    I found the DVD from lynda.com -Joomla 1.5 Essential Training very helpful, especially when learning Joomla initially.

    I'd suggest using one of the existing templates that comes with Joomla. Strip out everything that you think you don't need, and incorporate your design. Get the design working, then add in the php components as you need.

    Remember, you can assign a specific template againist a specific page/ or pages (or category). It is imporant to understand this, as you don't have to build your site around a single template. (my own site uses about 5 templates).

    A menu(s) can be assigned againist individual pages. Which means you don't have to try and hack the site to have different menus on different pages (again I've about 5 menus on my site).

    All in all, keep it simple. Start from the very basic. Get your template working. Then add in all the components that you think your site will need within the individual template(s).
