I LOVE it !!!  I'm a designer so I really appreciate your layout and graphics, menu and the whole site!! 
It's easy to get around, the colours are pleasing to the eye, I bet your client is very happy.

that is a very sweet design you got there mate! Very well done. As Aussie Gecko says your client must be thrilled!

[lennon]

Cheers guys. Nice to get some compliments. It one of my best so far I think. Its definitly made the portfolio anyway.

Think the clients pretty happy but havent had any direct contact with them really. Its been via a middleman. So who knows?!

A fantastic job.

Looking at your base site I see you also use CMSMS for that too as well as most of your clients. All excellent work and a good use of of this CMS.

Regards.

I don't want to detract from the site at all, which is VERY attractive and well-designed, with excellent info, etc., but there are some problems with it.

In IE6 Windows, when selecting text size "Larger" the whole page loses its layout  and it becomes very hard to follow.

In Mozilla, 4 increases in text size produce a similar effect.

Also, the Home page, at least, doesn't validate as XHTML

Hi Andy,

10 years ago I had oysters on my plate, and 2 weeks later Hepatitis A. I noticed that you cleaned your URLs (without index.php). How did you changed it (if you are using CMSMS 0.13)? I like your website, also the combination with the flash files.

Nice site 

[lennon]

Cheers Freedieb. I'll take a look at that. I thought it was validating. As for the text size. Im not sure where to start with that...

To get the clean urls my htaccess is:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

# 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

# Rewrites urls in the form of /parent/child/
# but only rewrites if the requested URL is not a file or directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

also the config is something like this:

Code: Select all

#------------
#URL Settings
#------------

#Show mod_rewrite URLs in the menu?
$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;

#Extension to use if you're using mod_rewrite for pretty URLs.
$config['page_extension'] = '.html';

#If you don't use mod_rewrite, then would you like to use the built-in
#pretty url mechanism?  This will not work with IIS and the {metadata} tag
#should be in all of your templates before enabling.
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true;

#If you're using the internal pretty url mechanism or mod_rewrite, would you like to
#show urls in their hierarchy?  (ex. http://www.mysite.com/parent/parent/childpage)
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;

#If using none of the above options, what should we be using for the query string
#variable?  (ex. http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=somecontent)
$config['query_var'] = 'page';

Thanx for the information,
