Rock of Joy Trust Website Launch!

Post by DesignStandard »

This is my first site:

http://www.rockofjoy.co.uk

I am just getting to grips with CMS made simple so any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I have used the 'News' and 'Blogs made simple' modules as well as the form builder that comes with core download.

Thanks,

Matt

Yep, I got the certificate error as well. 

First, a lovely site. I really like the primary colors that you've used, bright and fresh.  The tabs look nice at the top and the photos add visual interest. 

A couple of nits.  On your Blogs page, even tho you have put a bottom border to separate each blog, might want to put some more air between them to separate them a bit more for ease of scanning.

Second, in IE7 (Windows), the newsletter signup form isn't behaving as it should (as it does in FF2 and Opera 9.6).  The input boxes are popping out of the right margin and the submit button drops below the blue box. (It's always something with IE, isn't it?)  (If you want to PM me, I can send you a screen dump off forum.)

Otherwise, very nicely done!

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'll have a go at fixing the SSL error.

I agree that the blogs needs a bit of further styling. Just realised there is a nice gray border at the bottom of the page and the black border between postsdoesn't match. Will add some more space too.

And yes, I somehow think there will always be some problem with IE!

Thanks again guys,

Matt

Hi,

nice site. I noticed, that on the »about« page, you are using two different yellows.
The menu-yellow is #FFDB4D, the other yellows are #FFC10E

And add this:
#nav a:focus {
outline: 0;
}

It should remove the outlines when clicking the menu-tabs.

Cheers neophron,

The colours should match now. Thanks for the tip on removing the outlines. That looks so much better.
