At Shape5 we are dedicated to saving you money! We sell memberships instead of individual products. With a membership you can download any or all products in a club, as many times as you want, all for the same price that most companies charge for just one single product! This means if you decide to change to different design later, you can do this without having to purchase a brand new design every time.
What if you could setup four websites for only $22 each? That is cheaper than most developers charge for a single theme or template. Our Best Value Membership does just this! For just $89 you can configure up to four sites using our designs, which equals to an incredibly low price of only $22 per website!
Note - A membership is not a subscription service. All products work as normal once your membership expires, and there are no automatic renewals.

What Is Vertex?
Vertex is our own template framework that our products are built on, and is one of the most flexible and powerful frameworks available. The Vertex framework is a set of functionality that creates the core logic and structure of a template, while adding many great features such as: S5 Flex Menu, Column Widths, Page Width, Multibox Popups, Tooltips, Info Slides, Google Fonts, File Compression, Responsive Options, Mobile Navigation, Color Pickers, and so much more!
Vertex is built directly into each template and does not require an additional installation. Vertex can be patched for free with the latest framework files at any time.
Every template comes loaded with options that you can use to customize your site exactly how you want it through the easy to use Vertex admin. Some features in the template configuration area are specific to a particular template, and those settings are found under the Theme Settings tab of the configuration. All other settings in the same configuration area are Vertex framework features that all Vertex templates have, and are found under the other tabs of the configuration.

Responsive Design
Templates built with Vertex 2.0+ give you an option to enable or disable a responsive layout feature. Responsive can be enabled while using both the fluid and fixed layout mentioned above giving you the ultimate flexibility in creating your site!
You can also hide areas on Vertex such as rows of modules or any HTML element! For example on a tablet or mobile phone you may not want all the modules and rows visible as once they start stacking on each other the vertical scrolling may become quite large or some modules may not be designed for responsive style websites.
Along with these functions users will also be presented an option to switch to the main non responsive version of the site when viewing the mobile version.
Flex Menu System
The S5 Flex Menu system is a very powerful plugin that provides functionality far beyond what the standard Joomla menu system can provide. Easily add in sub text for each menu item, make columns, add modules anywhere menu by simply setting a menu item to show one of the 40 menu module positions included.

Includes 40 positions, publish modules to menu items!

Font Resizer
Font resizer has 3 options: decrease, return to default size and increase to larger font sizes. This can be enabled or disabled very easily.

JavaScript Tool Set
As new web trends and features arise for web developers our library of JavaScripts continues to grow. The Javascript toolset provided by Vertex gives you the most recent in web technologics. At the flip of a switch you can enable any of these scripts to power the site you are working on to give you visitors a richer more pleasant experience.
Each JavaScript can be enabled or disabled. To ensure the fastest site load you can choose what you would like to use and what you’ll just leave behind.
Flexible Layout
Because there are so many module positions available in so many different areas, the number of layouts you can create are limitless! An average of 90 positions are included in each design!
You can adjust the width of any module contained in any module row or set it to automatic width. This allows for 60/40, 30/30/40, etc row widths. Vertex also includes a switch between fluid and fixed layouts so if you prefer fluid you can easily switch to this layout. Lastly, we've designed the articles to load before the left and right columns for SEO optimization. They are repositioned with CSS so visually you see no difference in layout.
