To change the default Template for the Site (Front-end) to Helix Ultimate, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Administrator (Backend).
2. Click on: Extensions - Templates
3. Then you should see the Template Manager screen with all installed and enabled templates.
4. The default style for the Front-end is marked with a star icon.
5. To change the default style to Helix Ultimate:
   • click the checkbox left from the style name to select it;
   • click "Default" on the toolbar;

   the star changes from Protostar (or a different template) to Helix Ultimate and you are done.

Joomla! gives you the option of switching between two or more styles on the Front-end. This is done with "Menu Assignment", so you can set different styles for each menu or only a menu item. This allows specific "pages" (menu items) that are defined by menu links to set for a "specific" style. Styles can be of different templates.

Click into the template name to see the Template Options button, click on it to get access to the extended settings area.
