Note, this Modx template comes with a blog feature, due to many annoying spam, I had to disable it

- 3 columns elastic layout with a bottom section in footer
- Min-width/max-width support
- Source order for SEO-centric
- WCAG A and Section 508 compliant

Snippets & plugins used for this template
- Ajaxsearch
- eForm
- getChunks
- Ditto
- Jot
A note on eForm and Jot templates: If you want to use eForm and Jot templates for contact page and blog's comment. Please be aware that these two templates do not offered XHTML Strict validation, however they are easy to fix.
Another thing, I notice Jot and eForm use accesskeys and tabindex in the templates. These two attributes actually are not useful but creating obstacle for tabbing feature in browsers and screen reader, therefor I recommend you remove them as this template have logical tab navigation implemented.
Known issue: Opera is buggy with Opacity. The 3 columns at the bottom section used opacity and Opera doesn't render it correctly.
What does the template NOT offered?
I am still a newbie with Modx CMS, and only understand the very surface of its power, therefor I am unable to provide any help with the snippets and plugins I used for Golden Lotus template; I am also not able to help you with any other snippets/plugins you wish to use for this template.

The standard Lorem Ipsum passage, used since the 1500s
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam
1914 translation by H. Rackham
"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"
