Title: New store (brochure site)
Post by: DGEC on February 10, 2006, 02:28:01 AM
Finally!

Released a site for my local pharmacy.  Had trouble getting the colours etc working right with the horizontal template.  Had to create separate CSS classes for the menu and text hyper links - thanks for the help guys. 

To get the "box" around the menu without creating a fixed-size image, I changed the table cell to give some padding and let the background show through. Works fine, but really like to redo that template with the better menu CSS code one of these days instead of that inflexible and awkward table design. 

Oh, you want the urL?  8-)

Nice and clean (like it should be for a pharmacy).

Nice job!

Yups, good looking site

One thing I would change is the start page, it is lengthy.
I would make it shorter and put the extra info at another place.

Thanks guys.

A lot of the pages are fairly long, but the pharmacy had it written already and actually knew what they wanted - which was better than most of course!  I may suggest that they break it up more though. Thanks for the suggestion!

I made a few improvements in terms of search engine but basically left the design intact. They wanted to be able to update it themselves and as I had just run across WB, I thought it would be perfect for them.
I tried to make a template with a single column and side menu (to avoid the Horizontal template), but they had so much stuff they wanted right there, I had to switch back to their original 2 column design.  Would have been even longer otherwise.

I was thinking about making it a more compact design, but being a pharmacy, you'll get older people and you don't want the fonts too small! :-)

Oh well.
