My web design site with sliding panels

Post by ukmgranger »

Hi all,

Check out my site here:http://www.your-web-designer.co.uk

specs:
CMS Made Simple 1.5.3 "Arecibo"
formbuilder

jquery.js for sliding panels

fancyzoom for image zoom on homepage and contact page.

I'm not sure why but the xhtml doesn't seem to validate.  It seems to find errors where there are none.  Take a look at that here:

Hope you like - let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

I like your site it has a nice clean look and it is not intrusive. I also like how you state the important stuff in headlines on your home page and then allow them to click on Read More which expands the div. Very nice effect.

Try using onload instead of onLoad in the body tag. It also looks like you are missing a closing somewhere in your template and that is why it is not validating. Modern browsers are smart and try to figure out closing tags. If you fix those two problems it will likely solve the other 3 problems.
If all else fails, use a bigger hammer.

Cheeky swine  ;)

I found the missing in a box under my desk!  After I coaxed it into the code, things seemed to be a-okay.

also @tyman00 - thanks for pointing out the 'onload' / 'onLoad' issue.  That is also now solved and everything validates.

Now all I have to do is come up with a nice way of displaying my portfolio on the (surprisingly named) portfolio page.

Any ideas?  the best idea (that I  can actually achieve) wins a pat on the back (from yourself) ;D

Cheers people

It depends how many "Portfolio Items" you plan to have. It could be as simple as creating a single page with images and a description and using lightbox for the images. Or you could use a slideshow. If you have quite a few projects to show you might want something to manage it better. In which case I would recommend the Cataloger or Products modules. I don't have experience with Cataloger but have seen it done for a portfolio (quite nicely actually) and I know it would be super easy with Products since it has user customizable fields for the individual products, hierarchy capabilities (could setup hierarchy items for print, logo, websites, etc) and categories (ex. you could use categories for the industry, color schemes, etc). Plus with some of the work that the authors of the JQueryTools module are making you can have all sorts of Jquery effects in your summary and detail templates.
