We are pleased to announce the release of JA Vega 1.2.0, now available with a brand-new Dark Mode.

JA Vega was built for business, corporate, agency, and service websites that need a clean and professional Joomla template. With this update, the template now gives your visitors a more modern viewing experience while keeping the original light design fully intact.

JoomlArt

Why Dark Mode Matters

Many website visitors now expect the option to switch between light and dark viewing modes.

Dark Mode is especially useful when visitors browse your site in the evening, in low-light environments, or on devices where a darker interface feels easier on the eyes.

For business websites, it also adds a more modern and premium feel without changing the core structure of your site.

With JA Vega 1.2.0, you can now offer both experiences.

What's New in JA Vega 1.2.0

The main highlight of this release is built-in Dark Mode support. Your site can now display beautifully in both light and dark styles, giving visitors a choice that fits their preference.

This update includes

  • A clean sun / moon toggle in the site header
  • Automatic detection of the visitor's system preference
  • Remembered mode selection for returning visitors
  • Dark Mode styling across key template pages
  • Light Mode kept as the default experience
  • No need to rebuild your existing website layout

Your current light design remains unchanged. If you prefer to keep using only the light version, you can continue exactly as before.

Designed for a Smooth Update

We know many Joomla site owners want improvements, but do not want complicated updates. That is why JA Vega 1.2.0 was designed to be a simple template update.

You can download the latest package, install it over your current version, and continue using your existing content and settings. There is no need to rebuild your pages from scratch.

A Better Experience for Business Websites

JA Vega is often used for company websites, service pages, portfolios, and corporate landing pages.

With Dark Mode, these websites can now feel more current and polished while still keeping the same clear structure that business visitors expect.

Whether your visitors prefer a bright interface during the day or a darker interface at night, JA Vega now supports both.

How to Update

To use the new Dark Mode feature:

  1. Download the latest JA Vega 1.2.0 package from JoomlArt.
  2. Install the update over your current JA Vega template.
  3. Open your site and use the sun / moon toggle in the header to preview Dark Mode.

Your content and existing configuration will remain in place.

Update JA Vega Today

If you are already using JA Vega, this is a quick update that can make your website feel more modern in just a few minutes.

Dark Mode is now available in JA Vega 1.2.0.

Thank you for using JoomlArt.

Dear JoomlArt friends,

For many years, website owners focused on one goal: being found on search engines. Today, that is beginning to change.

More people are asking ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other AI assistants for answers instead of searching the traditional way. If AI cannot understand your website, it cannot recommend it.

That is why 2026 will be one of the most important years in JoomlArt's history. Alongside Joomla 6 support, new templates, dark mode, and major T4 improvements, we are introducing new AI tools built specifically for Joomla website owners.

JoomlArt

The Biggest Change in 2026: AI for Joomla

AI Analytics - Find Out How AI Sees Your Website

More people are using AI assistants to discover businesses, products, and content. The challenge is simple: if AI cannot understand your website, it cannot recommend it.

Many Joomla websites are missing important signals that AI systems use to understand content. Most site owners do not even realize it.

AI Analytics helps you see your website through the eyes of AI:

  • Can AI understand your content?
  • Which pages are AI-ready?
  • Which pages need improvement?
  • What should you fix first?

The tool provides clear recommendations in plain language, making it easier to prepare your website for the next generation of search and discovery.

The websites that adapt early will have an advantage. Those that wait may find competitors appearing in AI-generated answers while their own content remains unseen.

AI Customer Service - Help Whenever You Need It

Joomla has always been powerful, but sometimes you need help quickly. Whether you are migrating a site, configuring a template, or troubleshooting an issue, our new AI Customer Service assistant is available 24/7 inside your member area.

It can:

  • Answer common Joomla and T4 questions
  • Help troubleshoot issues
  • Guide you through setup and migration tasks
  • Point you to the right documentation instantly

And when human support is needed, all the conversation history and context can be passed directly to our support team.

Faster answers. Less waiting. Less frustration.

Full Support for Joomla 6

When Joomla 6 arrives, JoomlArt templates will be ready from day one. No waiting for compatibility updates. No uncertainty about migrations.

Our team has been working closely with Joomla development changes to ensure a smooth transition for customers.

Light and Dark Modes

Every JoomlArt template is being updated with built-in light and dark mode support. No additional plugins. No complicated setup.

Visitors can choose the experience that works best for them, automatically.

More Than 15 New Templates

We are developing more than 15 new templates for:

  • Business websites
  • Online stores
  • Education platforms
  • News and magazine sites
  • Portfolios
  • Agency landing pages

In addition, T4 Page Builder Premium will receive more than 30 new content blocks to help you build pages faster.

Looking Ahead

Most of these features will begin rolling out to JoomlArt members first. If you already use JoomlArt, you will be among the first to benefit from these improvements.

If you have been considering joining or renewing your membership, this may be the best time to do it.

The way people discover websites is changing. Our goal is to help Joomla users stay ahead of that change.

Thank you for being part of our community.

Hi guys,

After the Developer Preview version of Purity III released 2 weeks ago, we are still amazed on how much feedback, support and love we are receiving on a daily basis toward Purity III. For these, we THANK YOU.

And today, the long-wait is now over. We're glad to announce that Purity III stable version is OUT.

Time flies and I can't imagine that it is already 7 years since our Purity template was chosen to be the winner of Joomla 1.5 template contest. The template was later selected to be included into the core of Joomla 1.5. Purity has been the most successful template so far because of its simplicity yet flexibility. It does not look fancy, but it works seamlessly with any type of content you come up with.

Building a Joomla 2.5 or Joomla 3 multilingual site can be tricky, we encountered difficulties while trying to setup multi-language demo site to demonstrate our RTL language layouts for our latest templates. We developed a internal tool to overcome the problems we faced and we thought why not add more options and release the extension as FREE for the benefit of the Joomla! community.
