[TYPO3-english] Typo3 advice needed

[Stephen Bungert]

I have only used templa voila once (a long time ago) and found it difficult 
to use, but there are others that swear by it.

I found the default 4 columns enough for most sites, but I also added new 
columns when needed, but since there are backend layout I haven't needed to 
do that. The backend layouts are great, you make the backend columns look 
similar in layout to any frontend.

I would try using backend layouts first.

Stephen.
