We have been developing JSN Epic for more then 2 years and that tremendous amount of time allowed us to roll out some really advanced stuff. For us, the word “advanced” is not just fancy marketing buzz, but really something that you will not likely see anywhere else.

All JoomlaShine templates are equipped with native RTL layout support. We spent huge amount of time tweaking every tiny details of the template to make it look absolutely awesome in RTL mode. Everything is horizontally-flipped including dropdown main menu and side menu.

Let’s admit the truth, that there are still many users using IE6 browser, especially in government sectors. So IE6 will live as long as Windows XP is alive. We realized that we just can’t flush those IE6 users and made all our templates compatible with IE6.
Each template is processed thoroughly based on the http://www.virtuosimedia.com/tutorials/ultimate-ie6-cheatsheet-how-to-fix-25-internet-explorer-6-bugs ultimate IE6 cheatsheet covering 25+ IE6 bugs. All fixes for IE render problems like box model, double margin, float drops are placed in separated CSS file, which will be loaded only when browser is IE6. For fixing transparent PNG image problems we use very reliable JS script http://www.dillerdesign.com/experiment/DD_belatedPNG/ DD_belatedPNG, which is also loaded only when browser is IE6.

JSN Epic has some great features to improve your website visibility to search engines and audience with disabilities. All these SEO features are not new, but they are built-in the template and you do not have to install any additional extensions.

Source ordering

One of the most important SEO technique is to make sure that search engine can find your critical content before others. To make this possible in our template code structure we generate the “center” part first and only after that “left” and “right” columns.
In this way, you can be sure that search engines will see your critical content first. You can use Lynx browser both http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.html online or http://www.vordweb.co.uk/standards/download_lynx.htm offline to make sure of that.

Website Title

This feature allows you to use value defined in parameter Site Name from Joomla Global Configuration and show it in tag <title> on every pages. By default Joomla! presents Site Name only at back-end and offline page. Now, with parameter Website Title you can utilize Site Name at front-end on every page. This is great feature to improve your website SEO, since you can define a website title with some important keywords and show it on every page.

Top H1 tag

This feature allows you to wrap website slogan to <h1> tag, which is good for both SEO and accessibility. As we all know, <h1> is the most important content tag and search engine normally pays special attention to the content in that tag. Once you configured your keyword-powered website title and slogan, you can include them in the first h1 tag to increase SE ranking.

Module Positions

JSN Epic provides 40 module positions allowing you to have multiple layout configurations. All module positions are collapsible which means if you don’t publish any modules in some position it will not take any blank spaces leaving those for neighbor modules. Some positions are designed to arrange modules inside in horizontal layout which makes it very easy to reorder modules inside it.
