    Default New website

    Just pressed the big red button to make this go live:

    Stockport Grammar School, Cheshire, independent school near Manchester

    If you don't see a website with a nice big slideshow at the top and a story about Sixth Formers attending a medicine taster day underneath it, then you're looking at the old website. Try again tomorrow, maybe.

    I've noticed a couple of issues since it went live literally half an hour ago (like the 'error on page' in IE, although I know what's causing that and will fix it tomorrow), but do your worst - I'm open to constructive criticism.

    A big thanks to all involved in creating the EduGeek Package, and to anybody who's offered support on here since I started it back in January.

    Not had chance to look through all the pages but it's good. I like the design, I'm using IE 8 and it's worked absolutely fine.. good job !!

    Good design; but it doesn't appear to validate though.

    Cheers for the compliments gents. I'm really pleased with the whole thing.

    Nice indeed - you might want to change the favicon to your crest instead of the default joomla one sometime...

    I like it! Looks good and smooth. As said Favicon needs changing.

    My only personal gripes are
    - Where you have a image in a module, the background is set to white, creating a box with the blue tint.

    - I don't like how the slideshow takes a while to load, meaning I could start to read the content only to have the slideshow move what I was reading down once it's finished loading.


    p.s I'm jelous of that climbing wall!!! been a while since i've been a while since I've had a chance to climb.

    You do know that having horizontal scrolling text is the website equivalent of wearing shell-suits and won't appeal to your target audience

    And if you think it looks OK- your wrong - ditch it now

    Is it gone yet?

    Thanks all. I'm slowly moving through the fixes you've suggested, although the news ticker is staying*.

    *For now, at least. At least I've not used <marquee></marquee> tags.

    I can't see this at my end, or any other monitors I've tested it on. Which bit exactly has got a blue tint?

    Nice, but when I load the site it does a funny wobble when the scrolling picture loads and then goes into compatibility mode.
