More about News Cast

News Cast is laid out like a magazine: a slide of a city at night, then banner spaces above and beside a stack of article teasers with large photos. It suits a site that earns from advertising.

News Cast is built for Joomla 6, and its demo runs Joomla 6.2.0.

Six ready-made colour styles you switch between in the template settings.
Colour pickers in the template settings, if you want your own scheme.
63 module positions, so you can put modules where you need them.
A slideshow you fill with your own images and captions.
Links for 13 social networks, including X, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.
A favicon tool in the template settings.
A tab for your own header and footer code.
The Photoshop file from the original design.

Thinking of building more than one site?

The Template Club gets you 72 templates for $99, with 12 months of downloads, updates and support. News Cast on its own is $44.

Questions.

Will my site look like the demo?

Yes, if you start a new site with the Quickstart. It installs Joomla, the template and the demo content in one go. Then you swap in your own words and pictures. On a site you already have, install the template package and set up the modules to match the demo.

Does it work on Joomla 6?

Yes. News Cast is built for Joomla 6, from 6.0, and its demo runs on it.

What happens after 3 months?

The template keeps working on your site. Your downloads, updates and support stop. To get them back, renew from your account. Nothing renews by itself.

How many sites can I use it on?

One. For another site, buy it again, or look at the Template Club.

How do I pay?

With PayPal. The price is in US dollars. Your download is ready as soon as the payment clears.

Can I ask something first?

Yes. Contact support with any question.
