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.

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.

Following up our previous Joomla template upgrades JA Nex and JA Social, our popular Responsive Joomla template for News - JA Teline IV has been upgraded to be compatible with the latest version of T3 Framework for Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.

Our Responsive Joomla template for Portfolio – JA Appolio version 1.0.1 for Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3 has just been released with some bug fixes. Built on the robust T3 Framework with Bootstrap 3 at core, this stunning template assures to help you build a powerful product portfolio and showcase website.

As promised, the Responsive Joomla template for Social - JA Social is now compatible with the latest version of T3 Framework. The template is also ready to rock and roll with the latest version of JomSocial 3.0.1

Dear all JoomlArt lovers, we are delighted to introduce our Responsive Joomla template for Joomla 2.5 & Joomla 3 of this month – JA Obelisk. A perfect template for Movies and Entertainment Joomla sites.

The latest of our Joomla 2.5 & 3.0 responsive template is JA Beranis. Fully loaded with great features including: RTL language layout support, EasyBlog component support, brand new module - image hotspot, our first ever vertical Mega Menu support and not to mention 5 more complimentary extensions. It also incorporates text and image animation (scrolling down on the home page to see it in action). JA Beranis is hands-down one of the most charismatic Joomla business template in our current collection. Let me give you a short tour of this template.

Having trouble looking for a Responsive Joomla template for Business that looks extraordinary and is highly functional for your Joomla site? Take JA Biz as a change, and I'm sure you are not gonna regret it.

Here are a few reasons why:

Developing a portfolio or showcasing Joomla site from scratch? JA Appolio will definitely help cutting down the time and efforts of the whole process with its upto date features : latest Joomla version, updated Joomla extensions, interactive UI & UX, social login authentication, T3 Framework featuring all new Bootstrap 3, powerful blogging tool EasyBlog, Responsive and RTL language layouts.

Yes! we did it right this time. Our Joomla templates (running T3v3 framework) now supports Right to left (RTL) language layouts. If you all remember we were the first to introduce native RTL support in Joomla templates via our T3v2 framework but it was a cumbersome process and hard work to release and maintain them, we eventually had to pause the RTL support, it was a hard decision then. For quite many months we have been working hard for the development and improvement of our T3 framework for Joomla! 2.5 / 3.0. Addition of Right to left layouts was one of the important feature and I am happy to announce that the feature is now available. RTL support in the latest T3 framework now uses the bootstrap RTL and is amazingly simple to use.

Since more than one year, I discussed with Joomlart's CEO (Hung) about the necessity to do a native RTL template. Actually, I was unhappy to see all these automaticlly mirrored templates with a global code: "direction: rtl" that send the vertical scroll to the left side of the screen and cause more issues than solutions. Yes, I read from right to left but I use my right hand to scroll pages and I have the same visual logic as readers of Left-to-Right scripts.

How is JA Fubix - the Joomla template for news & magazine in RTL language layout style working out for you guys? The weekend is over and while the new week is approaching, RTL version of JA Smashboard - Joomla template for entertainment and the Joomla ecommerce template - JA Hawkstore sure will keep you guys busy. Yup, they are now officially RTL language layout compatible.

Have you ever been on a website and just can’t figure out how to navigate to a certain page? Or perhaps suddenly been frustrated by trying to find the navigation bar after reading through countless comments or posts down the page. Not only is this annoying but often happens even more when using a mobile device or tablet, and is more complicated to remedy.

I have, and these problems while small, really bother me and countless other users too. Navigation is among the most important features in web design and focusing on it’s development will be a huge trend in 2013. To help improve the users experience and improve customer satisfaction we have recently incorporated Sticky Navigation for Desktop and Off Canvas Navigation for Mobile in JA Argo - responsive Joomla 2.5 / 3.0 template based on our all new T3 Framework , as well as in T3 Framework.

Overview of web navigation

A. Traditional navigation

In the past we would see all kinds of links listed on the top navigation bar. First we would scroll down to read the article, information, or blog post then have to scroll up to find the navigation bar located at the top of the page. Let’s be honest, that is one annoying and inconvenient thing to have to do everyday of your life.

This February, along with the release of our monthly Joomla template JA Mitius, we are glad to release the latest version 1.1.0 RC2 of our T3 Framework compatible with Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.0.

T3 Framework - a powerful Joomla template framework version 2.0.1 was shipped last week.

What can you expect in T3 Framework version 2.0.1?

• Up-to-date with Joomla & Bootstrap 3 framework
• Improved in UI for both front-end & back-end
• Even more flexible in term of navigation system

Apart from the new features, T3 Framework still embraces its core such as: Layout Configuration, ThemeMagic, Layout Customization, Megamenu Configuration, and more. If you are unfamiliar with T3 Framework, here are the shortcut to learn more about the Framework:

All the templates running on T3 Framework have been updated and Versions released in Downloads. The affected Templates are JA Teline III, JA Halite, JA Kyanite I, JA Kyanite II,   JA Seleni, JA Urani, JA Rasite, JA Lime, JA Mesolite II and JA Zeolite II. Important changes in these versions  are :  1. Upgrade to Latest T3 Framework Code.  2. RTL Language update / fixes. 3. Mega Menu Updates (Except Teline III).  Detailed Changelog is announced in respective template forum as sticky thread.

Last night Joomla announced that the T3 Framework for Joomla responsive templates will be officially integrated into the upcoming Joomla 3.5 distribution with an early alpha release with Joomla 3.1. This is fantastic news, as 6 years ago JA Purity won the Joomla Template Contest and now its our template framework, the day is not far when all Joomla templates will be based on our T3 framework.

At JoomlArt we are very excited about this and have already started working on early integration of T3 framework with the Joomla 3.1 release scheduled April 15th 2013. We have been thrilled ever since this idea was introduced after the release of Joomla 3.1 during last years World Joomla Conference held in San Jose, California. T3 Framework is the best of the best Joomla template framework especially for the responsive templates for Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.0 and is the best solution for ease of use and its ability to personally customize each template to a previously unthinkable level of detail.

What is an animation effect?

T3 Framework has recently come out with its latest feature for Megamenu: the animation effect in displaying sub-menu for Joomla! template. This happens in the seconds your sub-menu is dropping down as your mouse is hovering over a certain category in your megamenu.

After 4 months of hard work, T3v3 has finally released the stable version for Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.0 a few days back accompanied with JAEM (JA Extensions Manager) urgent bug fix in upgrading T3 plugin.

1. T3v3 Stable Version 1.1.0

During the last couple of months, we have released a few beta and RC versions of T3 Framework and received numerous feedback from the Joomla community to improve the current Framework to the current level.
