New LooK For Laptop Gamers

I spent most of today giving Laptop Gamers a new look. The old site used the default Joomla template and it didn’t have that finished look to it. The new template looks much better than before but I still need more work on the header. I want to put some graphics in there but my skills at Photoshop aren’t up […]
