California Fire - First site on modx

Hello,

The site I built is http://www.fireinca.com

I have used many CMSs in the past including Joomla, Drupal, Xoops and I must say, I am truly shocked. This is amazing. Templating is very easy, adding and customizing snippets on the fly, front-end editing.

Thanks!

Well done, good initiative.

Two picky technicalities:

Your spacing between menu items makes a nasty little flicker in the submenu bar when passing across the main menu.

There could be better separation of the main content items, perhaps a wider bottom margin, or different coloring of alternate items, or something.

Other than that, I agree with dev_cw. Also, my father worked for the CDF, so I know well what’s going on there.

Thanks for the comments. I think the menu issue you are referring to is in IE? Firefox works fine.

Also not sure I followed well on your second comment.

And lastly, thanks to you and dev_cw for commenting on this. I am trying to focus on content rather than the site not to mention this is the third template I decided to go with. And I am glad. Very nicely done.

Very nicely done. It looks great in EI6.

One tiny suggestion -- You still have this at the bottom of the screen:

lol..you won’t believe this but I must’ve looked at that part of the site hundred times and never realized that it needs to be changed...

thanks for bringing it to my attention and thanks for checking it in Ie6

good site, I am new to cms and webdesign, but in IE7 your site has some problem with the top bar, fine with Firefox

I noticed that some of the links the navigation were done by the (IDNUMBER).html (instead of a friendly URL), namely the links in the Victims of Fire section, as well as in various links on the page.

Was that intentional, or did you want to have FURL’s across the website?

BTW, nice job on the website. Clean, easy to browse, and very informative.
