Introduction

Templating

Gantry 5 is a comprehensive set of building blocks to enable the rapid development and realization of a design into a flexible and powerful web platform template.


Gantry 5 Framework

  • Please visit http://gantry.org to download a FREE Joomla Gantry 5 default theme (Hydrogen) which can be used as a base for your own template!

Gantry 5 is packed full of features created to empower the development of designs into fully functional layouts with the absolute minimum effort and fuss.

Responsive Layout System

Gantry 5 uses the Nucleus grid system, built from scratch using Flexbox and tied in to the Layout Manager to generate classes.

Cross-platform Support

The new responsive Gantry 5 framework is available for WordPress 4.2+, Joomla 3.4+ and Grav 1.0+.

Intuitive YAML-driven Configuration

YAML is a human-readable data serialization, making it easy to create and configure blueprints for back-end configuration options.

Twig Templating

Gantry 5 utilizes Twig to make creating powerful, dynamic themes quick and easy.

New Administrative Interface

Gantry 5's administrative interface has been completely rebuilt from the ground up to meet the needs of tomorrow's developer, today.

Infinitely Customizable

Gantry 5 is the most customizable and powerful version of the framework yet, featuring drag-and-drop customization controlling virtually every aspect of the site's layout and design.

New Particles System

Gantry 5's new Particles system makes it easy to create, configure, and manage content blocks. Create new Particles in minutes, adjust their settings at multiple levels from global down to the individual block, and more!

Flexible and Easy Layout Manager

Set up and configure page layouts with Gantry 5's new Layout Manager. Featuring drag-and-drop functionality that gives you the power to place content blocks, resize them, and configure their unique settings in seconds. Load layout presets or duplicate the layout of another Outline with a click of the mouse, and customize virtually every aspect of the page layout without ever having to touch a text editor.

No Programming Experience Necessary

Adding and moving positions, resizing blocks, and more can be done with drag-and-drop simplicity in the new, powerful Layout Manager. Error pages and other areas of site design are also easily handled in Gantry 5's administrative interface. You can change almost any aspect of a theme without breaking out a single editor.

Powerful Menu Editor

Change the way your site's menus look with Gantry 5's powerful Menu Editor. Quickly insert Particles, rearrange menu items, and add icons in seconds.

New Outline System

Theme overrides are now part of Gantry 5's Outline system, enabling you to easily create and manage Layouts, Settings, Styles, and more and assign them as needed.

Use SCSS, LESS or CSS

Gantry 5 has built-in support for SCSS and pure CSS, with the ability to support LESS.

High quality framework



Posted on 16 November 2022
Functionality
After all these years, it remains a high quality template framework.
Ease of use
Quite easy. At least much simpler than the other frameworks I have tried.
Support
I have used the support via chat sometimes. They do their best to give answers.
Documentation
The documentation is very good for the basic/first steps. I only needed to read it the first couple times. Then it was easy for the basics.
I used this to: I have built many very good websites using Gantry. After so many updates over the years, it has the least possible bug issues.

Template sympa et customisable

Functionality
Beaucoup de fonctionnalité, je me suis contenté d'un usage basique mais super rendu
Ease of use
Pour un usage basique relativement facile. Permet de configurer le template facilement.
Support
Documentation
I used this to: Template de mon site, bon rendu Des découvertes tous les jours sur les possibilités

Loved it!

Functionality
Of the best frameworks around. Utilises several ways (twig, scss...) for templating. Graphic interface saves time and gets most things done.
Ease of use
Easy, but not for novices. The more you learn the easier it is to configure it, and get lots of things done through its graphic interface.
Documentation
Covers the basics, and is a must-read. Could have been more explanatory on various options in configuration.
I used this to: Building custom templates (there is Hydrogen and Helium provided for free with Gantry 5, to start). It is helpful with achieving great styling and looks, while it gives good management of several aspets of templating, and makes templating very time-efficient.

Frustrating

Functionality
Missing basic feature like customize sub-menus colors, so "No experience required" and "Configure anything and everything" is not real.

not so easy.

didn't need it
Documentation
well documented, was very helpful when i need it to create a particle
I used this to: build my entire website template
Functionality
You can do almost anything with it. From layoiut and menu management, to js and css scripts, it gives everything you could ask for.
Ease of use
Easy to install, easy to update, easy to maintain, easy to use. Most of its functionallity is drag and drop. Couldn't be easier.

Great documentation, which contains almost everything. Comprehensive, with simple imstructions and videos.
I used this to: Every Joomla! project I create. My only choice!
Functionality
Everything you need to build complex layouts and pages
Ease of use
Very easy
Support
you don't need it
Documentation
Great documentation , needed only for creating particles and atoms
I used this to: Our clients websites
Functionality
Cumbersome in every aspect. Documentation is extremely poor. They never explain in depth how it works.
Ease of use
Full of bugs, took me and my collegue two weeks to make a website that we could build in just a few hours. Mobile menu is completely nuts...
Documentation
Very poor. They don't go in detail. They just mention self-explanatory things, their documentation is obsolete in many cases.
I used this to: I used it to create a very very simple website. Whatever i do the website looks like a crap, full of bugs, the menu is the worst of all. When menu items expand, they go bellow cover image, mobile menu either wont display or it will display in the wrong place. And so many more.

Very very useful

Functionality
A good combination of simple and rich functionality. But I wouldn't say no to more particles.
Ease of use
I think it can't be easier according to the possibilities it supplies.
Support
No need for support.
Documentation
Very useful. It helped to have a quick progress.
I used this to: I use this to create some simple but good looking websites.

Very poor expansion
