Gantry is Free and GPL-ed
The great news is that RocketTheme made their framework available to you via the GPL license. You are free to use it in your template development projects. They have fully documented Gantry to give you full details and information on how to use Gantry in your own template design projects. RocketTheme's club members have full access to the Gantry Forums for further assistance and insight. Currently the Documentation covers the Joomla version of the Framework. Documentation for other platforms like WordPress and Drupal will be provided by RocketTheme at a later stage.
Gantry Key Features
- 960 Grid System: 12 & 16 Column Support
- Per menu-item level control over any configuration parameter: Layouts, colors, features, etcetera can all be different for any menu item
- Flexible grid layout system for unparalleled control over block sizes: Control the sizes of your blocks with simple grid layout controls
- 65 base module positions: Plenty of modules included, but adding even more is a trivial procedure
- 38 possible layout combinations for mainbody and sidebars: The mainbody and sidebars now have an unprecedented level of control.
Free Gantry Based Template and Demo
Rockettheme's free Quasar Template is the first Free/GPL template built with the new Gantry Framework. I believe it is a perfect opportunity for you to start familiarize yourself with a complete new toolset for your Joomla template projects.
