hello, this is my first creation with CMSMadeSimple:
http://www.cervinialive.com
it's a website (sorry... only in  italian...)  about the ski-area  of Cervinia (north-west alps). It is online since
the 2003, but previusly developed in JAVA-JSP.
Main features:
- CSMSMS version  1.2 "Barbados"
- new graphic template created for the site
- modules used: News (with contents migrated from the previus DB (Postgres)), Self Registration, Frontend Users
- ad-hoc customizations made by me:
  1) possibility for frontend users to add comments to the news, without being first logged: they can insert nickname and password
      together with the comment.
  2) simple forum page with discussion tree "expanded" and possibility to insert messages with the same paradigm as
      above.

Hi twep,

some design issues:
Why are all links without any hovering behavior? Most of the links are underlined, but the links from the second and third level are not underlined (Notizie --> Archivio)
I noticed that the commento fields are on the rigth side borderless (check screenshot.png).
I think for a bether usability would it be usefull, if the logo – Cervinia Live – is linked to the start page. I know, the whole header is a background.

You missed a good oportunity to throw away the table design. Your design is perfect for tableless design. There are only advantages with tableless design.

I like the clean design, it suits to the snowy content.

greetings, neophron

thanks neophron for the good hints! I will fix some of them soon!
I know, the new "trend" is tableless design, but this graphic was created some years ago... I throw away some of the tables but didn't have time to delete all of them... maybe in the following weeks....
ciao
