Joomlart and the lack of quality

Hi

I have tried to choose magento themes for our customers lately. The problem is that the last 8-9 themes all got bugs, especially in different responsive views -- pad and mobile. None of these themes are good enough to use for a live store at the moment, which is a major disappointment.

Actually I’m rather surprised that the Joomlart team don’t check their own demos before publishing a new theme.

With all respect for Joomlart: This is just not good enough. I would like to know what to expect from the Joomlart team in the future regarding the quality of your magento themes.

I’ll publish some of the issues I’ve discovered for each theme:

JM sporty:

-- mobile landscape & pad portrait: the slideshow has white empty space between menu/logo bar, and the slideshow overlaps ‘latest products.
-- Some of the slideshow text overlap latest products
overall the theme with fewest bugs.

JM Crafts
-- mobile landscape:
-- user menu not visible on the right side
-- products cut on the right side on frontpage, 4 products are too much, and only one product on line 2.- mobile landscape
-- newsletter and right footer modules are cut
-- social icons and payment icons cut on the right side

JM monsier
mobile landscape:
-- user menu not visible on the right side
-- newsletter and right footer modules are cut
-- attribute dropdown (size) is wider than screen
-- category view -- third product are cut

JM bookshop
mobile landscape:
-- user menu and language icons not visible
-- newsletter and footer modules cut, and 4(!) columns in footer
-- payment icons cut on the right side
-- search cut on right side

JM megamall
The theme with fewest bugs.
In mobile view there’s lot of white space below footer on cms and contact pages

JM Gamestore:
Mobile landscape:

shopping cart icon cut on the right side
search icon not visible
best seller -- content cut on the right side
get connected -- instagram icon not visible on right side
Product page -- beyond crapness. price, image ++ not visible, and description cut on right side
similar products on product page -- images overlapping
submit butoon contact form not visible
page are scrolling when scrolling menu
probably more….

mobile portrait:

Logo not visible, top/user menu are on top
category view -- cant see products or product images, they are far to the left
images related products are overlapping
related product images are out of proportion -- widht & height
product tags tab not visible
related products comes before description

jm itech
Works ok. The cart icon and newsletter form are cut some pixels to the right.

jm classy
seems to work OK, but not very mobile friendly frontpage

jm lingerie
mobile landscape -- a lot of white space under products on front page

JM Siotis released in May is the last Joomlart magento theme without bugs/flaws as I can see.

So Joomlart, Wazzup?

@ Abraide,

Great thanks to hear of your feedbacks.

Our apology for the updating of our iFrame which led to the errors in our demo. When you view our demo at http://www.joomlart.com/demo/#jm_themename, most of the issues are actually not the theme issues itself.

Please try to access our demo via this link http://magento-themes.joomlart.com/jm_themename, I believe some issues you mentioned will not happen.

Regarding the 2 serious issues about slideshow and similar products you detected:
-- Gamestore: "images related products are overlapping"
-- Sporty: "the slideshow overlaps ‘latest products’."
These reports are invaluable to us, we are now working to fix the issues as soon as possible.

You definitely helps us a lot to improve our themes. Hope to have your support and contribution in the coming time.

Hi and thanks for your answer.

I have checked the themes with my galaxy tab, and my galaxy s4 phone, and many of the issues above is still present. The Joomlart demo iframe is not responsible for all the mentions in first post., the themes are still full of css bugs.

For example the most obvious -- The Gamestore theme:
mobile portrait view -- Logo is not visible because of the gigantic user menu on top.

You have a lot of work to do on these themes. Let me know when you have fixed these issues
