LT Business
Joomla template for small-business consulting firms: a quarterly plan with each job on its weeks, services with their length and fixed fees, how engagements run and a free first meeting.
The Joomla demo is coming. The preview shows the same design on its WordPress version.
The Joomla version of this design is being rebuilt on the stack below. Until it is released, the download is the current version of LT Business for Joomla.
Key features
LT Business borrows the plan an adviser pins on a back-office wall: thirteen week columns, a bar for each job and a line for this week. A sample plan leads the home page, services show their length on the same track, and pages cover the health check, cash flow and pricing, the growth plan and clients from shops to cafes.
- A 13-week plan heroA sample quarter shows each job across its weeks, marked done, in progress or planned, with the current week drawn as a line.
- Services on the week trackEvery service shows its usual length on the same thirteen weeks, with a fixed fee and a page of its own.
- Pages for each kind of clientWho we help, with pages for shops, trades and cafes, and a section on how an engagement runs from first meeting to review.
- Quickstart or template packageStart from a full copy of the demo site (the quickstart package of the Pro editions, restored with Akeeba Kickstart and Akeeba's restoration script in the browser) or add the template to a Joomla site you already run.
- Fonts that ship with itWix Madefor Text and Zilla Slab are bundled with the template, so pages make no requests to Google Fonts.
- Change it without codeColours, fonts, logo, header and footer are Helix Ultimate template options; page sections are edited in SP Page Builder Lite.
The design, section by section
Screens of the design from its WordPress version; the Joomla version is built from the same design and pages.
What you edit, and where
| What | Where | How |
|---|---|---|
| Colours, fonts, logo, header, footer, layout and module positions | Helix Ultimate 2.2.x template options | System > Site Template Styles > LT Business > Template Options |
| Page sections (home, inner pages) | SP Page Builder 6 Lite (free) | Reorder, duplicate or delete whole sections in SP Page Builder and edit the words in its text editor; the layout inside a section is fixed HTML, not drag and drop. |
| Contact form | Convert Forms Free | Fields, the email it is sent to and the thank-you message (Components > Convert Forms). |
| Slider (where the design uses one) | Smart Slider 3 Free | Slides, texts and timing in Smart Slider 3; the slider is placed on the page as a module. |
| Portfolio and photo galleries | SP Simple Portfolio and SP Easy Image Gallery (free) | Portfolio items and tags, gallery albums and their pictures (Components > SP Simple Portfolio, SP Easy Image Gallery). |

Two ways to install
- Quickstart package (Pro)A complete Joomla site with the template, the extensions and the demo pages, menus and modules, in Pro Standard and Pro Unlimited. Best for a new site: upload it to an empty folder and restore it with Akeeba Kickstart and Akeeba's restoration script in the browser, then replace the sample texts and images.
- Template package (all editions)Only the template, and the only package in Free. Install it in System > Install > Extensions on a Joomla site you already have, then build your pages; the demo layout is not imported.
What an AI assistant can do for a Joomla site
No AI writes into your Joomla site by itself. These are the honest options today; you stay in control of every change.
- AI help in ticket support Available now with Pro Open a ticket and you get an instant AI-drafted answer; a person from our team follows up. Ticket support
- Texts for your pages Works with any AI assistant Ask an assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to draft your page texts in your own words, then paste them into the SP Page Builder text editor and your Joomla articles.
- Small design changes Works with any AI assistant Describe the change and ask for CSS; paste it into Helix Ultimate's Custom Code tab and check the page before you save.
- AI kit WordPress version only The kit that lets an assistant edit pages safely (instructions, ready prompts, a checked import tool) exists for our WordPress themes only. Nothing in a Joomla site is changed by AI unless you paste it in. See the WordPress version

Questions
Is it only for small-business consultants?
It also suits bookkeepers, business coaches, accountants and local enterprise advisers who work with owner-run firms.
Do I need SP Page Builder Pro?
No. The pages use the free SP Page Builder Lite, with Convert Forms Free for the contact form; Helix Ultimate is free too.
Quickstart or template package: which one do I need?
Take the quickstart package for a new site that should look like the demo. Take the template package to restyle a Joomla site you already have; your content stays and the demo pages are not added.
Why does the preview open a WordPress site?
The Joomla demo of this design is not online yet. The Joomla version uses the same design and pages, so the preview shows what you get; the Joomla demo will replace it.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free is the template package with the footer credit. Pro adds the quickstart package (a full copy of the demo), credit removal and ticket support: Pro Standard for one website with a year of updates, Pro Unlimited for unlimited websites with lifetime updates.
What if it does not work for me?
If a Pro product has a problem we cannot fix, open a ticket within 30 days of your order and we refund it in full.
