The Joomla template is not a website, neither is it to be considered a complete website design. The template is the basic foundation design for viewing your Joomla! website. Look at Figure A below for a minute. This screenshot shows the template in use like it might be on a demo. Figure B shows the template as it may look with a raw Joomla installation with little or no content. The template is styled so that when your content is inserted, will inherit the stylesheet defined in the template such as link styles, menus, navigation, text size and colors to name a few.
The other major reason that your new installed template might not look like the demo is the modules have not been set up. For each template, the modules, like a menu, must be in a certain location. You set this up in the Joomla admin backend in the Module Manager. For example, in Simplicity the main horizontal menu (usually mainmenu) is in the module location "top".
Lastly, to get module effects, like boxes, or colors, a Module CSS Suffix usually needs to be applied. These are also set in the admin backend in the Module Manager.
