CMS Made Simple Forums

http://www.lgf.org.uk/

The biggest site I've constructed using CMS Made Simple to date. Probably the biggest charity of their kind in Europe.

It contains thousands of items of content, and is nowhere near finished yet!

I've some experimentation with the news module, creating a specific template which dynamically writes jQuery Javascript, as well as html, to drive the news switcher on the homepage which can include as many or as few news items as they like simply by adding or removing news items from a special category.

The site was constructed and populated with the main bulk of the content in just 2 weeks time. This was largley made possible by just how easy to work with and customise CMS Made Simple is.

Any feedback welcome.

looks very nice !

Hi Matt,

Looks good, nice layout especially.

Couple of constructives: The font seems a bit big on the news story headlines. The emboldened font on the sub menu rolloverss makes the whole thing expand which I personally don't like. One last thing is very strange to have no footer at all, I almost feel like I'm missing something?

Like you say, not finished but really good to see so much in a short time.

I like it, good use of colour and great layout.

My only comment is with the text in the secondary menu (with the pink background). I don't think it needs to be styled bold on hover as it 'nudges' the rest of the tabs along.

Love your website

Could you explain how you can achieve the Rounded-corner-tabs that you nicely added for the Menu Parents? could you release the Menu template for that?

Would appreciate it!

Thanks!

Done with CSS... plus a bunch of other stuff for hover, but that doesn't work in IE6...
