Speaking about Joomla specifically, it has a folder named templates in which templates are kept. I usually find out about the templates using

  • The path (for joomla it would be /templates/(Theme Name)/style.css)
  • By viewing source of the CSS files. A number of sites leave the template meta data untouched in there.

However, if the designer changes the template directory name or removes the meta data from within the css files or builds his/her own css from ground up. There wont be much left to identify the template. Hence you will have to do it the hard way , by identifying the CMS used and then browsing thru CMS specific templates. :)

Hope this helps you!
