Download: Click here to download.

The template is 1.5 only. The package contains a normal template .zip file, another with compressed CSS and finally a full Joomla 1.5.7 site with the template correctly set up.

Demo: Click here to see a live demo.

Feedback: Click here to send us your feedback.

If you have any questions at all, rather than direct feedback, please feel free to email us at [email protected]
