Daniel from Compojoom.com here.  After I released my Joomla template – ‘Biggie Smalls’; it got a lot of attention from the community in general and a lot of my members asked me if I could show them how to make templates like I did; therefore by popular demand, I'm organizing a live training webinar wherein I will teach you all you need to know in matter of 3 hours instead of the 3 months it would take you should you have decided to go figure it out yourself.

Why I am organizing this?

Here is the thing: I know what it’s like trying to do it yourself and the reason I am arranging this is because I don’t want someone else to go through the same pain as I did. “Paying it forward” so to speak...

When this takes place

The webinar will take place on March 6 and it will have a duration of 3 hours.

I'll be deciding the time in accordance with where most of the registered students are from
