JA Sargas

The 2^nd JATC template for Nov 06 - JA Sargas is another masterpiece from the JoomlArt team in delivering high quality but simple and professional templates for Joomla!. The template is featured with sIFR 2.0: Rich Accessible Typography (Special thanks to Mike Davisonan for this great technique) and has been fine tuned for JA Sargas as an independent mambot installation. Another outstanding feature of Sargas is the JA CoolAds module which was first introduced in JA Pollux. JA CoolAds can be used with a banner, text links or even a newsflash.

JA Sargas will be the perfect choice when flexibility of customization is important. With an elegant and artistic design in 3 color options {Blue (default), Green and Yellow}, the overall design of the template making use of a single header background, and a small decorative image with a divider, this template has it all! More packages (business and Christmas styles) including all of those images will be provided within this November release.

JA Mercury

With respect to give wider options to Joomla! design as well as a part of our effort to contribute to Joomla community, JoomlArt team would like to release 2 new and free joomla templates: JA Mercury and JA Acrus. The templates come with standardized features that you can see in other club templates of JA Templates Club. W3C validation is strictly focused with aim at making the templates well performed on different platforms. JA Acrus design drives you towards the simple and stylist style while JA Mercury draws attention to function aspects with a wide selection of JA navigation system, diversified color switcher and collapsibility. JA Mercury and JA Acrus give a good digging into Joomla! templates, in particular for beginners who expect to create functional and appealing Joomla templates for their own sites.

JA Pollux

JA Pollux - 1^st JATC template for Nov 06 is released. JoomlArt is proud to bring to our club members another highly accessible Joomla design. With a simple and grey color, JA Pollux is recommended for a portal site with large content. As with all other JA templates, the accessibility matters of the templates are of high attention. The essence of accessibility is to put the content of a web page first and the design second, therefore the "Content First" CSS technique is introduced in this Joomla! template; if you view source codes of the JA Pollux demo site, you will see that the main body texts are loaded first instead of left column like other templates. This not only means that the content is easier to view with all types of browsers but also helps with search engine rankings. Moreover, five built-in menu options are revamped and all menu items now have their own title tag: <Title="Menu name">^New! Especially, the Horizontal JA Dropline menu ^Updated! has been totally rewritten so that users can navigate more comfortably since its first appearance in JA Kruger. All of these improvements are simply part of our effort to enhance web accessibility for your Joomla! sites.

Advertising with Joomla is now even more interesting when the JA CoolAds module is provided with JA Pollux. Your text ads, banner, or even a rotation of newsflash modules can be delivered to your reader in a smart animation with full configuration via Admin (show/hide "close - do not show again" buttons, animation speed, first load delay...).

JA Kruger - It's blog time

JA Kruger - 2^nd JATC template for Oct 06 is a great artistic Joomla blog-style template. Your Joomla! now looks more like a Blogger, Wordpress or Movable Type. In addition to what we have offerred in previous templates, this joomla! template represents the utmost ability of a joomla design with 4 layout options (3 columns, 2 columns-full left, 2 columns-full right, collapse all), all three published user modules, user1+user2 module or even without any modules). In our commitment to provide the highest customization, the template could be configured to use any of five menu types: Standard Joomla menu, Horizontal JA split menu ^New!, Horizontal JA Dropline menu ^New!, JA Transmenu or JA Suckerfish menu.

Extra magazine styles ^New! such as dropcaps, blockquote, highlight, tips, code, error are well illustrated in Kruger's Typography, where you will find more outstanding blog features for this template.
