Flat design become popular in responsive design era because it's based on simple elements without any illusion of three dimensional space. Elements that provide a three-dimensional illusion, such as borders, shadows, and textures are omitted in flat designs. Therefore, flat designs are focused on a minimalist use of simple elements and flat colors. Such elements create a clean user interface that can be reproduced perfectly on all screen sizes. If a website is based on the flat Joomla template, it will give the same feeling on all devices used to access this website.
The home page of the flat Joomla template is a long page with many elements that you can use or change to fit your needs or even disable. The Hot Swipe Carousel below the top menu changes the layout according to the screen space. It's can be controlled easily on touch screens with touch gestures. The main content has one column on the home page and two columns on the inner pages (the right column is added).
There is a new element in the flat Joomla template that is never used on our templates before. This new feature that you can see on this flat template is filterable content boxes. Check how they look and work under the Our Portfolio section on the flat template demo. You can put any content inside the boxes and create as many categories as you need. The filterable content boxes can be used as a module (they are used like that on this Flat Joomla template) or you can include them even in your articles. Please read our tutorial about filterable content boxes in Joomla for more details.
Flat template also contains a design for the pricing table. It's made as a custom HTML module, so you can change its content easily. Another instance of the Swipe Carousel contains clients' testimonials. Finally, the Flat Joomla template includes a contact module (powered by Rapid Contact) and the Google maps module. The maps are based on our latest Hot Maps v2.0 module, powered by Google Maps API.
