Be warned - it's very, very girly
« on: March 19, 2008, 10:08:21 PM »
And so it should be - it's a wedding site.

Our old template was looking a little tired so we put Colormatic to work - you can see an almost complete conversion at www.yourwedding.com.au/new (still working on links/content etc) - if you want go to www.yourwedding.com.au to see our old template.

Do the colours give you a headache? Is it clear on the front page how to get to places etc? (after working long hours on this it all gets a bit hazey...)

Comments welcome..

I didn't see much of the site because of the pink striped background. Hard to read the content with that background.

Other than the background (I agree it is too much and distracts from the main content even though the colors work with the layout)

I like what you have done with the rest of the site comparing to your old one -- big improvement, nice job.

I actually like the site and the pink background. Then it changed to blue and I couldn't get it back.

I agree; dramatically improved over the old site and a perfect template for your content. I dig it! Smiley (I would jazz up the logo, though, as "your wedding" was a bit plain, but I assumed it was a placeholder?  Wink )

Is that phpbb2 running on the site? I am in need of forums (for a J1.0.15 and a J1.5 site), but really, REALLY struggling to find a solution...bridging 1.5 seems a few months away for a stable RokBridge, Fireboard disgusts me, SMF didn't seem bridgable after J1.0.13...could go on all night with my struggles, but won't hijack your thread. Smiley

Again, I really like the background and think your target audience will really like it, too. VERY nicely done.

Thanks for the feedback - will need to look at the background color and logo.

Terp - our forum is just PhpBB2, and wrapped with no left modules turned on - so long as forum is on same server and you wrap it to fit it works just fine - albeit on a seperate database.

We originally had the fully intergrated version from Mehdi - was very elegant but as it used the Joomla rego/login we were getting hit hard with bots - since we wrapped the forum and added the anit-spam mod we haven't had one dodgey forum registration. (combined Joomla/PhpBB reg wasn't important for us)

Hope to go live with new template this week.

Cheers
John
