After successful submission of the Contact form, by default, Joomla 1.5 displays an information message "Thank you for contacting us" or similar, depending of your language preferences. From my experience, many clients prefer separate "Thank you" page, after the contact form is submitted. On that page, they usually put informational text, like when clients may expect answer or Google Maps code with physical company location.

Joomla menus

Our templates have the fast-loading, jQuery based top menu with nested sublevel items. Sublevel opens with a nice animation effect, per your selection in template parameters. Core Joomla files are not hacked. Module position User3 is reserved for the top menu. Please type "nav" in Menu Tag ID. Menu type should be set to "list".

Default Joomla 404 page

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