Once your Joomla site is ready, install the JoomBri Freelance package by following the installation guide.
Step 2: Install Template
We frequently see our members posting in our forum that after installing the package (step 1), the site doesn't look like your JoomBri Demo site. JoomBri Freelance is just a component and it doesn't include any template. The template we have used in our demo site is JoomBri Charm based on YooTheme.com Warp Framework.
After installing the template, set it as default template.
Step 3: Create Menus
To create menu items, follow Create Menu Link. The below table shows the list of menu items created in our demo site.

Step 4: Position Modules
When you install the package, all the required modules will be installed but will not be published automatically. You need to publish and position them to your liking.
