On top of this page, you can see live demonstration of Rich Menu. Icon Arrow Up

With this menu system you can attach icons and add descriptive text to each menu item making them much clearer and visually appealing. The best thing is you can use the default menu module built-in Joomla!, no need to install external menu modules.

Menu items with descriptive text

JSN Mico allows you to present menu items with descriptive text placed on a separated line at the bottom of main text.

Main Menu Rich Text

To setup text strings you need to go to menu item settings and add symbol combination “(=) as separator between primary and secondary text.

Main Menu Rich Text Settings

In the example above text “Home” is the primary text and “Lorem ipsum dolor sit...” is the secondary text. Separator between them is the symbol combination “(=)”. Really simple and elegant solution.


Menu items with icons

JSN Mico allows you to assign up to 20 predefined icons for items in main menu.

Main Menu Icons

To setup icons, you need to find template parameter Main Menu Icons and choose any icon you want to display from drop-down panel.

Combination of descriptive text and icons

You can use combination of descriptive text and icons to get Rich Menu in it's best presentation.

Main Menu Rich Text combined with Icons

All JoomlaShine templates are equipped with native RTL layout support. We spent huge amount of time tweaking every tiny details of the template to make it look absolutely awesome in RTL mode. Everything is horizontally-flipped including dropdown main menu and side menu.

JSN Mico has some great features to improve your website visibility to search engines and audience with disabilities. All these SEO features are not new, but they are built-in the template and you do not have to install any additional extensions.

Source ordering

Source ordering

One of the most important SEO techniques is to make sure that search engine can find your critical content before others. To make this possible in our template code structure we generate the “center” part first and only after that “left” and “right” columns.

In this way, you can be sure that search engines will see your critical content first. You can use Lynx browser both online or offline to make sure of that.


Website Title

Website Title

This feature allows you to use value defined in parameter Site Name from Joomla Global Configuration and show it in tag <title> on every pages. By default Joomla! presents Site Name only at back-end and offline page. Now, with parameter Website Title you can utilize Site Name at front-end on every page. This is great feature to improve your website SEO, since you can define a website title with some important keywords and show it on every page.


Top H1 tag

Top h1 tag

This feature allows you to wrap website slogan to <h1> tag, which is good for both SEO and accessibility. As we all know, <h1> is the most important content tag and search engine normally pays special attention to the content in that tag. Once you configured your keyword-powered website title and slogan, you can include them in the first h1 tag to increase SE ranking.

Statement from Elders:

The Bible tells us that in a multitude of counselors there is safety. (Prov. 11:4) 

The fluidity of what has been going on in relation to the Corona Virus (COVID-19) has given us several challenges to navigate.  The elders want the DBC family to know that God has blessed us with two elders (Br. Brown and Bro. Smith) who have daughters that are physicians and others in our congregation who have reached out to us with a medical perspective on this situation.  Along with other published information and a biblical perspective, we came to our decision on Thursday evening.

Based on the governor’s news conference it was decided to suspend services for temporarily and will evaluate each week as the situation provides more clarity.

In obedience to Romans 13, we submit to the governing authorities as their motive in this issue is our safety and not a prohibition on our worship.  Use the time to draw closer together as families and find other ways to make it a day to “Focus on Jesus”

Please do your best as soon as you get this information to share it with others.  The Elders will be calling you to confirm your receipt.  Below is the published statement from Governor Brian Kemp.

“Based on President Trump's emergency declaration, I will declare a public health emergency for the State of Georgia tomorrow morning. This declaration will greatly assist health and emergency management officials across Georgia by deploying all available resources for the mitigation and treatment of COVID-19."

Kemp also advised faith- based organizations and other large gathering bodies to cancel public events and services.

"Elderly citizens and those with chronic, underlying health conditions face a serious threat to their health, and we must do everything in our power to reduce risk associated with this virus," Kemp said, according to his statement. "Continue to support one another, be mindful of potential exposure, use best practices to prevent infection, and pray for your fellow Americans in the weeks ahead."

Here you can see live demonstration of Side Menu with icons and rich text.

Side Menu is very unique vertical menu with slide-out panels. This menu is extremely efficient when you have complex navigation with a lot of menu items.

To setup Side Menu you just need to configure module parameter “Menu Class Suffix” appropriately and the menu system will take care of the rest. There are very detailed instructions in template documentation.

Side Menu with Icons and Rich Text

Side Menu can present menu items with icons and descriptive text, pretty much like Main Menu.

To setup icons you need to configure menu items appropriately just like Main Menu. There are very detailed instructions in template documentation.

Side Menu with RTL Support

Side Menu works flawlessly even in RTL layout, in which sub-menu panels will slide out from right to left.
