akri.co.uk - My first Modx Site : AKRI Ltd

Just putting the finishing touches on my first MODX site (contact form needs adding) for Applied Knowledge Research and Innovation. Thought I’d put it up for scrutiny... you can see it at http://www.akri.co.uk

Very nice. I like the clean look.

I’ve been exclusively using the eForm snippet (the updated version of the snippet, with the eFormParse class files) for all of my interactive forms. It makes a very nice contact form.

Very nice site!

I like the homepage, though image is a bit larger, but overall its good.

Thanks for sharing.

regards,

Looks nice and clean.. Altough when I was surfing around the site, I noticed that some links are not seen as "activated" in the menu when you visit certain pages, for example "Knowledge Structure Mapping" and "Case Study" etc.. Why is that? Are they weblinks perhaps?

Many thanks for viewing my first MODx site and also for your comments;they are appreciated.

Firstly, the main image - yes, I’m not 100% sure about the size of it myself, I’ve tried bringing the dimensions down it and floating it right but somehow it doesn’t have the same impact. I’ll leave it for the moment and see if I get any more feedback. I’m also going to sort the contact form out hopefully this weekend - I tried the basic contact form snippet but couldn’t get it working correctly so I’ll try the eform next (thanks Sottwell!).

Secondly, the "in-active" menu links. These occur when you are on the page they refer to - they utilise the "hereclass" class provided by the DropMenu snippet and are intentionally inactive,red and outdented slightly in an attempt to signify the users current position within the site architecture. I may put an arrow graphic pointing into the main text to the right of the menu text to make this more obvious (I’m open to other suggestions also).

Now I’m over the inital steep learning curve with MODx I’m planning to develop most of my future sites with it and also redevelop a couple of the other sites that I still maintain. It’s a cracking (Lancashire expression) system and I’ve been recommending it to people as a viable alternative to some of over-hyped and over-priced commercial CMS’s I’ve had the misfortune to have to work with. Keep up the good work people!

Many thanks again,

Lee

What I mean is that on those links what I posted above (and some others too) the link doesn’t change to "red and outdented" even if I click to those pages.

Ah, I see what you mean now...curiouser and curiouser... 4 pages don’t seem to trigger the rule - can’t see anything obvious. I’ll have to have a proper look later. Thanks for pointing it out.
