CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi. Well I've been working too hard on this changeover from a tables based site to a css layout as a cmsmadesimple template. More of a favour than a job, this has really tested my abilities to replicate the clients original design (to the pixel at times) - sometimes against my better judgement.

On the plus side the client is really happy with it and is now able to have other staff members update the site (which they couldn't do before without photoshop and dreamweaver which is how it was originally set up). And we all love CMS Made simple!

Anyway - please bear with me as I sort out any bugs in the css and if you do find anything awful please either pm or post to me. I've already got some really valuable feedback which I'm feeding to the client.

Thanks Alby! I always get confused with the charsets (I really don't know why I think it's just me).
My next project is a 'proper' standards/accessible site for my work which will be www.wscf.org.au.

nice job!! i love designs that arent always boxy and look like they are conforming to the restrictions of html/css/etc.

if i had my way the designs i work with would be less boxy, but unfortunatly i'm not the designer, only the developer. i dont design the car, i build it. :-p

Nice looking site, however .... when I move the mouse over a menu button I get two js errors

menu2 not defined

and

Object expected.

But I do like the non boxy looks of the site very much.

Hello and thanks for replying with those js errors. I've been away so hopefully you are still around. Can you point me to the page that is happening on? Or is it every page? The old (original) site is still up until the clients remove the pages so I hope you are referring to that instead of the cms site. Also which menu button are you referring to?

I got those on the cms site, but checking now cannot reproduce those js errors, so consider it fixed ?
