The Morph toolset for Joomla – stable version just released

We are thrilled to announce that Morph, Configurator & Vanilla are all officially out of beta! It’s taken us just under a year to get us to this point and what an amazing ride its been!

We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has helped us get to this point – from our early beta testers, to those of you who have been intimately involved in Morphs evolution – we really couldn’t have achieved half of what we have without you!

We have done a small bit of restructuring in the downloads, but you’ll find Configurator and the Morph template in “Morph Framework” and the themelets in, yup you guessed it – “Morph Themelets“. Any of the old url’s will automatically redirect, in case you have any of them bookmarked. (more…)
