While the original theme layout may be suitable while we get our feet wet, at some point you may want to change the theme to one that is more reflective of your own needs. It is also quite possible that your site will be used by non-English speaking persons and you would want to make the site friendlier for them. As you have learned, the front end of e107 is what is viewable via a theme. In many programs these themes are referred to as templates, but in e107 they are called themes although they serve the same concept. You can change your site's appearance by modifying the existing theme, using other freely available themes, or making a customized theme. We will explore these options and also internationalizing our site in the following sections.
