dangray.com.au - now available in modx

Finally got around to setting my design folio site up in modx - a builders house is never finished, eh?
Check out the site at www.dangray.com.au - and post your feedback please - the more the better.

As always, MODx = perfect. Can’t wait for revolution...

Very nice Dan, good job! Simple, elegant design. Looks good in FF3. Overall, brilliant job!

Sweet site. Well done.

Just curious, did you build a custom client section with modx or is the login page just a gateway to some other app? I have been planning to build a custom client section (nothing to fancy) with modx. I have been using a combination of projectPier and basecamp but neither is exactly what I want.

"did you build a custom client section with modx or is the login page just a gateway to some other app?"

Client login is all modx - just running a somple gallery for comps, a paypal form and links through to MailBuild for newsletters. Pretty simple, but from little things big things grow...

I like the looks of MailBuild (and their pricing). I’d like to have a client that would use it, so I could play with their SOAP API.

I fully agree.

Really clean looking, only one downpoint, your site seems heavyloading somehow?

Agreed on both fronts. I really like the site - it’s clean, crisp and down the to point. I have to agree with mDesign though - it took about 15 seconds for it to load the first time accessed the site. I’m on a corporate network so the bandwith is aplenty

Also using Opera 9.6 on Windows. Site works & functions nicely.

Moto

thanks for the tip - yeah I’m getting some very slow feeds recently - will hunt down the problem and update accordingly.

Brilliant, very nice!
Looks like MODx has everybody fired up

Looks very nice. I saw one of your previous projects in modx and I like your style.

One minor issue is that your "slideshow" doesn’t have alt attributes and is breaking validation so those who will click to check your Valid XHTML link. Even though it is stupid (the spec not the missing attribute) I’d just stick in an alt="" and it’ll be fine.
