Web design company - Our new CMSMS website

[pixelvandal]

Hello,

I have been wanting to re brand and re develop our website for a while, but when it's your own company you get too picky with things.
Alinga is a Gold Coast Web design agency and we wanted to showcase who we are and the work we do in a fresh and innovative way.

Modules: other than standard

• Quotes
  Captcha
  CGFeedmaker
  FormBuilder
  SiteMapMadeSimple

Using the jQuery framework for accordions, sliders and portfolio section.
Using cufon for font replacement

Haven't got around to developing all of the pages yet, but getting close and very happy with the results and love using CMSMS.

The website:http://www.alinga.com.au

Very nice site. Easy to navigate and great marketing of your services.

What/Who are you using for your newsletter program?

How did you create your WhatWeDo rotating info boxes?

Really nice site. Hope you don't mind some questions as I am trying to wrap my head around CMS Simple modules and how they're being used.

Thanks for the kind feedback
Happy to answer your questions.

The email subscription is using our ByEmail Email Marketing platform: http://www.byemail.com.au
Very simple to integrate into any site.

What we do rotating boxes, this is just coded as a <li> list with some custom ajax loaded into the CMS as a GCB
You get a lot of flexibility with CMSMS on these type of things

Hope that information helps

Thanks for the info aj.

I have used ajax regularly on a number of other websites using different CMS programs. Reviewing your page code that's what it appeared to be. There are so many modules with this CMS and so few real examples of their use that the learning curves can get a bit frustrating. Of course, it's easy to forget how many hours were spent learning Joomla, Drupal, and other CMS programs. The ease of use for our clients is the driver for using and learning CMS Simple. It's by far the fastest to learn.

I'm a school board member and our IT department is now converting all of our Joomla websites to CMS Simple. Our teachers and parent volunteers were always intimidated by the extra whistles and bells in the admin area of Joomla.

I really like your website it has a very clean layout. Can I ask - how did you do the menu please.

I am trying to build a site for a charity based allotment site and would like to use something very similar.

Appreciate any help or advice you can give please.

very nice site!

Question, what module did you use for the portfolio section? Is it a custom build?

Wow! Fantastic design!

Very easy to navigate and very good advertisement for the company, i guess

Very cool site. Nicely done.

It's gorgeous. The contact page seems bland compared to the rest of the site, maybe it's the very light text and background ... and my tired old eyes.

But the rest of it is drop dead gorgeous!

Hi from the Philippines.

Nice implementations on the home landing page, there. Simple, subtle but most things work fine for me. Just wondering if it's possible to serve up a menu of simple but "hardcoded/templated" "skinning" choices that makes it possible for a visitor to, say, rearrange the top level navigation menu sequencing and/or color-pick a background color motif -- actually a very elementary set of choices aimed at enhancing the sense of empowering the web visitor by making him or her perceive a certain (if somewhat limited) level of customization control over the viewing experience browsing your site. And, perhaps via cookies, make this customized skin operative on the same browser on succeeding visit. The idea is somewhat akin to customizing your personal Yahoo landing page.

I'm a CMSMS newbie, quite raw, but with intentions of dipping my hands and brain in this great project for implementation.

Thanks for your time.
