Lawn Care Advice - Hybrid
Here it is: lawncareadvice.com.au
As always - nothing tested in Windows - please inform if anything appears broken!
(love my mac and my ubuntu - still don't like that other system)
I have to say that Hybrid really didn't do anything for me when it was released. But as is always the case, the more you tweak a site with different templates, and the more it comes together with new design parameters, sometimes a previously dismissed template just falls into place - and that's what happened here.
I've had some feedback about the yellow parrot already… let me know your thoughts
I like it :cheesy:
As always, please be gentle, I have no training in website design.
But please feel free to share any comments and opinions.
Thanks.

If you adjsut the padding on the menu, you can get all items to fit w/o wrapping.
menutop li.root { (fusionmenu.css)
float: left;
height: 41px;
margin: 0;
padding: 8px 5px 8px 6px; <<< Change '6' to '4'. - Thanks,
jim

I like it. Its a pretty conservative design but I like it.
Nicely organized content.
I'm not the biggest friend of a "header with a big pic in a box at the top of the site" designs.
I would do it like the the image I attached (just rough). But a really good job here!

Thanks guys.
I've adjusted the menu padding by 1px. hope it works in MS now?
I've gotten into the habit of the big box headers, not sure how to break out of it ???
Henning... how did you do that with the header?
Looks good! - Lawn Mowing Perth | Lawn Care Tips

D'oh!
I was hoping for one of those famous Henning template wrap and unwrap codes
Thanks again, hope it works in Windoze now :cheesy:
I like the Toyota / Bland design, seems to be the formula for least resistance and most acceptance for the populace, and that's what earns the lower bounce rates and higher SERPS... despite my own preference for a more unique layout. - Lawn Mowing Perth | Lawn Care Tips

As I said I like the site as it is.
that full width header would need some extra coding in the index.php and some work on background image. Perhaps you want to look into the infuse backgrounds like this:
demo.rockettheme.com/oct09/templates/rt_...kgrounds/full/bg.jpg
demo.rockettheme.com/oct09/features/styl...=style6&bgstyle=full
for inspiration
