Nature is a free template by Viviana Menzel (Dr. Menzel IT) for small business and personal sites. It is built on Joomla core features and styled with CSS only, with no external framework. A demo site with setup explanations is available.

- Colours for header, body, links, buttons, banner overlay and footer.
- Sizes: wrapper width, banner height, body text and H1–H3 heading sizes.
- Column count and background for the top-a, top-b, bottom-a and bottom-b positions.

Terms
Completely free. The GNU GPL v2 or later licence is stated in the PHP file headers; the manifest has no licence entry, and the LICENSE file the headers refer to is not in the repository.
Compatibility and requirements
- The README states Joomla 4, 5 and 6. The update server, however, declares only Joomla 4 and 5, so update notifications may not reach Joomla 6 sites.
- PHP 7.2.5 or newer.
- The latest release, 1.1.6, came out in May 2025. The repository name still says "j4".
