July kept the momentum going. We launched three brand-new templates, brought built-in Dark Mode to 10 more, and shipped something genuinely new: Joomla MCP - a way to run your Joomla site by simply talking to an AI assistant. Here's the full recap.

JoomlArt July 2026 recap - 3 new templates, Dark Mode for 10 more and Joomla MCP

JA Stratum - SaaS & startups

A clean, product-focused template for SaaS, startups, cloud platforms and technology products. The homepage is built the way software landing pages actually work: hero, dashboard preview, platform features, statistics, pricing, testimonials, FAQ and conversion-focused calls to action.

  • Integrations - present your product ecosystem and connected tools
  • Pricing - clear, structured plan comparison
  • Changelog - keep users up to date with product releases
  • Solutions - map your product to different use cases

JA Nexora - AI & developer platforms

Purpose-built for AI platforms, developer tools, cloud infrastructure and technology startups. Where Stratum speaks to software businesses broadly, Nexora is tuned for technical audiences - with app dashboard previews, platform capabilities, performance metrics, and dedicated Solutions layouts for developers, engineering teams and platform teams.

  • Technical blog layouts for engineering posts, product news and tutorials
  • Pricing, Integrations and Changelog pages included
  • Consistent dark and light styles across cards, dashboards and CTA blocks

JA Voyara - travel agencies & tour operators

The journeys you plan are unforgettable - your website should be too. JA Voyara brings a warm, editorial, magazine-style design to travel agencies, tour operators and independent travel planners.

  • Destination & journey listings - card layouts with location, duration, travel style, ratings and pricing
  • Travel stories - full-width photography, author info, tags and related articles
  • A flexible pricing page - package cards, feature comparison, FAQs and testimonials

Dark Mode reached 10 more templates

The roll-out that started in June carried straight through July, across two waves. Each of these templates now includes a one-click sun / moon toggle, automatic detection of the visitor's system preference, and a remembered choice for returning visitors - while your existing light design stays exactly the same.

Templates updated with Dark Mode in July

That takes the running total to 23 templates with built-in Dark Mode since the roll-out began. Switching it on is a single template update - your content and settings stay exactly where they are. Prefer light only? Leave it: light mode remains the default and untouched.

Joomla MCP: manage your site by talking to an AI

The biggest new thing in July wasn't a template. Joomla MCP connects your Joomla site to an AI assistant - Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini - so you can handle everyday website work in plain language instead of clicking through administrator screens.

Ask it to publish an article, tidy up categories, find a piece of content or check what changed, and it does the work against your real site.

How it works

  • Nothing is installed on your website - it uses Joomla's own built-in web services
  • You stay in control - permissions follow your existing Joomla user, and you can revoke access at any time
  • Set-up takes about five minutes - enable the built-in features, create a personal access key, connect your assistant
  • Works with Joomla 4, 5 and 6

In case you missed it: GeoReport

It landed just days before our June recap went out, so it deserves a second mention. GeoReport measures your website's AI visibility - whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity can find, trust and cite your site - and gives you the exact fixes.

It crawls your site and rolls everything into a single GEO Health Score built from four benchmarks: Search Alignment, Layout, Readability and Credibility. You get severity-ranked issues with step-by-step fixes, a side-by-side comparison across the four AI models, and a Chrome extension to audit any page - even a competitor's.

Your active JoomlArt subscription is already active on GeoReport - just sign in with your JoomlArt account, there's no separate account to create. Run a free GEO audit →

Why this matters

June was about catching up with where the platform is going - Dark Mode and Joomla 6. July was about what you build on top of it: three new templates for the industries asking for them, a Dark Mode library that now covers 23 designs, and two products that change how you work on your site rather than how it looks.

The simplest way to get all of it? A JoomlArt membership. One plan unlocks every template above, the full T4 toolkit, and everything we ship next.

The Dark Mode roll-out isn't slowing down. Four more templates - across four very different industries - now ship with a built-in light / dark toggle.

Newly updated with Dark Mode

Each of these templates now includes a one-click sun / moon toggle, automatic detection of the visitor's system preference, and a remembered choice for returning visitors - while your existing light design stays exactly the same.

4 more Joomla templates get Dark Mode

  • JA Vital - medical, hospital & healthcare
  • JA Sport - sports teams & football / soccer clubs
  • JA Coach - coaching, online courses & LMS
  • JA Resort - hotel & resort booking (Solidres)

All four are built on the T4 Framework and are Joomla 6 ready. Turning on Dark Mode is a simple template update - your content and settings stay in place.

Why Dark Mode?

A dark option is now something visitors expect. It's easier on the eyes in low light, gives your site a more modern, premium feel, and lets each visitor choose the experience they prefer - all without changing your site's structure.

How to update

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

Prefer light only? Leave it - light mode remains the default and untouched. Every one of these updates is included with a JoomlArt membership, along with all 200+ templates and everything we ship next.

More Dark Mode templates are on the way - stay tuned.

Every company is telling an AI story right now - and every one of them needs a website that looks credible. Meet JA Nexora, our newest Joomla template, built for AI platforms, SaaS products, developer tools, cloud infrastructure and technology startups.

JA Nexora - dark and light styles for AI and SaaS websites

  • Best for AI & SaaS
  • T4 Framework
  • Joomla 6
  • Dark & Light styles

Why a dedicated AI & SaaS template?

Technology websites don't behave like brochure sites. Visitors want to understand the product fast, see proof it works, compare plans, and know it plugs into their stack. That means a very specific set of pages - and building them from scratch takes weeks.

JA Nexora ships with those pages already designed, so you can launch a professional technology site in days.

What's inside JA Nexora

A homepage built to convert

A bold hero section, application dashboard preview, platform capabilities, performance metrics, customer testimonials and conversion-focused calls to action - the exact structure modern SaaS landing pages use.

The pages that close deals

  • Pricing - present plans and compare features clearly
  • Integrations - show the tools you connect to
  • Changelog - publish product improvements and build trust
  • Solutions - dedicated layouts for developers, engineering teams and platform teams

Dark & Light styles, done properly

JA Nexora keeps consistent typography, cards, dashboards and CTA blocks across both visual modes - the premium look that cloud platforms and developer tools are expected to have.

Technical blog & company pages

Publish engineering articles, AI research, product news and tutorials with modern blog layouts - plus ready-made Company, Team and Contact pages to build trust. Every standard Joomla page is fully styled too.

Built on T4, ready for Joomla 6

Powered by the T4 Framework, JA Nexora gives you flexible layout management, theme customization, reusable blocks and a performance-focused foundation - on Joomla 6, the platform's latest generation.

Not on Joomla 6 yet? Our T4 toolkit - Page Builder, Framework and Blank Template - is now fully Joomla 6 ready, so the upgrade is smoother than you might expect.

Who should use it

  • Agencies & freelancers building sites for tech and AI clients - win the pitch with a demo that already looks like their product
  • Startups launching a product site without a design team
  • Developer tools & cloud platforms that need pricing, integrations and changelog pages out of the box

Get JA Nexora

JA Nexora is available now and included with any JoomlArt membership - one plan unlocks Nexora, all 200+ templates, the full T4 toolkit, and everything we ship next.

One plan. 200+ templates. Including JA Nexora.

When we worked on the Joomla humble bundle idea we received many questions where the money of the fund will end up. To be transparent, this blog post should keep you in sync to clarify this question.

We successfully accomplished two deals of Joomla Humble Bundles between us and JomSocial and redComponent. Two more deals are in progress. Thanks to the supports from all Joomla lovers and fans around the world. This is a good sign to consolidate the belief of JoomlArt and all our partners who have agreed to join us and make the $1M target feasible. We are working hard to bring on the most exciting deals to create a good cause for the Joomla Community.

Our team and all the volunteers, developers and businesses of commercial extensions and template clubs have been enjoying the growth of the Joomla Community since the foundation of Joomla. As a little gesture of gratitude, we want to contribute to this growth.
