saguaros As I am sure you know, I have been with Joomlart for a very long time. I have huge respect for Hung. I can honestly say I have really enjoyed my time here. I have learnt a lot, made many mistakes but wouldn't have it any other way.
Sadly the lack of new templates and the pricing means this will be my last year. For many, the high price is just not viable, especially for those who have sites that are hobby based, not commercial. There are many in that boat and who have enjoyed JA for many years. I fear that like me, they will not renew. I do hope JA reconsider the new pricing structure, especially as many of us have zero interest in any of the other offering other than the Joomlart ones. There is also a very obvious frustration and even some anger from those who have joined but not seen their contractual obligations met, that of twelve new templates per year.
JA have an amazing portfolio of products, especially the original template club. Quite a legacy of innovation. It is such a shame to see this. Doubly so as the flexibility of Joomla couple with a JA template is amazing, but compared to other offerings the new pricing makes it a tough sell.
