@ Liz – You’re welcome!
@ Lourdes – Thanks for the clarification. I see that now (not used to seeing the home link on that side of the navigation). Great job with the other site as well! The unique background creatives on each page with transparent content area really give it a nice look, especially for a fantasy author.
@ Wayne – Howdy! Great to have you on board.
@ Jess – Feel free to contact us, and we can share some info related to this.
I am looking for someone to help me build a long form sales page using X. If you are interested, please email me at steve@bodysolutionsinc.com
It’s for a mind body health retreat I am having in Hawaii in November. I need it done ASAP and would appreciate any help!
This may be a little too early for me to ask opinions (the site is quite rough around the edges). But I would love to hear your constructive criticisms about my site: http://www.andre-costa.com/private
Thank you.
Website almost done, just need some final touches.
@Andre, your site looks great! You really don’t need to change anything, but one thing that stuck out to me from a design perspective is the padding under the sections under “Who are you..” It feels a bit squashed. Maybe adding a little extra padding would help, or possibly decreasing the heading font size so each one only takes up two rows.
@Jesper, great job! That text cloud under “Services” is a nice touch.
@Support, thank you for the comments, which I completely agree with. I will work on that.
@Andre, great site! My one suggestion would be to consider using a different typeface for the copy on the video slider. The serif font makes it look a bit dated and takes away from the striking imagery. I would suggest a larger point size, maybe some animations (entirely up to you), right aligned text utilizing the negative space so that it compliments the visual weight of your character. Otherwise, awesome work!
@Andre, great looking site so far!
2 quick things I noticed …
1) I would go with a sans-serif font on the homepage rev slider … I think the font now looks a little dated and it doesn’t fit as well with the rest of the sites typography.
2) I’d consider swapping the slider on the faq page with a static image for page load speed considerations (although it is a really nice slider).
Thank you, Isaac. I need to learn how to add different fonts to Rev Slider…I am using the ones that came with it.
Thank you for the tip about the FAQ page slider…does it feel really that heavy?
Andre,
Looking good. I agree with the feedback given…definitely think a large font size would help with proper margin around the elements (and other little formatting things here or there).
Great to see the Themeco community so eager to help and provide helpful feedback. We are looking into ways to expand the social nature of the member area to provide even greater options in that regard.
After having my company’s previous site hacked, I took the opportunity to give X a go and I am absolutely delighted with the outcome.
I’m pretty much a web novice, but I was able to create the new site in a couple of days (much of which was spent writing copy). We’ve gone for a much more slimmed-down version of our site which I think plays to X’s strengths.
Anyway, the site is http://www.tylerbale.co.uk
Really enjoying looking over everyone’s designs – there are some very talented people out there!
@Andre … it doesn’t feel heavy to me, but I network speeds well above the average household / corporate environment. Using Google Analytics, we learned the hard way that many users experience mediocre network speeds on a consistent basis, and things like rev slider are inherently heavy when the network isn’t responding fluidly. You have to view it as tradeoff … the homepage effect is crucial, so the slider there could well be worth a slight speed compromise … on the FAQ page, I didn’t feel that was the case.
It’s really hard to kill a slider, because a huge amount of work and tweaking goes into each one … trust me, I know. But sometimes, as Stephen King always says – you need to kill your darlings.
Great sites there guys!
@ Isaac is right, there many factors contributing to speed like slider. It could be slower due to its feature and how much you intend to show. Though you could still optimize it by hosting images and scripts from faster CDN, and using cache plugins.
Great one @ Luke, though first headline should be okay with different color along with the logo 🙂
Thanks guys!
