JA Polaris - Adding usability to Joomla template design

主题名称： Polaris

主题类型： Joomlart商业主题

适用程序： Joomla 1.0.x & Mambo 4.5.3


Joomla! template design is a complex and time consuming process, and there is tension between designing for beauty and designing for function. While other Joomla! template providers tend to put most of the design effort into a graphic based job and give very slight attention to the simplicities and usability of the template, JoomlArt always keeps our goals to make the templates both pleasurable and functional, appealing and usable with a text and CSS based layout. In fact, as you can see in most of our JA joomla template club, simple and usable design is the approach of our templates and is also the gold of our templates.


JA Polaris - September JA Joomla Club template is released under this concept.


This joomla template is built to responsd to many needs. We have 4 selections of color ('brown', 'green', 'red', 'blue') and 3 options for menus ( JA Split Menu, SuckerFish,Transmenu). Our designers always define the template concept and develope the template in a user-benefit oriented way. With an in depth look into JA Polaris as well as other JA templates, you can recognize the following:

For your site visitors


    * Loads faster - less waiting

    * Render faster - quicker responsiveness

    * Easier to read and scan for key information

    * Easier to navigate

Color Variations


With JA Polaris, the Site Tools and Colors Switcher has been revamped using both PHP (server side) and Javascript (client/browser side) to enhance the accessibility and improve the performance for browsers. We will explain this technique in full details in a template tutorials which will be published in late September.
