JA Xenia II Finally LIVE!

[instantinlaw]

Hey folks,
I have finally finished the site and have submitted it to search sites. I still need to add more product, but after 6 years of building sites I have finally gotten one live with the help of Joomla, Virtuemart, and of course, Joomlart. Thanks for the great template! I did some small ammount of customization like the roll over of the top navigation buttons and some graphics, but the template is pretty much out of the box. I also need to do some tweaking of the JA Header images, but I'm happy with it for now. Please visit my site & let me know what you think. I will be putting up a poll to see what you guys think, but you can also post your praise, flames, or critizisms here. I promise you won't hurt my feelings.

THE SITE IS LIVE SO PLEASE DON'T MAKE ANY PURCHASES (Unless you really want the item);)
I know my spelling sucks, but I checked it on my site.

Looks awesome! When my moderation status is fixed I'll add the poll for you, if you'd like.

Thanks MiCCAS,
I posted a poll on my site, but you can do it here too if you like:)

[MiCCAS]

I've added a poll for you :)

It look great but I personally do not like this image very much http://www.photonutz.com/templates/ja_xenia_ii_shopping/images/h3-bg.gif
When you have many left and right module, the image is repeated quite a lot of time.

To MiCCAS, your problem is now fixed :)

Your site looks very good. I like it very much.

Kind Regards,

Yupp! A nice one this instantinelaw.

Kind of agree with H D here but all in all very nice. Perhaps fading the camera image would help a bit. Not fade too much but more "merging" with each menu. Well, what do I know, I am no designer, I am a Joomlart-man. :-) They design, I use. ;-)

Thanks MiCCAS for the poll,
Hung Dinh, I agree about the left module image, I was going to scale it down, but I like the idea ErikThorsen suggested. So I think I will scale it down & fade it a bit.
Thanks for all the comments ErikThorsen, and Hung Dinh.
Thanks also for the kind words swemmel, and I really like the "W" over the header on http://www.pswemmelaar.nl.

You might want to check the XHTML validation it FAILS on all VM pages as usual>:( . You might want to comment out those validations buttons since VM has over 100 errors per page :(( and I doubt you can fix those because not even Virtue Mart themselves can fix them :confused: .

I sure hope they do fix those dam errors one day! I would be willing to pay for that!

Hi imaaxx,
I know about the errors, I posted the question here a while back & the site admin told me about VM. I was thinking about how I was going to get rid of them tonight & I didn't think about commenting out the lines. Thanks for the suggestion & praise.

ErikThorsen, and Hung Dinh,
I decided that all the cameras everywhere was too much, so I decided to just go with the default background image. Thanks again.

Thanks again everyone (and you know who you are) for your comments & suggestions. I have implemented most of them & I think the site is better for it. I will be implementing the rest of them as time permits:)
