The „Arabica“ Theme for Contao

Arabica is a full responsive and dynamic scaling one-pager theme, developed by SYNTAXYS, Achim Lammerts, for the Contao content management system.

This elegant theme is mainly designed for small websites with less content, i. e. to present weekly offers of a coffee shop or a bakery. Just fill in your own content and present your business with a new Look & Feel.

„mobile first“

This layout is made simple as possible to fit perfectly in every screen. Based on the paradigma „mobile first“ it is optimized for small devices as well as for large and high resolution monitors.

Keep in mind:
Less is more respective to the bandwith. If you only use the needed parts, your website will be very fast. The CSS part is produced with the Sass engine which comes with Contao by default.

Compatibility

Browser: FF, Chrome, IE9+, Opera, Safari

Contao: up from 4.9 LTS
It doesn't make sense to support older versions.

Elements

The essential basic elements like accordion, teaser elements and slider are already pre-designed. Further components can be easily setup if needed.

As a one-pager, this theme doesn't need a navigation. For legal content you might use the accordion.

We are open!

Monday – Friday from 6.00 am to 6.00 pm
Saturday from 7.00 am to 5.00 pm
Sunday & holidays closed

Elements

The main focus during the development of this theme was performance and compatibility with as many devices as possible, including older ones. This site works also great with an iPhone 4.
Therefore the code was kept as small as possible and only the necessary elements were used and designed with CSS.

Easy grid system

For the column layout of this sample website, I use only some classes to define the respective widths of the blocks. Just use the CSS classes for adjusting the column width respective to the parent elements width:

  • for a quarter: col25
  • for a third: col33
  • for a half: col50
  • for two thirds: col66
  • for three quarters: col75

For smaller devices the columns are stacked automatically. The gap between two columns is set to 2% respective to the parent element.

Wrap multiple content elements into div and clear the floats with the clearFloat class. Normally Contao appends itself the classes first and last but not to the HTML content element. In this case use it manually together with your column classes.

This example website will show you the possibilities.

Color presets

There are different color schemes for content areas pre-defined, just use the respective selectors:

bright -  example 

medium -  example 

dark -  example 

For defining your own CSS selectors, just use the Sass variables:

$color-primary-0 

$color-primary-1 

$color-primary-2 

$color-primary-3 

$color-primary-4 

$color-primary-5 

$color-primary-6
