Customizing themes
Of the three CMSs of Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal, would someone who has customized themes on all three please care to comment as to which makes theme customization easiest and why?
From my experience the more complicate to the easiest: Joomla, Drupal, WP
I don't create any theme from scratch since a few year cause it was time consuming.
I buy them from https://themeforest.net/ and make custom adjustment, the result is professional and you have 6 month of support with the dev.

PS: I do use ready-made templates sometimes... but to be honest, I still prefer making my own theme as I have the most control over it.

Template Creator has gone through a number of revisions and is a solid component.I looked at the video, and i don't know what you think, but there was no sign that it was either being used to, or would, produce a template that would be responsive
Hi Cehj

You should try to make a theme for each so you will have a better idea,
it's always depending of your knowledge, skills and preferences.

Hi, CEHJ
While we're looking forward to Joomla moving to Bootstrap 3.x -- Joomla still works quite well responsively so far as visitor experience.
And in my experience all of the popular Joomla extensions are responsive. Always use popular extensions, when possible. In my case, even when using less popular extensions, I have not run into any that were not responsive.
And Template Creator lets you very specifically set the layout of pages/modules for all devices, as shown in the link I provided earlier.
Best,
Rowby

I don't use Drupal and have just done a little Wordpress theme customization.
For Joomla, for example, there are a number of extensions that you can use to create your own templates. The one I have used in the past is Template Creator CK. Template Creator CK
Template Creator has gone through a number of revisions and is a solid component. The developer also is responsive to questions and suggestions. He also makes a WordPress version of his product which I have not used.
Overall I would think Joomla and Wordpress would be easier to modify than Drupal which, to my understanding, requires more skills overall.
