GlobalBizJuly 2005 Joomla Template

GlobalBiz
Joomla 1.5

July 2005 Template is a very clean template that can be used for a variety of applications. This template is based very loosely on SolarFlare II but has 2 interesting twists. First this template uses a very lightweight list-style split-menu system that supports up to 2 levels. Secondly, due to the highly CSS-oriented nature of this template, there are buttons on the top of the template to allow for changing the contrast and also adjust the font size in real-time.

This template is a fixed width design, that is extremely light-weight with a minimal amount of images used. Most UI elements are driven by CSS and this allows the dynamic adjustment of fonts and images.
