New Joomla Templates by JoomlArt – JA Lime

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

JoomlArt is famous for bringing great templates to the Joomla community. For the month of February, JoomlArt decided to showcase a new magazine template for its extensive database.

JA Lime incorporates three main colors which is the shade of blacks, red and white. In a first glance, users would see that the theme looks extremely simple but yet it has that hint of professionalism as well. However, due to the usage of white, it does make the website seems empty in a way.

The overall layout of the website isn’t centered by default like most websites on the Internet. Instead, it is aligned to the left. This difference would be very noticeable to people that are using high resolution screens as it makes the eye look at the left side instead of the center.

The usage of slideshow gives the template the magazine aura that it deserves to get. Currently there are three different slideshows at its demo page. However, users can add more slideshows should they wish to once they have purchased this theme.

All in all, the JA Lime looks very fashionable and with a little tweaking, it would make a good template for any website. Its simplicity may be its best trait as well.
