Jadu Photon

Jadu Photon

The powerful website template engine

Photon is a website template engine that enables web designers and developers to create responsive websites at speed. 

The technology uses HTML5, CSS3 and Twig, which is the flexible template framework for PHP with an easy-to-learn syntax. 

It’s rocket fuel for developers!

The Photon Galaxies Designer

Leverage Jadu templates to significantly speed up implementation and reduce expense. Photon users have access to new and improved Galaxies templates. Galaxies are microsites with dedicated Content Management Systems accessible from the same Jadu Digital Platform.

Users also benefit from being able to reuse Jadu Central Content templates to create Galaxies, making designs of large-scale websites flexible and reusable! The Jadu Library is a great place for Jadu customers to share and reuse Photon templates.

Please note: We recently updated our brand design, this video uses old logos and branding but the functionality is the same!
