The demo for SolarSentinel utilises a large stock of custom code and styling to make the most of every content item and show what SolarSentinel can do. This basically means that the HTML used in the custom modules and content have customisations which employ the characteristics of the template to make the "perfect" content.

This demo content section will take you through some of the content areas and general techniques used to further your understanding and help you realise the true potential of SolarSentinel. If you would like to quickly deploy a replica of our SolarSentinel demo for a new Joomla site, be sure to check out our RocketLauncher package.
