Many web design blogs, including smashingmagazine.com and blog.templatemonster.com have proven
big typography to be one of the major trends in modern web design.

This has inspired us to take a closer look at Joomla sites and find the ones which use rich typography. Below are the results of our search and a few points we’d like to mention:

  • Most often big typography is used to create online magazines and newspapers. However, many other Joomla sites use it as well. After all, rich typography is a perfect way to attract users’ attention to what a website has to say
  • Headlines are usually displayed in bold type
  • It’s a common situation that a lot of different fonts are used in the same body copy

So, here are 10 Joomla sites where you can enjoy big typography. Feel free to check them out and comment.

We often scroll Joomla websites but what if we don’t have to? What if all content is visible at a glance? But before you answer this question we would like you to see some Joomla templates. Why? Because these templates allow you build Joomla websites that users shouldn’t scroll down.

The best part about the Joomla Templates listed below is that each of them is different and can be used for a certain purpose. Whether you’re looking for a business Joomla template, a hosting Joomla template or a real estate Joomla template, you can find it here.

When prominently displayed content gets more attention and if you read an article Scrolling and Attention by Jakob Nielsen you’ll learn that “Web users spend 80% of their time looking at information above the page fold. Although users do scroll, they allocate only 20% of their attention below the fold.”

So if you’d like a website that that can be visible without scrolling, then take your time and decide which of the following Joomla Templates is good for you.
