Happy 10th Birthday, Zap Calendar!  Development of Zap Calendar began 10 years ago in 2006 for use as a calendar for a private school web site running Joomla. In those 10 years, Zap Calendar has been continuously improved upon by the original developer, adding new features and add-ons to make Zap Calendar the best Joomla calendar available (BTW, Zap Calendar still is a great calendar for a school web site with support for both calendar year and school year display). Today there are over 30 Zap Calendar add-ons available.

To help celebrate, all Zap Calendar subscriptions and renewals (basic, standard and pro) are 30% off the regular price for a very limited time. We do not have a sale very often, and this is the biggest discount we have ever offered. This discount also applies to our basic subscription, so a new Zap Calendar subscription can be purchased starting at under $21 USA.  If you are using Zap Calendar Lite, now is a great time to upgrade to a paid subscription to receive additional add-ons at the biggest discount we have ever offered. Your subscription entitles you access to the latest version of Zap Calendar and add-ons as well as the use of our online forum.  And unlike many other Joomla extensions, Zap Calendar's subscription is for 12 months, giving you a full year of updates and support.

So if you are interested in purchasing or renewing your subscription to Zap Calendar, now is the best time to get it.  But hurry, this offer is very limited.  Use the coupon code "HAPPYTENTH" when ordering to receive your discount.
