Joomla Monster’s Design Approach

Joomla Monster ethos is to be innovative, professional and provide a fresh design approach when developing our templates.

Our design process starts with selecting the appropriate template name and the industry it will serve.  We take into account industry design norms and trends when undertaking the selection, such as blue being more appropriate for the financial sector etc. Functionality requirements appropriate to the particular industry the template is being designed for is discussed at this stage.  This can include an image rich template for an online store or event templates.

The design preparation is the next step and involves our graphic department designing the professional Joomla templates.  This step is one of the most extensive in our template production process.  The graphic designers aim is to create templates with graphics and images that are unique in comparison to our competitors to ensure our customers receive a template that best matches their needs and requirements.

The next step is the coding of the template graphics, images and functionality.

Coding of Professional Joomla Templates

Joomla Monster uses current standards in coding when developing professional Joomla templates for our customers.   Joomla Monster is committed to wherever possible, using CSS3 styles so as to ensure the site is not overloaded with unnecessary background images or animation which hinder opening speeds and SEO.  Our goal is ensure our customers receive a site that is flexible and that will grow with them as their business grows and develops.  That includes taking into account new technology when developing the best Joomla templates.   This reflects in creating responsive templates, which means they adjust to smaller screens to fit mobile phones and tablets.
 

Testing

Joomla Monsters commitment to high standards of excellence ensures that we test all our Joomla Templates using a through and rigorous testing standard to ensure the code is clear and well commented to ensure that advanced users will easily be able to modify the template code, if required.

Extension Development

As a result of Joomla Monsters extensive experience and hands-on approach we have developed a number of innovations to ensure that our customers receive a unique solution.  This includes the development of a number of Joomla extensions that we use to the benefit of Joomla Monsters designed templates, including demo sites.

Joomla Monster uses the appropriate extensions that are most suited to the theme and functionality requirements for each professional Joomla template.  Joomla Monster does not charge an extra fee for these extensions, if we incorporate their functionality into the design template.

The extensions are created by our sister company DJ-Extensions and have been developed to ensure that they are user friendly for both users and administrators.
For example:

  • DJ-Catalog2 - a great solution for your product presentation
  • DJ-Classifieds - a classifieds component with many useful functionality such like custom fields, advanced search, google map or paid classifieds
  • DJ-ImageSlider - a slider gallery with various views
