LT Seafood
Joomla template for fishmongers and seafood shops: today's catch drawn to scale on a measuring board, a catalogue with an order form, preparation and platters.
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 Seafood for Joomla.
Key features
LT Seafood lays every fish against the nose stop of a yellow measuring board, the way a fishmonger sizes a whole fish. The home page shows the day's catch to scale, then leads to the counter, pages for each kind of fish, shellfish, smoked and cured fish, platters, filleting and the boats behind the catch.
- The measuring boardWhole fish drawn to scale against a nose stop, each with its length, weight and how many people it serves.
- A catalogue with an order formCollections and featured items each carry an 'Ask about this' link to the fish order form.
- Preparation and plattersKnife work explained in three steps, a preparation list, seafood platters to order and a page on the boats and landings.
- 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.
- One-page mode (Pro)The Pro quickstart includes a one-page version of the home page: its menu scrolls to the home page sections, with smooth scrolling and the current section highlighted.
- Change it without codeColours, fonts, logo, header and footer are Helix Ultimate template options; page sections are edited in SP Page Builder Lite.

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 fishmongers?
No. Fish counters in farm shops, smokehouses and harbour shops selling seafood can adapt the board and catalogue pages.
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.
Can customers pay online?
Not in this version. The shop pages are a product catalogue with example prices; each product links to the contact form (“Ask about this”).
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.
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, with the one-page version of the home page), 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.
