# Universal templates
Universal templates and frameworks give a Joomla site a flexible design base that can be adapted to different projects.
All items here are templates. Master3 is a flexible Joomla 3 template built on UIkit 3, and Master3 Lite is essentially Protostar rebuilt on UIkit 3. Helix Ultimate and Gantry 5 are free template frameworks with layout tools and mega menus; Gantry 5 also ships the Hydrogen and Helium starter themes.
