Were you talking about prothemer or joomlajunkie site?

Anyway, many thanks for your comment. Greatly appreciated

I analyzed back your comment, looks like you could be new to Joomla as well. Welcome abroad and I’ll assure you, you’ll be thanking yourself later on for choosing Joomla and Morph

I also hope you have done your research on choosing Joomla as your perfect CMS. If J! does match all your needs then why not?

Sorry that I assume you were Joomla user, which explains some of my comments earlier are bit Joomla-specific.

Hopefully you get the rough idea and general inputs.

Just sharing my thoughts as Prothemer user/customer, hopefully you take it as recommendation from 3rd party/end-user, rather than self-promotion (I took that word from Tess herself ).

I am one of Morph customer/user for like a week and so. To be perfectly honest, Morph isn’t exactly what I imagine it was.

Turned out it does MORE than I expected. Of course that comes in a way that THEY (Prothemer) set it up, not the way I imagined it was. In other words, there is no shortcut for me to learn Configurator and Morph. So the only challenge for myself was to learn the method of using the tools (Configurator, Morph, themelets) and anything that comes after is only limited by my imagination and creativity.

With so many commercial components, template club I subscribed, I can rank Prothemer/JJ to share 1st place for best technical support together with JReview. While for template club, I’ll rank them 1st among all others, hands down.

I have no background in coding or programming at all, I picked up Joomla 1.5 specifically just last year. Even with such limited knowledge, Morph has benefit me a lot in terms of setting up faster, prettier and standard-compliant website. Looks like you are more experienced and skilled webmaker, so I am sure it will benefit you in all sort of ways!

This link provided by Anahita team for my pesonal matters really help me into investing with Morph sooner than later: http://blog.rmdstudio.com/2009/10/01/lose-the-feature-list-and-start-experiencing/

my $0.02

ps: The way I see it, Morph is not only a superb platform in templating, but performs some basic function like Google Analytics right out the box, components-specific sidebars width flexibility and more! (i.e. very basic feature of MetaMod; better than nothing) that is not doable/available with other templates.

Big THANK YOU for taking the time and making the effort to write such a solid comment! Very much appreciated by the whole team here.

I know Chris is compiling an answer to your questions, addressing your points in more details than I can do, so sit tight.

To give you a short answer: you ARE one of the type of users that we are developing Morph for! You’re perfect. The things you want to improve when it comes to your Joomla website development is what Morph should help you with.

The Morph framework is your starting point and for example aimed at saving you time on the repetitive work you (always) do in the beginning of a project. We’ve written a little bit of what can be done with Morph here: http://www.prothemer.com/morph/about-morph/what-morph-can-do-for-you.html

We will write comprehensive tutorials, make videos etc specifically for webdesigners/devs wanting to use Morph to build your custom client sites with your own themelets…we just need and want to get the Morph toolset stable first (days away now).

Any more thoughts, let us know and we’ll happily reply…and even take it on as a challenge if it’s not already included.

Cheers,
Tess
