What's inside JA Stratum

A modern SaaS homepage

The homepage is built for software products: a strong hero section, dashboard preview, platform features, statistics, pricing, testimonials, FAQ, and conversion-focused calls to action - everything a SaaS landing page needs, out of the box.

Ready-made SaaS pages

JA Stratum ships with the pages software teams actually use:

  • Integrations - present your product ecosystem and connected tools
  • Pricing - clear, structured plan comparison
  • Changelog - keep users up to date with product releases
  • Solutions - map your product to different use cases

Dark & Light Mode, from day one

JA Stratum supports both dark and light visual styles natively - the modern, premium look that cloud platforms, developer tools and technology brands expect.

Content & company pages

Modern blog and article layouts are ready for product updates, engineering posts and tutorials, while dedicated Company, About and Team pages help you build trust with your story, values, customer stories and hiring CTAs. Every standard Joomla page - login, registration, profile, contact, search, error and offline - is fully styled too.

Built on T4, ready for Joomla 6

Powered by the T4 Framework, JA Stratum gives you advanced layout control, theme customization and a performance-focused structure. It's built for Joomla 6, the platform's latest generation.

JA Stratum is a Joomla 6 template. Not on Joomla 6 yet? Our T4 toolkit - Page Builder, Framework and Blank Template - is now fully Joomla 6 ready to help you make the move smoothly.

Get JA Stratum

JA Stratum is available now and included with any JoomlArt membership - one plan unlocks Stratum, all 200+ templates, the full T4 toolkit, and everything we ship next.

June was one of our busiest months yet. We brought built-in Dark Mode to 13 templates - and rebuilt the entire T4 toolkit to be ready for Joomla 6. Here's the full recap.

templates in one plan

Dark Mode arrived on 13 templates

Dark Mode was the headline of the month. One by one, we added a built-in light / dark toggle to 13 of our most popular templates - each with automatic detection of the visitor's system preference, a remembered choice for returning visitors, and your existing light design left fully intact.

Templates updated with Dark Mode in June

Switching on takes one quick template update - your content and settings stay exactly where they are. Prefer light only? Leave it: light mode remains the default and untouched.

The T4 toolkit is now Joomla 6 ready

It wasn't only about looks. We also shipped a major update to the T4 ecosystem, focused on Joomla 6 compatibility, PHP 8.x support, and improved stability across the board - so upgrading your site is smoother and safer.

What we updated

  • T4 Page Builder v2.2.0 - full Joomla 6 support, with the same drag-and-drop visual editing
  • T4 Framework v2.6.0 - Joomla 6 compatible and more stable across T4-based templates
  • T4 Builder Article Integration Plugin v2.2.0 - smoother Joomla article editing inside the builder
  • T4 Blank Template v1.2.0 - a clean Joomla 6 starting point for developers and agencies

If you're planning a move to Joomla 6, this release is built to make that transition reliable - tested for modern hosting environments and the latest Joomla backend changes.

Why this matters

Modern visitors expect a dark option, and Joomla 6 is the platform's next chapter. In a single month, your JoomlArt collection moved forward on both fronts - and the roll-out keeps going into July, with more dark-mode templates and ongoing Joomla 6 updates landing week after week.

The simplest way to get all of it? A JoomlArt membership. One plan unlocks every template above, the full T4 toolkit, and everything we ship next.

Dark Mode is moving quickly across the JoomlArt template collection. In just one week, seven Joomla templates have been updated with built-in light and dark mode support.

This is part of our ongoing effort to keep JoomlArt templates modern, flexible, and easier to use for real websites. Whether you run a business site, magazine, travel portal, non-profit project, or agriculture brand, your visitors can now enjoy a cleaner browsing experience in both light and dark styles.

No redesign required. These updates are built into the templates, so your existing light design remains untouched while Dark Mode becomes available as an additional viewing option.

7 Templates Updated with Dark Mode

JoomlArt

This week’s rollout brings Dark Mode support to the following templates:

JA Vega

Business and corporate Joomla template with a modern professional design.

JA Morgan

Multipurpose business template for companies, agencies, and service websites.

JA Impact

NGO and non-profit template for campaigns, events, donations, and causes.

JA Vogue

Fashion, lifestyle, and magazine template with strong visual storytelling.

JA Trip

Travel and tour template for destinations, tour packages, and travel blogs.

JA Spark

Modern multipurpose Joomla template for creative and business websites.

JA Agrivita

Agriculture and organic farming template for farms, food brands, and green businesses.

What Dark Mode Adds to Your Website

Dark Mode gives your visitors more control over how they view your site. Some users prefer a brighter interface during the day, while others prefer a darker layout at night or in low-light environments.

With these updates, each supported template now offers a more flexible front-end experience without changing your content structure, menu setup, modules, or existing layouts.

Main highlights

  • Built-in Light / Dark Mode support
  • Clean sun / moon toggle for visitors
  • Automatic system preference detection
  • Remembered mode selection for returning visitors
  • Dark styling refined across key template pages
  • Existing Light Mode design preserved
  • Simple template update process

Why We Are Rolling This Out Across More Templates

Dark Mode is no longer just a visual trend. It has become a common expectation across apps, operating systems, dashboards, and modern websites.

For Joomla site owners, this means a site can feel more current and user-friendly without needing a complete redesign. That is why we are gradually bringing Dark Mode to more templates in the JoomlArt library, starting with popular templates across different categories.

The goal is simple: help your existing Joomla website stay fresh, while giving you more design flexibility for new projects.

A Better Experience Across Different Website Types

Each template serves a different type of website, so the Dark Mode treatment has been adjusted to fit the purpose of each design.

For business websites

Templates like JA Vega, JA Morgan, and JA Spark benefit from a sharper, more polished presentation that works well for corporate profiles, service pages, portfolios, and landing pages.

For content-heavy websites

JA Vogue and JA Trip can now offer a more comfortable reading experience for magazine articles, travel stories, destination guides, and blog content.

For cause-driven and niche websites

JA Impact and JA Agrivita now support a modern dark interface while keeping the warmth and clarity needed for non-profit, agriculture, organic, and community-focused websites.

How to Update Your Template

If you are already using one of the updated templates, you can access Dark Mode by installing the latest template package from JoomlArt.

  1. Go to your JoomlArt account and download the latest version of your template.
  2. Install the update over your current template version.
  3. Open your site and test the Light / Dark Mode toggle in the front-end header.
  4. Review your main pages to make sure everything looks right with your own content and images.

Your existing content, modules, and template settings remain in place during the update.

If your website uses heavy custom CSS or third-party extensions, we recommend checking the main pages after updating to make sure custom sections also look good in Dark Mode.

More Updates Are Coming

This seven-template rollout is another step in our wider update plan for the JoomlArt collection. We will continue improving templates with modern features, compatibility updates, design refinements, and Joomla platform support.

If your favorite template is not in this batch yet, stay tuned. More Dark Mode updates and template improvements are on the way.

Thank you for using JoomlArt.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW HOME!

Here at JoomlArt we are so excited that Joomla 3.1 stable version has been released this morning. We have been following the release dates closely ever since Joomla 3.1 first announcement was out and played with all of the Beta versions including the recent Beta 5. This is an important release due to the many new features including the much anticipated Tags feature. Apart from it, the Joomla 3.1 release also includes few more exciting new features :

Last night Joomla announced that the T3 Framework for Joomla responsive templates will be officially integrated into the upcoming Joomla 3.5 distribution with an early alpha release with Joomla 3.1. This is fantastic news, as 6 years ago JA Purity won the Joomla Template Contest and now its our template framework, the day is not far when all Joomla templates will be based on our T3 framework.

At JoomlArt we are very excited about this and have already started working on early integration of T3 framework with the Joomla 3.1 release scheduled April 15th 2013. We have been thrilled ever since this idea was introduced after the release of Joomla 3.1 during last years World Joomla Conference held in San Jose, California. T3 Framework is the best of the best Joomla template framework especially for the responsive templates for Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.0 and is the best solution for ease of use and its ability to personally customize each template to a previously unthinkable level of detail.

We are happy to roll out JA Edenite as last of the upgraded template for Joomla 1.6, based on the JoomlArt T3 V2 Framework. July will see regular Joomla 1.6 template being released. August onwards, we shall have templates for Joomla 1.7 and all Joomla 1.6 templates will be taken up for upgrade to Joomla 1.7 and once completed, we shall resume the upgrade of older templates to Joomla 1.7.

There has been a lot of confusion around Joomla 1.6 recently. After 3 years of heavy coding this major upgrade has been finally released in early 2011. Right now many users are wondering what 3rd party support for J1.6 will look like in the next months. Does it make any sense to start a website in J1.6 at the moment? How long should I wait until making any movements for my clients?

Good news at the end of year 2010: Waiting time is over for a new star amongst magazine templates. With JA Teline IV the popular Teline Family gets a new member which is a hot discussed and long waited template for media, magazine and news publishing sites. Back in 2007, the original JA Teline was a major breakthrough for our JA Template Club and since every new Teline version has been a big time hit - with top downloads and thread counts in the forum. We have spent a big deal of time to improve its flexibility, usability and ease of customization while adding new sophisticated typo elements for your variety.
