There are probably a dozen or so major Joomla template companies. To more accurately compare the price/features offered, I noted for each company:
- the price
- the number of domains you can use a template on
- the time you get access to updates for bug fixes, browser and Joomla updates etc
| Joomlashack | Rocket- theme | Jooml- -rt | Yoo- Theme | You- Joomla | Gavick Pro | Shape5 | |
| Price | $47 | $50 | $70 | $57 | $35 | $59 | $45 |
| # domains | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| Updates (days) | For life | 60 | 365 | 90 | 30 | 240 | 90 |
The results were interesting. I think there is a common perception that "template clubs" are an affordable way to get lots of templates, but in reality, the restrictions on domains and updates makes them quite limiting.
Joomlashack’s mission is to provide high quality professional Joomla templates that are affordable and expertly supported.
As you can see from this chart, we are leading the pack at doing just that!
Don’t forget, with Joomla 1.6 just around the corner, lifetime upgrades for your template are peace of mind for migrating your website.
