    Well after around 3 months I’m now at the point where I’d like to share my X-theme website with this forum.

    I’m a 2D and 3D animator by trade so building this website threw me into a slightly different world of design. It was all done in the evening in between growing the business and winning clients of our own (After recently quiting a 10 year long video production job in London to pursue our own studio).

    It’s been a pleasure (most of the time) to learn my way around X-theme and get to grips with how best to put goethe the site I had in mind.

    The website is to promote, showcase and win business for our marketing animation and video production business.

    http://www.stormystudio.com

    I’m particularly proud of:
    – the ‘responsive’ animated clouds which go over the top of the embedded Vimeo video.
    – The colour theme throughout
    – Wooshii store, accessible via the footer for old game templates (that was a pleasure to integrate).
    – The services page.

    There are still a good few things I’m going to add over this year including:
    – Some images to add to the About page.
    – More portfolio
    – Case study page
    – Many more blog entries relating to the subject of marketing videos for websites.
    – Testimonials slider for the front page is nearly ready and due up next week.

    Thanks for looking… the work others have produced is astounding.

    @draper3000, wow the clouds look AMAZING!

    Where did you get those awesome flat icons from?

    Seeing some great examples here, guys! Owen – really impressive presentation and customization. Draper3000 – very creative video on the homepage with the clouds moving in the background.

    Hey guys,

    Just launched a few sites I thought I’d share. Love X and will continue to build with it. More to come.

    Thank-you for sharing the sites and for your repeat business, Yobarto…very much appreciated!

    Got some interesting designs going on – the logo on the salon is an interesting approach.

    Looking forward to seeing your future X-powered sites.

    Only a little bit of work to do and then this site is ready for launch. It’s a site for a company in chimney and roof maintenance.
    I’m curious what you think of it.

    Hi René – It’s concise and too the point which should help the conversion rate for filling out the form The text is a little hard for me to read on the current background and feels a bit text heavy for the header area, so that would be my only suggestion.


    Hi Clay – It’s coming together nicely! The green, white, and cream work well together 🙂

    Work in progress but i will share it. Site is about artist bookings and there is a lot to add still…but you’ll get the picture. I’m doing this for the first time in my life so please bear with me 🙂

    p.s. Looking for the stack for musicians or something similar 🙂 within X.

    Wow this is your first time building a site, D? You’ve done some extensive customizations that are looking good!

    One suggestion would be to have buttons below those 3 sections at the bottom so the page doesn’t just end. All in all though it’s coming together great.

    Hi all,

    Great thread and great use of X by everyone.
    Here’s my site: http://behindthelenscap.nl/

    Still have to find out some minor issues with the mobile view. The Facebook comments appear on mobile in a very narrow collumn. And I would like to see the sidebar on mobile as well.
