Verdict JA Dravity is a nice template suitable for a fashion or glitzy celebrity blog

By releasing JA Dravity, JoomlArt continues the mind frame from JA Corona with it's black background and swirly graphics.

Initially when Dravity was released, and even on the spec-page about Dravity it still says, it was released with only 2 color options. A later updated release added 2 more colors, which brings the total of color options to 4, 3 minor (all black with different accent colors (red /default), cyan and pink) and a LIGHT version).

The light version has a white background which gives this template a whole new different look and more of a newspaper feel that could be used for anything from a news site about the world or computers or as a plain easy to read blog.

That update turned this template from a decent template which could only really be used for fashion magazines or teen-girl sites to something that could be used in a myriad of ways.

It also adds a nice option of using a text logo with slogan (see below) instead of just using an image as a logo.

Now you have no excuse to not change the logo when installing a template, either use the text logo option and keep using it or use it until you have time to create and update your logo.

JA Dravity also comes with 4 menu options: JA Split menu, JA Suckerfish menu, JA Moo menu and JA Dropline menu; and as expected it offers XHTML transitional, css validates true and it sports 508 accessibility and cross browser support.

This is a nice template, the update raised the usability from very narrow to quite broad with the addition of the light version.

I will keep mentioning the lack of header banner, this is something most webmasters are looking for right off the bat, it is the first place you want to put your banner and JommlArt keeps avoiding to make it easy to add a banner in the header. There is no excuse for that.

There is a banner below the content area (468x60) and with the Content/Menu/Menu (CMM) layout gives it a fresh look and feel.

Last but not least, it does come with an updated JA news module which looks pretty nice; bottom line, this is a very fashionable template.
