Hello JoomShaper Team,

I am a long-time user of your products, especially Helix Ultimate and your Joomla templates. I really appreciate the quality and flexibility of your solutions.

I noticed that Helix Ultimate 1 was released in February 2018, followed by Helix Ultimate 2 in August 2021, with approximately 3.5 years between the two versions.

Following this timeline, and with the evolution of Joomla 5, I was wondering:

  • Is a new version of Helix Ultimate in development or under consideration?
  • Are there any plans for Helix Ultimate 3?
  • What potential improvements could we expect over the current version?
  • Could a beta version be available soon?

If a major update is planned, I’m sure the community would love to hear more about it! 😊

Thank you in advance for your response and for all the great work you do!

Best regards,

Hello @Toufiq,

Thank you for your response. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed, as I assumed that an improvement to Helix Ultimate was already planned in your roadmap.

Helix Ultimate is an excellent tool, but I believe an update in terms of flexibility, performance, and usability could make it even more powerful.

I understand that some improvements may be complex, but others are feasible in the short term. When a product is successful, it is important not to become complacent to keep improving it.

Here are some of the improvements I consider important today and that could help users create better templates:

  • Header: More variety of predefined headers and, above all, an option to create custom headers easily. Also, an option for a transparent header fixed at the top of the screen.

  • Multi-language menu: The ability to assign any position within the header for display, both on desktop and mobile devices.

  • Mega Menu improvement: When items have associated submenus, they often disappear when moving from the main item to the submenu.

  • More options and flexibility for the mobile menu: An option to allow a menu item with a submenu to expand from the item itself and not always through the final arrow.

  • Improvements in presets and custom styles: These could be very useful for less experienced users. Additionally, I believe a clear and structured guide for creating custom.css files would help many users and reduce forum inquiries.

  • Improvement in loading speed: Achieving a good PageSpeed score for both mobile and desktop devices.

These are some of the improvements I would suggest, and I’m sure other members have additional ideas to contribute.

I sincerely believe that improvements like these would help create more impactful templates and would be very well received by everyone.

Thank you for listening! I hope you seriously consider their possible implementation.
