And chosen Template Framework, which is a engine of any template, will be flexible enough. Free or Commercial - for private purposes it may also very important decision, not all developers offers free products and you not always want to spend money for all used on site products.

How to build site in less than an hour

You need new homepage or maybe only quick prototyping tool, to make building your websites even faster and simpler. Custom layout(s) created during conversation with customer. Yes, it's possible with SP Page Builder (Joomla! 3 extension). It's Block Based Architecture and it makes the drag and drop process rather intuitive.

I need separate mobile menu

You have found a nice template but after 30 min working on it you discovers that it doesn't have all features promised by its developer. You cannot even add or move module position without coding skills or use separate menu for mobile view only. Helix3 framework is different. And all new templates are based on it.

With flexible visual layout manager (composer) for module positions built-in, decide about position, margins, size or displaying on mobile devices – just by switching options. Based on fluid grid system that appropriately scales up to 6 columns. Even if you need new module position just select a place and put from the list of available positions names. If you need unique names put them inside templateDetails.xml - you do not have to be programmer to do this. Most of customization's like logo, favicon, colors, font family, google stats or compression can be done from template settings. And Yes, you can publish modules in mobile offcanvas menu as well, not only menu. FontAwesome icons in menu items, sure this is easy, just select which you need. JoomShaper templates supports middle eastern languages such as Hebrew and Arabic which are written predominantly right-to-left.

New template each month

Not all Joomla developers are able deliver a new template each month. Some of them cannot offer new designs anymore, they are burn out, but JoomShaper never, team always have new ideas and unique concepts.

We do not talk about templates only but also new extensions or addons for SP Page Builder tool. It means that all members / subscribers receive new premium product each month. Updates included. This is great opportunity for website developers (small or big creative agency) who has new customers and needs new inspiration and design for them. For example especially for January Moview template we prepared a new component SP Movie Database.
