Made a site using modx, by far the easiest cms ive used, and now use it in all the sites we design

our companies site uses various snippets and is full template tagged up so every bit of text is content managed !

the menu is automatic too using the default menu snippet with some custom css

Pretty cool website wayne !

I like the simplicity yet graphic mastery, great balance between spaces too... all in all, it fits the trend that I like so much these past two years in webdesign

Nice example of what MODx can mean as far as template control is concerned

I like your design.

The only thing is: In my opinion, the font-size is too big.

i think it depends on browsers and screen sizes, we have optimised it for all , but some older browsers and people using not so high resolutions may find the site a bit chunky, what browser are you using amayr ?

thanks for your comments davidm, it took no time atall , we designed it using css and html and then split it up into templates, chunks and variables, i will always use the modx product and continue to push its limits where possible

amayr have you seen my reply ?

also is there anyone else wanting to comment or ask questions ?

Let’s turn the question around... What screen size are you using? 1600 x whatever? The font is definitively on the big side and since you have declared your font-size in pixels IE users will have a hard time adjusting it. As it is I have to scroll down on a page with not much text. (using a 1280x1024 monitor).

And a little comment about the content... ".., we just dont have the time as we are busy making other clients happy" can’t be a good marketing ploy if you ask me. Clients (prospective or not) don’t like excuses.

Mind you I don’t even have a website for my business, too lazy. (perhaps that’s why I have time commenting on someone else’s )

Whoops ! dont think i was meant to actually publish that phrase, well spotted, im on a macbook which is at 1440 x 960, and its fine, we did test on a variety or browsers / resolutions and at the time this issue wasn’t an issue, but i can see where your coming from. I suppose in the future most people will have upgraded their systems etc and all will be resolved but for now i might go back to drawing board and scale down some fonts

amayr have you seen my reply ?

Sorry, I didn’t check back. I’m using Firefox 2.0 with 1280*768 resolution.

Very fresh-looking site (perhaps a bit too much web 2.0 for me, but that’s just a matter of personal taste). The font is rather large-ish, but I think it fits the design, it doesn’t bother me

As per comments etc

we have redesigned the site with better resolution capabilities and font sizes
