First WebsiteBaker

[hrioo]

This is my first WB website with WB 2.6.7 RC2. I still have to add a few pages to it and may modify the front page a little but the base is there. I've used a different event calendar and database listing scripts which run in an iframe.

Unfortunately the massmail module doesn't work properly in RC2 but at least it lets signups in frontend. Haven't tried RC3 yet.

Hello,

the massmail module should work with WB 2.7 RC3, just give it a try.

Thank you Christian. I upgraded to 2.7RC3 on my local server and the massmail module works as expected now. Thanks again for your attention.

This is a really nice easy on the eyes design. Perfect choice of colors. What are you using to rotate the photos, and for your photo gallery are you using the Lighbox Module posted in the addons?.

Real nice job.

Thank you Brent.

I'm using a Lightbox photo gallery from haxxxor.de, it's a lot easier than any other modue I tried. The rotating photo script is called Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow.

Appreciate your encouraging words.

Looking good! Well done. A few small remarks: the list on the top right looks a lot like a menu, which is is not. A bit confusing, and you may want to turn it into a real menu and create a few extra pages. Another thing: the link in that same box "Visit our showroom" is not styled.

I like the colours!  The red-brown is very gentle for my eyes and it makes the overview
easy!
I also like the positioning of side-menu, main content and another block or menu on the right.

Would be nice for a template as well

best regards babouk

Hoi,

Nice site! But a question: what is your meaning about the "Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow" like you used or an animated Gif file?

And witch module did you use for subscribe/unsubscribe?

Grtz,
Luc

Argos, I will probably be adding more pages if they give me some literature otherwise will change the right side styling a bit so it doesn't look like clickable links. Your remarks are all good pointers.

Luckyluke, "Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow" is the name of the script for the slideshow,  just google it or go directly to dynamicdrive.com to download it.

The subscribe/unsubscribe module is the "Newsletter" module, i've just changed the module's language file a bit.

My explanation was wrong. What I ment was: Why did you use Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow instead of Animated Gif?

Because I'd like to keep photos in jpg format. Photo can be added/deleted with ease whereas for animated gif you have to create a new one on every change, it is way more configurable and the photo transition effects are a lot smoother.

Luc, a GIF image has maximum of 256 colors, while JPG supports millions... So GIF is never a good option for normal photographs on websites.

[Luckyluke]

Allright, I understand. And I think that this "fade-in slideshow" is even a better option than using flash.
I will give it a try for my next project.

Thxalot!
