20+ Awesome Responsive Joomla Templates

With the current supply of quality responsive Joomla templates I would say that the popular and powerful open source publishing platform have entered the mobile era. Responsive design have been one of the hottest web design topics throughout 2012 and we have seen an explosion of nice responsive themes for WordPress. Further we have seen tons of really cool websites applying responsive layouts. So if you are building a website using Joomla… you should seriously consider if you need a responsive template.

For web designers that do not deliver solutions using a CMS it is also possible to find responsive HTML templates in a really high quality. For publishing content online I recommend using publishing systems like Joomla these days and therefore usually you should use responsive HMTL templates as design frameworks and e.g. apply when building themes for publishing platforms.

When looking for a responsive Joomla template there are certain aspects to consider. First of all check the demo of the template either on a mobile device or by adjusting the browser width (I added a mobile preview on top of each screenshot below for your convenience). This will simulate that the responsiveness of the Joomla template when rendered on smaller screens. Make sure the template overall and all the modules are fully responsive and look good when rendered on different view port sizes. Other important things to check could be support for the right version of Joomla (for new sites you should get the latest version of Joomla), support for popular content extensions like K2 (if needed), if you can find the needed components and modules to build the pages and functions you planned for your site in the template package.

Again make sure you test the responsiveness of the responsive Joomla themes you want before choosing it. You can just change the size of the browser window when viewing the demos, but there are also some responsive tool you can use to make it more effective. A really great way to see more layouts at once is using the responsive presentation tool by Matt Kersley shown below.
