    Solutions for Business - site nearing completion!!

    Posted 18 years 2 months ago
    • Hi All,

      We have been working with this site since before Christmas and it has been through a number of style changes, trying out different templates etc etc

      We think we are now happy with our overall design and feel now so any feedback from you guys would be appreciated

      the site itself is made of multiple joomla installations for each of our brands, all running the same theme with different headers and logos and started out as the fantastic mobius template which was modded to remove a lot of the extra images and colour to give a cleaner, whiter look

      anyway let me know what you think

      www.uksolutionsforbusiness.com (gives access to each of our brands)
      www.hostingforbusiness.net (one of our brands that the main site links to)

      thanks

    • Nice, looks simple and lightweight.

      A few observations:

      1. Looks like the page *needs* a logo of some sort...the header looks a bit empty without it IMO.

      2. Might be worth editing the source and re-exporting a new search & access box, your current one is still using the original texture which looks a bit out of place.

      3. The seach box does not work. This is a coding error in the Mobius template; I'm not sure if later versions of the temp fixed this or not (I don't think they do). There was a post made about this a month or so or go - I posted some code to fix it.

      4. Consider removing the access buttons - both font sizer and page width. If you go to a separate section they don't work properly, plus it's confusing if the user sets a size, then navigates to a subdomain, and the size resets each time.

      5. The page fails validation using the footer links (I'd just remove the links personally).

      Well done - looks like you've put a lot of work into it.

    • thanks for your comments Dan,

      isnt it surprising how i had never noticed the site search didnt work - suppose i have never had a need to search my own site!!

      i have removed the style switcher and search box as per your suggestion and also ammended the footer so the validator works ok

      all i need to to do now is get someone working on the logo!!

      thanks for the feedback, was very helpful

    • I like the clean white look.

      I guess you know that this URL is dead at the moment?
      hostingforbusiness.net/

      Also, the top logo "Solutions for Business" needs to stand out a little more. Perhaps what you have there is just a temporary measure.

      Even playing with the type face a little would improve the logo, e.g. changing "business" to bold. I don't think you need to have anything too fancy looking.
