The Writer Joomla template for making websites for book writers and publishers. There are 3 main elements that a website about a writer should present to the visitors. The first is the writer's biography with some key information. The second is, of course, the presentation of the books written by the author. This should include all the previous works, as well as the most recent work. The third element should include events, such as book readings or book signing. This will make the website up-to-date with the actual happenings related to the writer.
Reading books is important because it expands your knowledge and broadens your perspective on various topics. It enhances vocabulary and language skills, making communication more effective. Reading also stimulates the mind, improving focus and concentration. Books can reduce stress by providing an escape into different worlds and stories. Additionally, they foster empathy by allowing readers to experience life through the eyes of different characters.
Good writers are artists in the truest sense of the word. At the same time, they are usually business owners. Therefore, they need a website where they will present themselves, and their work and inform the readers about the upcoming events.
The Writer Joomla template will be of great help to achieve this goal. It has a clean home page design that contains all the elements a writer's website should have. The interior pages dig deeper into the writer's biography and work. There are dedicated pages for book collections as well as pages for each separate book.
There's also a separate section for the events related to the writer. It's developed in the form of a blog page with the latest information included on the home page as well.
Page Builder
The Writer template is combined with the Sparky - Joomla Page Builder. That's a native Joomla editor that gives you the ability to create a custom page structure and add content. You can use this editor to edit the text and media without coding. It's based on the drag-and-drop technology.
The Sparky Page Builder lets you edit all the content visually. It lets you create a page layout using rows and columns. Then you can fill them up with simple blocks. Each block is a page element, such as a paragraph, heading, image, list, etc. The page builder's output is pure HTML code that you can also edit in all other Joomla editors.
The Sparky Framework
The Sparky Framework is a powerful Joomla template framework. This is the parent template of the Writer template. All the power of this framework is transferred to the Writer child template.
In the template options, you can use drag-and-drop Layout Builder to adjust or add more module positions. The framework also lets you select Google fonts and host them locally. Change all the colors, menus, logo images, and more without hassle. Based on your settings, the framework creates static CSS and Javascript files for your website, so you don't have to code them yourself.
Carousel Module
Although the carousel is not included on the home page of this template, it's included in the template package. If you prefer, you can use it for the home or other pages of your website.
This responsive module allows you to create a slide show containing the images and textual messages. Add, edit, and reorder the slides easily with this module.
Menus
The Writer Joomla template includes a responsive drop-down menu with submenu links. All the settings of the drop-down menu and its submenus are in the template parameters.
Besides the drop-down menu type, the framework lets you use other menu types, such as an off-canvas menu, mega menu, horizontal menu, and static menu. You can use a single menu for your website or add multiple menus of different types throughout the website.
