Hi All,
Just finished my 2nd ever "paid job" with joomla.
www.micra.ie
I'm a newbie, this site is now finished for client, but I'd love some feedback so I can improve my skills for next job.
I will definitely be using RT templates again, as they are so feature packed and have such a helpful community (and staff of course). Panacea is brilliant, so flexible that I feel it could be implimented in just about any type of site and made to look quite original with limited CSS editing.
Using:
Joomla - 1.5.20
Panacea - 1.5.3
KC Cufon
RokGzipper
Phoca Maps
JCE Media/box and editor
Mod Plugin Module
Thanks in advance...
Col

hey Colin,
i like the website, clean one, and the borders of articles and images makes it nicer..
two things I wanna mention. I think the green image., rotator looks not that good. it seems like that the image resolution is low or something, and it draws attention.. may be some different image that will disappear as it goes down gradiently.
For right menu arrows, something like http://www.life4seekers.co.uk/images/im-lv-intro-arrow.gif might give better look.
thats what i think, overall website looks clean, i will add more if anything comes to my mind.
Good Luck,

Thanks for taking the time Gurb.
I'll take that onboard for the next time (unfortunately site has been handed over now).
I had tried to fix the rotator background the best way I could, the client insisted on me using a scanned image of his brochure (no access to the original artwork), so it made it a bit difficult.
Thanks again for looking.

For future reference, be careful when pasting copy.
If the copy is in MS Word, turn on the hidden character feature and look for any unnecessary spaces, etc, and delete them.
In this Article, there are two spaces between 'both & of ' in the first paragraph, and 'nanocomposite & synthesis in the bullet list.
www.micra.ie/technology/research
The first is no so noticeable because of the line break, the second can clearly be seen.
Anyway, after you proof in MS word, copy and paste the code from Word to NotePad one time to strip the MS Word formatting (which it seems you have done), then paste it into your WYSIWYG editor and format from there. - Thanks,
jim

Thanks JEM, never noticed those extra spaces, I had been stripping the Word fromatting but never occured to me to check for extra space characters etc first.
Thanks a million for the tip, being a newbie, it's all these sort of details I need to learn!

Hey Steve,
I just threw in a CSS border, something like "#rt-mainbody {border: 1px solid #CCCCCC}"
at the end of the template.css file..think I probably had to add a padding value too, but that was it.

Thanks. I'll see if I can get it to work on my site... great idea!
Cheers,
