Joomla 1.5 reviews: Templates, components, modules

Yoga VI by pc-didi will get your Yoga website in shape.  The graphics - sky, grass, trees and flowers with the seated girl stretching and meditating - work well together.  The colors, graphics and theme all come together to create a calming and natural feel.  While I like the theme of the template, it does have a distinctly Asian feel which limits its use to a wider audience.  For example, changing the girl in the background and the header would require going into the back end to make modifications. There are no customizable parameters and this template appears to utilize default Joomla! Positions.  There is also a link to the template designer in the footer.  The template passed our cross browser test in both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

The layout was well done.  However, what appears to be a poor use of space (image 3 in photo gallery) is easily remodeled via the module manager.  The template had some good aesthetics like the flowers hanging down from the top of the page.  I also liked that the static background.  Overall, Yoga VI was a little cliche, but well put together.  If I had an easy way to change the girl or add a different girl without going into the back end, it would of been excellent.
