Last week we launched Natural and this week we are proud to announce the launch of another great new Joomla Template. We've been working so hard you could say we are ready to go to the Joomla Olympics. ;)
What is the 6-in-6 Challenge? It is one of the ways we push ourselves harder than anyone else in the Joomlasphere. While others are happy launching but one Joomla Template per month, we are going to attempt, again for the second time this year, to launch 6 products in 6 weeks. With great pride, we present you Corp, our newest Joomla Template and what is surely another gold medal.
Most Joomla Template companies launch just one Joomla Template each month, however we dont feel that 12 templates a year is enough. So for the past few years we have made the promise to our clients to launch more than 20 per year. That's almost twice as many as our competitors and we should be happy and proud of that huge acomplishment. However, every once in a while we go a little crazy - - it may be the heat or the humidity, and being the gluttons for punishment we are, we decide to push ourselves even harder and launch 6 new, reliable, and exciting products in as many weeks.
If you recall, we failed our last 6-in-6 challenge. The last template we launched in the challenge, the exciting and revolutionary N6, was delayed and we ended up launching our 6 Joomla Templates in a period of 7 weeks. This time we have made the challenge even more complicated because we will be including two Joomla Extensions as part of the 6 products we will launch. Stay tuned during the next 6 weeks as we embark in this difficult undertaking.
We've been dilligently building content and we are now proud to announce the launch of our new school: The SEO College at Joomlashack. During the last few years we have taught thousands how to design great and reliable websites using Joomla, now it´s time to learn how to:
1. Get your sites found by search engines and the people you want. So you can:
2. Drive more traffic to your sites. In order to:
3. Increase your sites' conversions.
I don't know exactly what it is. Perhaps it's the timeless design, or the simplicity with which the module positions allow the designer to tell his or her story, or maybe it's the incredibly versatile antique look to it, Vintage has been a perennial bestseller loved by web-designers the world over. If you are a Developer Club Member, download it for free now.
The Wright Framework is a major upgrade and outstanding value added to our Joomla Templates and the websites built upon it. The name is in honor of the famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright and his minimalist style. In a Joomla Template, the Wright Framework is like a combination of a foundation and a blank blueprint. A solid and versatile foundation to build upon, and a blank and empty blueprint upon which the web designer can create his or her masterpiece.
Give your website a healthy start by using the right Joomla Template - - the right Formula. Joomlashack's Formula was built using the reliable Wright Framework. It comes with 6 cool colors each in light and dark versions and with some cool CSS3 animations.
Doohickeys, doodahs, and gizmos are all nice and well when you want them, but sometimes you need a nice, well diagramed and clean space to communicate an idea properly and without distractions. Formula will not get in the way of your master plan. It provides the developer with an almost perfect, pure, and minimalist canvas. It can be molded and designed to fit a great selection of themes.
We are as excited about our new updated version of Shackslides as the host of an infomercial is about his Ginsu knives. This practical and reliable slideshow module has been used already in thousands of sites. It's one of our best selling products - - one being bought with almost every template we sell. What I'm getting at is that it was already a great product and now it's even better.
I'd like to take the opportunity to let our readers know of a current open conversation about the future of Joomla's User Interface, or UI as it's commonly referred to, and invite everyone to share their input should they wish to.
Some of you may already know of Kyle Ledbetter's work over the last few months to bring modern standardization to the Joomla admin interface, an effort that many of us are very grateful he began. For a peek, take a look at the screenshot above - yes, that's a possible Joomla admin interface!
Due largely in part to Kyle's efforts to incorporate the popular Twitter Bootstrap framework for use in standardizing the UI and presenting a set of tools for developers, Joomla's Production Leadership Team (PLT) has asked of the larger community what their desires and preferences for the adoption of an underlying framework be.
I invite you to read what Kyle has written in a summary of his overall goeals, and to head over to the JUI forum discussion to share your input.
We're excited to announce that one of our most popular templates, AvalonPro, is now Joomla 2.5-compatible and on our Wright Framework -- which makes customizing your Avalon template even easier than before!
