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.


Backend Interface

A beautiful user friendly Vertex administration area gives you full control over your template.

  • GUI makes template configuration a breeze

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.

Too Many Features to List

The following are just some features of Vertex that we’ve highlighted. Be sure to test drive Vertex today to really see all the features listed.



Google Fonts

Pick from over 600 Google fonts to apply as the main font on your website. Vertex allows you to preview the fonts through its interface as well.

RTL Support

Vertex comes with right to left language support. This is done automatically, by reading the site's language direction setting in the language ini file.

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.

Parallax Backgrounds

You can turn on a parallax feature which causes the background image of the row to scroll at a different speed than your browser scrolls for a nice effect.

CSS/JS Compression

Vertex comes with right to left language support. This is done automatically, by reading the site's language direction setting in the language ini file.

Upgradeable

Vertex is built on an upgradeable framework. This means as we release new versions of Vertex older templates will be able to take advantage of all the newly added features and changes.

Drop Down Panel

The Drop Down Panel is a slide down panel that will appear at the top of your site. The panel itself contains six module positions. You may publish any module that you wish into these positions.

Fixed Tabs

You can enable up to two fixed side tabs on your site at one time! Just add text to the fixed tab fields in the admin and they will show on the frontend.

Cross Browser Support

Vertex supports all new versions of the most popular browsers such as: Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and more.



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.
