fernt Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 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.
BrianG Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 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 !!
webman Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Good design; but it doesn't appear to validate though. 1
fernt Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 Good design; but it doesn't appear to validate though. Hmph, it did when I checked yesterday. Although looking at the errors, they're pretty basic ones to tidy up - which makes it a bit worse that they're there in the first place. Cheers for the compliments gents. I'm really pleased with the whole thing.
Netman Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Nice indeed - you might want to change the favicon to your crest instead of the default joomla one sometime... 1
tech_guy Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Very nice looking website. Very clean and professional.
mullet_man Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Very nice, but I hope the lunch prices are not daily!!!!
mossj Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 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. 1
SimpleSi Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 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 regards Simon Is it gone yet? 1
alan-d Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Nice one Did you put the latest 1.5.15 patch on? 1
fernt Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 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 tags.
fernt Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 Where you have a image in a module, the background is set to white, creating a box with the blue tint. 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? Ta.
jsnetman Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Nice, but when I load the site it does a funny wobble when the scrolling picture loads and then goes into compatibility mode.
featured_spectre Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 nice website, good scheme of colour, easy on the eye, easy to use!
mossj Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 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? Ta. Sorry should of been clearer... If you look at your prospectus images they have a white background. However the box they are stored in has a blue tint towards the top. The means that you can see where the image really starts (creating a white box around your image).... It can be solved by using a .png or .gif with a transparent background set... 1
Kamran7860 Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Nice, like the website. You can use the this guide on the link below to hide the Joomla subfolder using a htaccess redirect. Its all in the link, apart from that its perfect. Joomla 1.5 in a subfolder using htaccess redirect - Hostmonster Forums. 1

Devontechie Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Site looks good I see what is meant by the slide show loading times. It can take a few seconds after the page loads before it comes up and when you are reading something on the page it can be annoying! Steve
