Home Page
- I'd slow down the front page Rotator
I agree. I slowed it down to 5000 on the Autoplay Delay
- Center the images in the 3 modules (Mastermind Groups, Online Seminars, Affiliate Marketing)
Done
- Module "Get Social" I'd find some .png images that don't have a white background so it blends in better.
Great suggestion!
- I'd remove the bottom rotator, it looks as though its playing the same as the top.
I was using that as a placeholder. I'm having issues getting it to show featured articles online in K2. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work. It's been driving me nuts. I've searched this forum, the Joomla community, and the K2 forum with no luck.
- The slideshow is just in an odd place and height/width. If your going to have a slide show like that, I'd hide the module title and adjust the size to a better aspect ratio
I'd like to put a video player in there that will rotate YouTube or Vimeo files that we specify. Any thoughts?
- You have "Login" in to places, at the top right and at the bottom in the middle of everything. I'd get rid of the bottom middle one and just use the top right one.
I didn't like the blank space - perhaps not the best styling idea. I also wanted to make sure people could figure out how to login. Would it be best practice to assume that the readers/users will be knowledgeable enough to figure out how to login?
- "Who's Online" depending on the site/client your working with, these days having that shown isn't a must and its just taking up space.
Resources Page
- I'd adjust the huge empty white space on the right of all the articles so the articles would fit the width of the page.
I'm not sure how to do that. I'll have to figure that one out.
Community/Forums Page
- To be honest, the "Main Menu" options for the forums I believe hardly gets used. If you want to have that menu I'd put it above the forum
Not sure how to do that... yet.
- "User Menu" you can get rid of because its up top, then you can have the forum the entire width of the site.
Not sure how to do that... yet.
- Your missing the Main Menu for the site as a whole in this section
Not sure how to do that... yet.
Reviews
- The menu link is pointing to the home page when you just click on "Reviews"
Thanks - I need to get the reviews up and running.
Forums
You have 2 links to the forums, "Resources -> Community" and "Forum" I'd get rid the of the in Resources and rename "Forum" to "Community"
I was toying with the idea of setting up a "community", such as community builder, but I'm not sure it will be used since so many people are utilizing the capabilities of Facebook. Do you have any experience with this? I'd be curious to hear if others are having success with their sites communities.
Other than that, the colors and layout isn't that bad, I just think that front page needs some cleaning up a bit. There is a ton of information in one place, I think if you spread it out throughout the entire site that would work.
I can't thank you enough for your response Fred!
