You have probably already heard about the responsive web design or about the responsive web sites and the responsive templates. Many people don't make any difference between the regular and the responsive web design. This is a new approach in web design, not because it uses some new or super modern techniques, but because it's needed today much more than it was needed in the past. On this page, we will explain why responsive websites are so popular these days.

Whenever you have too long pages, for better user experience, it's recommended to separate it to the several subpages. This feature exists in Joomla from the early days. It's performed by the Pagebreak plugin that comes with default Joomla installation. However, in the later Joomla versions it's enhanced and has more power. The options are "hidden" in the Plugin Manager and many Joomla users don't even know they exist.

Google Web Fonts is a collection of fonts that you can use on your websites for free. There are several standard fonts that we use in web design that we all have installed on our computers. Those fonts are Arial, Verdana, Times New Roman, and a few more. You probably know that you can select any font in your CSS stylesheets just by entering its name. But beware, if your visitor doesn't have this font installed on his operating system, his browser will show one of the default fonts. As a result of this, your design may look broken on the visitor's browser.

Joomla 1.6 and all later versions brought many improvements in Joomla's templating system. One of them is the ability to have several styles (variants) of one template. For templates that come without parameters or with just a few of them, it's not important. However, for Joomla templates that count many parameters, it could be a nice feature.

Languages that use this system are based on Arabic alphabet (Arabic, Persian...), Hebrew alphabet (Hebrew, Yiddish...), and many more.

Joomla installed on your server will change the default browser's 404 page to something that you can see in this picture. It's not perfect, but still better than the default browser error page. At least, there's a link that leads to the home page of your website. Not bad, but could be much better.
