you mean your own template design for mambo? you may want to check the tutorial linked in this post:

when you get to create your own template based on your design, you can add and remove items according to how you envision your mambo-powered site to look like, including the removal of the mambo banner on the bottom of the page (i imagine the default mambo theme has this).

There a many Mambo / Joomla templates availible to choose from. I suggest going to MamboHut and see it there is one that you like already there. If there is one there that is nearly what you want, then you can edit the CSS file for that template.

IF you cannot find one you like or can't simply change the CSS on, you can locate one that is roughly what you want and edit the index.php file along with the CSS to get hte results you want.

The templates are about 90% HTML and the PHP portion is relatively basic unless you want a more dynamic template.

Here are a couple that I have been working on here:
VW One - It is nearly complete graphic wise but the CSS still needs work.
Handy PHP - This one has nearly all of the CSS issues complete but the graphics are still being developed.

I created both of those from scratch using the default graphics and CSS as my guide. They actually use the same index.php file and everything else is different except a few of the graphics.

So look at a few template and study their index.php files to get a better idea of how to write the required script for it.

As for the "Powered By Mambo" statement, as I understand the license for the system, you may remove that line. It should be in the footer.php file in the includes directory. The file has a statement that it may be edited for your needs. It might be nice to have a creidt s page somewhere though where you mention your use of whatever products are used for your website developement just to be sure that you haven't removed the wrong copyright statements!

Enjoy your website.

To remove the banner (if I understand you correctly), you should go to Components -> Banners, check the box in the column header, and click Unpublish, which will do exactly what it sounds like.
Creating Mambo templates is not terribly hard if you know some PHP, and a good bit of HTML and CSS. Unfortunately I don't know of any good documentation off hand.
