Morph

The swiss army knife of Joomla template frameworks.

Meet Morph. Not your average Joomla template.

Morph is a rapid template development framework for Joomla! 1.5 that provides site builders & developers with the tools they need to easily build their own and client websites with Joomla!

Gone are the days where developing for Joomla! means that the layout of the template you are using will dictate your content. Morph is designed from the ground up to be completely scalable and usable by everyone, from site builders to developers.

Explore Morph's Features

Below are just a few reasons why you should consider using Morph for your next Joomla project:

Take the Tour

  • Built to be fast. Morph is built from the ground up to only load what is actually being used, which means fast page loads.
  • Easy to extend. In the off-chance that Morph can’t do something you want, we've made it incredibly easy to extend the core functionality.
  • Developer friendly. Built with developers in mind, Morph includes a number of tools that specifically cater for the needs of developers.
  • Search Engine Optimized. Source ordered, semantic & well structured code are just a few things that will make search engines love your site.
  • 250+ layout combinations. Customize the width & position of your sidebars globally or on a per page basis using page class suffixes.
  • Block level control. Morph is made up of buiding blocks (think lego) which allow you complete control over how your site is displayed.
  • Easy to customize. Thanks to Configurator's built in tools & Morph's child-theme architecture, customizing your themelet is quick & easy.
  • Intuitive admin interface. The true power of Morph lies in its easy to use interface, allowing you to control most aspects of Morphs features.
  • Extensive documentation. We believe that comprehensive documentation is a feature & one that we continue to refine & improve.
  • Themelets, aka child themes. Themelets make up the visual layer in Morph's stack & are made up of css & images, though also supports custom code.
  • Powerful grid system. Constructing advanced page layouts is easy with Morphs built in grid system, which is powered by powerful YUI CSS.

Built using industry leading frameworks

Morph is built using the best-of-breed frameworks, providing a rich feature set without reinventing the wheel.
