Kiolezo is translated in 
Kiolezo, Drag and drop Joomla template builder.
Build the template of your website directly from Joomla! by simply drag and drop rows, columns, module positions, images and many other elements.
Kiolezo is a component made to build Joomla template by drag and drop.
It's different from other builders because this is not a page builder, instead Kiolezo is a template builder, so you can create all parts of your template just by drag and drop.
All created templates can be used directly by Kiolezo, through the template expressly created and installed together with the component, to keep the drag and drop edit feature, or can be exported in zip archive format and installed on any other Joomla! based website (minimum required version 3.6.5).

Export Joomla template when ready
Templates can be exported in two ways.
The first is layout exporting (.kiolezo files) to save an editable file, to import it on another website wich uses Kiolezo and continue to edit as you desire.
The second is template exporting (.zip files) to create a stand alone template, which can be installed on any Joomla website (minimum required version 3.6.5).

During the editing, you can use Joomla keyboard shortcuts as if you were inside an application. Save, UnDo, ReDo, Erase, Confirm, and many other commands are available through keyboard shortcuts.
- The keys combination CTRL + S allows you to save the current layout.

What is included in Kiolezo
This package contains Kiolezo main component, Kiolezo quick icons module to have some useful shortcuts in your backend, and Kiolezo blank template, to display your layouts in frontend.
Kiolezo blank template is not included in this package due a Joomla Extensions Directory restriction. Anyway that template is automatically downloaded and installed during Kiolezo installation process.
