Simple site conversion [Done]

[brenski]

Hello all,

I'm working on a site for a friend and need help getting it CMSMSified!
I will have the HTML and CSS sorted but need someone to help with getting the templates done. My friend just wants to be able to upload PDF's (to be viewed with Shadowbox - http://mjijackson.com/shadowbox/index.html) and manage client case studies.

• 6 pages total
• 3 with client case studies (same template)
• 1 page with basic contact form

That's it!

Please have a look at the attachment to get an idea of what's needed. If you'd like to help please get in touch and we can work things out.

Thanks for looking!
Brennan

Hi Simon,

If you're asking to see the finished site then I'm afraid to say it's not completed but if you're asking about the PDF display in Shadowbox then read on.

I had to abandon the Shadowboxroute because it could not handle PDF display, it handles almost anything else but what I really needed so I had to search around for an alternative. The closest I found was some variation called Bumpbox which claimed to handle PDF's but sadly didn't in Firefox.

So now I'm back to the original Lightbox but I'm using iPaper from Scribd.com which is a Flash based solution that works well.

Hope that helps a little.

Cheers,
Bren

EDIT: The non-cms site is up but I'm having a few problems with the menu (within the cms). This is due to every item requiring an individual css class for the different colours. Anyone know how to get around this without making 6 different templates? I'd love to know. cheers again!
