      I'll chime in :)

      Site looks great! Suggestions: Tailor the background and make it white so that the beautiful photographs you are displaying pops out more. Right now, the background distracts away from the images at first glance. I love the template feature allowing folks to switch from default to the other views by the way...and good display of advertisements on the right-hand side. Is that purposefully designed for revenue generation? Good stuff here!

    • There is life in here! lol Thanks Santipink.

      My wife had been nagging me about the background for weeks :cheesy:

      I tried the white which just didn't work so went with a more neutral slight patterned giving a more crisp look. The advertisements are there for revenue! :oops:

      I like the template feature sometimes but prefer a more uniformed look for this site. Really appreciate that you took the time to comment and thank you

      Regards

    • Toni,

      What might help the background is if you faded teh background pattern a bit. Right now it kinda hurts my eyes. But the rest of the site looks great. Love the pics especially.

    • Never has a background given me so many headaches! :D :D :D

      I took away the line pattern and this should look easier on the eyes! :oops:

      Thanks for your feedback; appreciated as always

    • I don't like font and font color I have on some parts of my website. My "Contact us" module have to be changed and it will be today :mrgreen:
      I think that choice of font is something what is crucial for first impression of visitors. Your choice of font and font colours is excellent.

    • Thanks Dance.

      I use 'contact form plugin' from Bestwebsoft on my other sites as it looks clean, very easy to set up and quite simply works.

      The colours and font are the defaults from Rockettheme. I may get flamed for this but I can obviously see Rockettheme use their top designers for these high end templates so why would I want to change it. Sure, adjust the colours perhaps but the design has already been done. It's the content and images that make a website so I prefer to focus on that. As the saying goes, 'if it's not broken, don't try to fix it'!

      Some developers here have done some great work in changing the Rockettheme designs and a few haven't!

      I've had some great feedback on my site but I haven't touched it design wise except add my own logo and work on content!

      The only issue with Rockettheme is 6 months down the line I'll want to change it for a new release! :)
