Everything I am going to show here could have been done by creating my own template but as I wanted to ensure that it would be future proof I have done it with CSS, a tiny bit of javascript, and existing Cassiopeia template options.
Over the last few weeks I have been rebuilding a joomla website that was built with a pagebuilder using just core Joomla and the core Cassiopeia template. This wasn't for a client, it was just as an exercise to satisfy my own belief that you don't need a pagebuilder.
Why are you using a so-called page builder when Joomla has everything you probably need right in the box? Don't know what I am talking about - well it's a fairly hidden feature of the TinyMCE editor called Content Templates.
Choosing the right typeface is a critical decision that influences a website's aesthetics, readability, and overall user experience. While web fonts are popular for their versatility and creative possibilities, they come with their fair share of disadvantages.

Unlike many other CMS that are page based, Joomla is much more dynamic with everything based on the menu item. When you select a menu item Joomla decides which view to display, which blocks to display and even which theme.
One of the major advantages of this approach is that content can inherit the settings of a parent so you don't have to design every page. At the same time this inheritance can be source of confusion, despair and even anger.
