    Hi Andrew,
    your site is very nice and has a clean and smart design.
    But nevertheless some advices for you:
    In the first contentband I would use a top-margin of 20px to get some space between your slider and your headline “Welcome…”
    And then I would suggest to set a container for content-band-4 (with the parallax background image) to avoid sticking the posts left and right on edge of the browser window.

    Hi guys, my site isn’t quite done yet, they never are!

    But, I’m happy enough with it to put up here: http://generalrepair.co

    Let me know what you think and be sure to post any spelling mistakes or funny grammar. Ignore broken link, they’re broken, more content to come.

    Nice site Barrett, are you using a mega menu plugin or the standard nav that comes with X?

    Looking good, guys!

    Jamie, it looks like they are using the standard navigation with icons, styled dropdowns, and some transparency. Has a great look and feel to it and the colors work really well together. Nice job, Barrett!

    Wow Matthew that website looks great! How were you able to get that video cover the whole screen and remove the scroll bar?

    Hi Alfonso,

    This can be done using Revolution Slider.

    1. Create a slider, and add your content as transparent slides.
    2. Edit the Slider settings, and make sure it’s set to “Full Screen”
    3. Edit your home page, and assign your slider to that page from “Slider Settings – Below Masthead”
    4. Some new options will become available. Here you can add a link to a background video. This should be a self hosted MP4 file. Vimeo plus is a great solution for this.

    That should do it! If you need any further assistance, feel free to open a support thread and we can help you look into it. (This way we can keep this thread on topic)

    Take care!

    Hey Robert J, Love the site. http://shop.painthog.com. Actually, I love all of your sites. But just wanted to comment that I’m jealous about your great use of colour. I tried using more colour on my site and got some negative feedback from my customers. They much preferred the serious single colour site I have now. /sigh

    The trouble with a great theme like X is that with so many options, it is hard to settle on a specific look.
    This is the look I am going to stick with … at least for the next few weeks… šŸ™‚

    This is me: http://persephonemagazine.com. We’re pretty active, so I played it fast and loose by giving us a total makeover last night, but I really love it. There are still some minor tweaks I’m making, but overall, I’m very pleased with how everything works/looks, and how easy it’s been to make the changes I want to the child theme.

    Yay for X! I can’t wait to redo the Media Kit and our About pages with new templates.
