Vossenveld website

[Bramus]

For a campsite i made a new website. The design has a lot of rounded corners and the menu was pretty hard. Thanks to Argos we fixed the menu as made in the design.

I would like to hear some comments. The site has some functionality, newsletter module, shadowbox image gallery's (2 times), visitors can upload their own images and after a Go they are put online by the campsite owners, guestbook with activation of messages and a contact page.

Also the "Gezocht" field is done by the  backend, with a mysql query the data is picked up and retrieved into this div. If some one wants the code to put in the template feel free to contact me, it is just a MySQL query build up.

You can check out the site here:

It could be possible you will see some old site, then the DNS isnt updated yet, check back a later time, domain just got moved to a new registrar (myself)

Yo!

Well baked! The combination of the template and services matches perfectly. A joy to watch and read as a visitor.

Small minor.....VERY minor things:

Contact form:
- change the font in the textarea field (is mostly overlooked)
- I would prefer to place the * (asterix) before the word. Then the words are vertically more lined up.

Menu:
Simply outstanding!

Guestbook:
- change the font in the textarea field (is mostly overlooked)
- I would prefer to place the * (asterix) before the word. Then the words are vertically more lined up.
- Vertical line-up is aligned to the left; the contactform is aligned to the right

What I miss:
- sitemap (in the footer e.g.)

Overall this is very well done. Great project.

Thanks for the comments Boudi, havent thought about the line up in the guestbook and contact form, will change this so it looks a bit more professional.

A sitemap is indeed missing, but i dont know what the customer thinks about this. In the design we made a link for it in the bottom yellow block,  but didnt do this in the site. Maybe i will discuss this with the customer and still make it.

Changed some of the points Thanks!

[Boudi]

Yup, the input field of the text area. This is standard missing in the css style of the mod. That's why it's mostly overlooked

A reason for a sitemap is for better SEO results. May be a good point towards the customer?

The site is very nice, I also like the menu 

What jumped into my eyes in first look is the logo at the very top of the page, the green border around orange one is not sharped.. it looks to me like it was resized a bit from original..

Also, are the images resized, as it looks to me that they are not sharp.. also it seems that as they are not sharped (to me), is that they look like thumbs, and that you can click on them to enlarge.. You could also consider that (with some lightbox script..)

all best,
Ivan

the images are indeed not sharp, this is because they are made smaller to about 600px and then in the site to 200px. I'm about to write them down and resize them so they look sharp. But as there was a deadline for 23-1-2010 i had to put it online like it is. So i'm still gonna change that. In the "Fotoalbum" they are sharp. That is a shadowbox module i made.

Nice site Bram! Very well done. Your client must be a happy man (or woman)!

What do you mean by "Gezocht"? I can't find anything like that...

[Bramus]

Argos With Gezocht i mean on the left side. There is a div with "Gezocht" and some text in it that they are looking for help in the summer. This is done by a hidden page in the backend and with some MySQL in the template to fetch the WYSIWYG content.

And it are a man and a woman A family that runs this "camping" (camp site). My first thoughts where a small camping but when i first went to the customer i did see it was pretty big. Very nice camp site from what i saw when i was there.

Ah! I don't understand why it missed that...

There is also a droplet for that, did you know?

Hoi,

Nice site. But for the weather (at the bottom of the screen) there is a new tool ==> http://www.ebrueggeman.com/phpweatherlib/
I didn't use or study it. Maybe somebody can make a droplet of it?   

Grtz,

Hi LuckyLuke,

The customer wanted the same website as they had on their old website. Now this was the only online version that fitted into the site (color / style). So thats why i had to use this.
