rasa - clean and simple business template

While the Rasa Joomla template is not quite a blank slate it’s certainly a good clean and simple Joomla template to start building your business website from. It is an elegant template with built in support for K2 plus it’s built on our Zen Grid Framework which makes it easy and intuitive to work with.

Simplicity and power or is it power in simplicity …
This month we decided to go back to basics and create a template with a simple and universal appeal. Joomla Bamboo templates are renowned as being simple, clean and minimal aesthetic and so the Rasa theme is a 2010 version of

Simple Slideshow and microblog
A key feature of the front page of the demo site is the combination of the slideshow and microblog modules. They were well together to create a slick news / content aggregation system that uses two modules and a multitude of layout variations. You can see the layout options available for the microblog module here.

Built on the Zen Grid Framework
Our Zen Grid framework makes it incredibly easy to make layout and colour changes to your site with zero templating or coding knowledge. No more digging into code to adjust the width of an element and logo replacement is a breeze. The new framework also sports a brand new template interface that puts the plethora of Zen Grid parameters into an easy to use and understand user interface.

K2 Template
We are big fans of the K2 component for Joomla and every front end template we have released this year has come replete with a full K2 template. K2 is often described as Joomla 1.6 for Joomla 1.5 but in a nutshell it provides extra functionality that extends the content options and potential for Joomla. The newstream K2 Joomla template is designed to be used as a blog / magazine layout and supports multiple author websites.

50+ Module Positions
There are 50+ module positions in this template and because its built on the Zen Grid framework it means that the module positions are the same as used in all of our other zen grid framework compatible themes. This means less overhead in learning where the positions are as well as learning how to configure them.

Google Web fonts support
The Zen Grid Framework is now capable of supporting Google font replacement. Font replacement has been around for a while but with varied results across browsers. Google’s solution is the most solid font replacement solution in our opinion and so we have added some flexible options for implementing replacement fonts in your template.
