Gantry was born when the RocketTheme development team wanted to consolidate extensive sets of custom Joomla template functionality into a simple, easy to use framework. Gantry allows for creativity and bleeding-edge design features. It is powerful enough to do everything the templates already handled, but allow for easily extended and built-on these features with a minimum of effort and complexity.
Gantry offers a solid base to build on top of when creating a new Joomla template. Anything that was common to all templates was a prime candidate to be put in the core of Gantry, and anything specific to the template design itself should be part of the template itself. Traditionally the Joomla layout options are limited, but Gantry was built to provide a new layer on top of this traditional module configuration to give an unprecedented level of control and flexibility.
Gantry is a powerful framework that RocketTheme uses as the basis for all of its new Joomla template designs, and it's available to you. You are free to use it in your template development projects. Please check with an FBb sales member on how to implement Gantry in your own projects.
