Hybrid Performing Arts Site

    • Hi all,

      I needed the inspiration to move from the HiveMind template which had done a fine job for the last three years. Hybrid fitted the description perfectly. Normally when I see a new template each month I faf around with it for a week or so but nothing ever comes to production.

      This one was the first one for a while that made me jump and within a couple of days the site was revamped.

      Let me know what you think: http://www.performingartsnews.com

      I also feel the potential with this template is quite flexible and will allow much more scope for development as time goes on. Plus I have a lot to get my head around with the potential of the built-in Gantry functions and gradually introduce more of the bundled modules and plugins.

    • I'm looking forward to playing around with that template, too. I

      I love the bokeh background for your site.

      The only thing is, I am not sure if some items in the showcase area are displaying properly. I'm attaching an image to show you how it looks for me in Firefox on a Windows machine.

    • Hi Kathy, I appreciate that you took the time to drop by :) Thanks for letting me know about the layout issue. I haven't been able to replicate it, however, I have set the module to a fixed height and added some more text to the titles. It is great to get a different set of eyes (or should that be browser :) ) provide feedback. Can you let me know if that has fixed it for you.

    • Hello,
      I like your website. I am getting some feedback on my sites which run the "Rok Stories" or Rok Tabs module too fast. I think the same applies to your site.

      I tell people they can hover and it will stop, but you cannot tell everyone. Maybe 10 second intervals give new visitors a better chance of reading the text with the Rok stories article in Showcase position.
      Paul
