  • Link: demo.joomlaxtc.com/hardcore
  • Description: This template jumped out at me for the use of full-page videos. The rest of the design is interesting, but it's the homepage that got it included on this list. T
  • Mobile version: Shown below, the video is dropped for mobile devices. The resulting design works well, although had a couple of overlapping areas on my iPhone.
