It looks quite good, however you should optimize and reduce the size of header images which took quite long to load at my ADSL connection

I installed the Ultimate PNG-Fix from Joomlaworks and now my header-png seems to look fine. :-[

Thanks everybody for the feedback.

Greetz,
Peter.

I changed size (# bytes) )of my header-pictures. Quality is a little less, but still ok (in my opinion).

pswemmelaar.nl is a great modification of Joomlart template. 🙂
However, why do you still have “site tools” there when they are not working? 🙂

Well done I say! Love the effect of the large W in Website.. 🙂

Very nice website. I like how the large W overlays the flash header. Very nicely done.

I’m curious as to what program you use to compress your images. The takes a while to load on my connection also, and I’ve gotten close to 1MB download rates.

Personally I use XAT, found here:
http://www.xat.com/jpegopt/index.html

It’s very efficient and compresses images very well!

Also the Site Tools seems to be working just fine for me, loading what I assume are style sheets to change the colors.

Only other suggestion would be to replace the favicon.ico

You can generate a favicon in MS Paint, Photoshop, or whatever and use a free online converter to make a favicon. DynamicDrive has a nice one:
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

Great job with the site! 😎

Thanx Erik, for the compliments. :-[

Sometimes the ultimatePNG fix-mambot sometimes make the Sitetools not work, but most of the time they work. :p

Sincerely,
Peter.

Hi Jason,

Thankx for compliments. I made my jpg’s smaller as you said. Can you test it for me please, if they are loading a little faster.

Thankx,
Peter.

I’m impressed AND curious how you got your header-logo png into that position at the top in the 1st place 😉

I made the image of the JA-Xenia Without text and logo’s (for all 3 colors) and made my own logo (new image). Then I made the same code as the JA-Xenia logo for my own logo and place it right after the code for JA-Xenia logo (see sample).

[PHP]
….
<div id=”ja-header” class=”clearfix”>

<h1>
<a href=”index.php”>
<img src=”<?php echo $ja_template_path;?>/images/logo-<?php echo $ja_color; ?>.jpg” alt=”<?php echo $mosConfig_sitename?>” />
</a>
</h1>

<h1>
<a href=”index.php”>
<img src=”<?php echo $ja_template_path;?>/images/logo.png” alt=”<?php echo $mosConfig_sitename?>” />
</a
</h1>

<div id=”ja-topnavwrap” class=”clearfix”>
….
[/PHP]

Excellent ! Simple and clean solution

Thank you – I’ll give it a try over the weekend 😉

This is a classic example of HOW a forum should work … see my comments in thread:http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/great-templates-bad-support/

If there were a Wiki this should be in it.

More modifications.

I spiced up my website a little more. Now implemented Frontpage Slideshow from Joomlaworks and lightbox.

Regards,
Peter.
