The highly anticipated Gantry 5 beta for Joomla is now available, and we have all the info you need to take part in testing the next-generation framework.

Imagine being able to change fonts, colors, and more in seconds without ever touching your keyboard. This is possible with Gantry 5 thanks to its innovative new set of pickers.

One of the newest additions to the Gantry framework coming in Gantry5 is the powerful Menu Editor. This global administrative panel gives you the ability to quickly and easily enhance your site’s menus.

One of the most difficult and time-consuming tasks associated with migrating your Joomla site from one template to another is having to reassign all of your modules from one position naming scheme to another.

When we started the Gantry5 project, we wanted to think past the concept of Gantry as a framework. We wanted to create something so versatile and powerful, that it could stand on its own as a platform, virtually independent of a CMS in concept and implementation.

In our ongoing series of blog posts about Gantry5, we are covering some of the goals the RocketTheme team has for the next generation of the framework.

Gantry5 is a complete rewrite of the Gantry Framework. Gantry5 incorporates a lot of new features that are quickly becoming the standard for modern Web applications, without the now-obsolete features necessary for previous versions of the platforms.

Gantry5 is without a doubt RocketTheme's most ambitious project to date. It is set to not only be the most flexible and powerful version of the Gantry Framework yet, but also the fastest.

Speed is vital to conversions. When it comes to page load times, every millisecond counts. Each moment a visitor is waiting for a page to load is a chance for them to hit the Back button and move on to the next result in their search.

When it comes to generating traffic and search engine optimization (SEO), few practices are as universally recommended as producing quality written content on your site.
