with that is a good foundation. Then later we can hide side columns if there is no content in them for that page. Let's face it, making a joomla theme with tables is easy. That's why we all did it (may we hang our heads in shame).
