    Howdy Sean!

    It’s looking great. Definitely let us know when it’s all finished, and we’d be happy to take a look (cool idea for a site and liking the centered look with the logo/menu the size it is with the typeface selected).

    Cheers!

    Add this to your style.css

    .home .x-recent-posts img {
    height: 170px;
    }

    It would be so helpful for my OCD to see all your blog excerpt images in line 🙂

    Love the look of the site very clean

    While my website is not as fancy as some of yours, I’m pretty proud at the way it has turned out.

    I’ve used the infinity stack right out of the box

    Thanks for sharing…noticed a few formatting and styling things related to your menu (specifically the social icons) and overall content presentation but if you and your visitors are happy that is a big part of it!

    I am really very happy with the way my website has turned out to be. I have zero coding knowledge and have no design sense(probably reflects in the way my website looks)
    But, it has made my life so easy. At least I could smoothly launch my website 🙂 And the support I got from the themco team, was simply amazing.
    Here is my final website http://www.magicmushroomfactory.com

    Any suggestion/recommendation is welcome

    Thanks,
    jim.

    Howdy Jim,

    Thanks for sharing, my friend and for the generous comments! We are thrilled to know we were able to help getting your site up and running even with no prior background.

    Regarding the site, I think it actually works if you intend to keep it as a blog. So much of what makes a good blog a good blog is the content so the design should never compete but rather encourage people to get to the content. I think the masonry option and size work well for a blog. The only thing I would consider tweaking a bit would be your optin/subscribe box in the upper left corner of the sidebar. Since the site has a very clean and white background, something more strong and attention grabbing would really stand out there in addition to something more specific to your content or audience as opposed to “Subscribe to blog via email.” See if you can find something more action oriented that focuses on what they will get as a result “Never miss the next best article,” “Stay informed. Get updates via email,” or something creative based on your content.

    Hope this is of some assistance, and thank-you again for being a part of our community. Cheers!

    Has anyone ever used X to design a musician’s website?

    Looking great, Dana! As always, we’re big fans of your work and look forward to seeing more in the future…and maybe we can get Ethos in there to cover all the Stacks 🙂

    Thanks Kyle! Working on a website using the Ethos Stack as we speak. For a Photographer. 🙂

    The sites look great, Ricardo! It’s an honor to work with you all and love the style you bring do the different designs. One small point to look into, the blackincanada.com site seemed to take a while to load for me on initial load. Once it did, everything started picking up, but that initial load was longer then most. We look very forward to continuing to work with you and greatly appreciate the repeat business!


    Looking forward to seeing it, Dana 🙂 You will enter an elite club then with having designed a site for each Stack!
