CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

This is my first time really using CMS made simple, I have been playing with it for about a year but never really had the time to fully look at the features in detail. So when I had the opportunity to redesign a site for this charity I though CMSMS would be great idea.

The site has been finished on my end but I am waiting for charity to give me account details of their site so I can transfer the site over to the correct address. This how ever does mean at the current time the sites content and photos are very limited and incorrect.

If anybody has any constructive criticisms or improvement ideas please let me know. (I have made this site free of charge for them and any ideas to improve will be gladly taken.

Please let me know what you think.

Very nice - clean, well laid out, easy to navigate and doesn't look like a "cookie cutter" site.

Well done!

Looks good. How did you do the captions for the photos?

I used jquery to make a slideshow. I will send you details of the code and everything you need to make the same type of thing.
Really easy once it has been set up I had the idea from one of the cmsms themes.

Looks great!

Got one question about the news pages though. Those images in the news summary fields (like big pit.jpg and 9.jpg): are they automatically resized to fit on the page or have you resized them manually?

I'm still searching for some neat automatic-thumbnail-news-image-option thingie. That's why I'm asking.

No you have to resize them sorry. I do however use a little free program to resize images in batch which does work well. Will post a link this if anyone is interested.

Irfanview has almost perfect resize/rename batch (under menu "file").

there is missing image on contact page
