I have a Joomla template installed on my shopping cart site. But i want the similar template and css styling, as a basic HTML template, so i don't have to use Joomla for editing. Is there an simple way to convert the template to basic HTML/CSS template?

A Joomla template is basically already in HTML/CSS format. All you need to get is view the stylesheet and then copy one of the pages of the Joomla pages. Visit this website below they are Joomla Experts you can contact to website’s webmaster.

Well, no just copy and paste, it's not that easy, joomla uses php for certain functions, so you will need it too, and the way it stores the data is in mysql databases, so you will need that too. So, it's not that easy. I'm still researching how can we do it.

Hello,

We have another solution, firt open the shopping cart in your browser and view source code from it and then paste it in Dreamweaver editor.

In Firefox : View > Page Source.
Copy the source and paste in Dreamweaver.

Note: make sure to change the paths and save in you folder. that's it.

Thanks.

Step 1
Prepare your template. The template should be (X)HTML & CSS compliant. There are lot of HTML templates on the Internet, just search them by using uncle Google. Templates in Joomla is filed under a directory named templates. Ensure the HTML file, images and CSS file are inside one single directory created under templates folder. For example, take a look at the Joomla template structure below:

Joomla Template Directory Structure
Joomla will search index.php inside the template directory. So, rename the index.html file to index.php.
Step 2
Replace the HTML code before the body tag of your HTML file with this code.

Don’t forget to enlist all your files used in your newly made template inside files tag. If you missed, the files won’t be copied to Joomla template directory during installation process. positions tag is used to declare the position name used in your template.
Step 5
Package it. You may create a thumbnail of your template before packing it. It should have 206px width and 150px height . and finally compress your template to a zip file and your template are ready to go. Don’t forget to test it before sharing it to the Internet in case you feel like it.

1. Read a license - maybe you are not permitted to use this theme for something else
2. Set up default Joomla installation up and running
3. Install your theme
4. Open Joomla site and copy/paste source code from your browser and download all CSS/JS files. You will get simple HTML+CSS with same design but without any Joomla template stuff.

will i get the same design like that? with all the similar header, menu effects and body features?

I guess it depends on how you need to work with that page. Do you want it to be a completely static page, or does it still need to have PHP activity happening on it (where products are displayed etc.)?

If just static, you could View Source on the rendered page, copy it all, paste it into a new file and just delete all the Joomla-specific code. You'd still have to check that the layout remains intact, and you may have to alter the CSS at bit.
