Below are practical content ideas, where to look for editable assets, and a focused troubleshooting checklist for the “lots of codes” symptom you described. This complements request and the pointers from , and .

Keep the site content tight and goal-focused:

  • Core pages: Home (hero + main CTA), Services (Graphic Design, Branding, Web Dev, E-Advertising) with clear deliverables for each, Portfolio (case studies with before/after and results), Packages/pricing, Blog (campaign tips, how-tos), Contact/lead-capture.
  • Free downloads to attract leads: a “brand kit” (logo source + color palette), a 3-size ad pack (PSD or layered PNG), a one-page HTML landing template, and an email banner kit. Offer previews (JPEG/PNG) plus editable sources (PSD/AI/HTML/CSS).
  • Copy and UX: write short service blurbs that state the outcome (leads, conversion rate, brand recognition). Add process visual (brief steps) and client testimonials.

Where to get editable templates and precautions:

  • Search for free PSD mockups, HTML5 landing freebies, and “free Joomla templates” but always check the license for commercial use and whether source files are included.
  • Prefer templates that are responsive, documented, and updated recently. Edit PSDs in Photoshop or GIMP; edit HTML/CSS with a code editor. For quick, polished paid options consider marketplaces (paid themes usually include support).

Troubleshooting the “lots of codes” display (step-by-step):

  1. Confirm Apache and MySQL are running in XAMPP and you use a URL like http://localhost/your-site (not file://).
  2. Ensure Joomla files are in the Apache document root (htdocs) and pages use the .php extension.
  3. Create a test file to verify PHP is parsed:
    <?php
phpinfo();
?>

    Open it in the browser; if you see source instead of phpinfo output, PHP is not being processed.

  4. If PHP source appears, check the Apache/PHP configuration: PHP module must be enabled, restart XAMPP, and inspect php.ini for short_open_tag usage (either enable it or convert short tags to <?php).
  5. Check logs (Apache error log and PHP error log) and verify the PHP version is compatible with the Joomla release. Note: Joomla 1.5 is obsolete and insecure for production — consider migrating to a maintained CMS or a current Joomla/WordPress build for a public site.

I downloaded joomla 1.5 and i successfully installed it but after i tried the url i.e to access the panel lots of codes appeared on the screen, dont knw why. Please tell me why. I was thinking it was the xammp version which i used. I used the 1.7 version to install joomla 1.5.

Actually, compare to joomla, why don't you try wordpress. It is more web developer-friendly as it is easier to manage. Moreover, the wordpress API can be easily found in wordpress.org or even wordpress.com. In addition, wordpress is provided with plenty of free framework supporting different child theme.
