Hi everyone,

Would you please review www.daizee.net and let me know what you think - where can I improve?

Thanks a mil!

Hi Melanie,

Your site is really awesome. The colours work well and I can't fault it. I've designed quiet a few sites in my career and the only fault I can find is your icons at the bottom "sharing is caring" (awesome idea btw), need to be moved up slightly.

Hi Melanie,

Great looking site - I do agree with Tash though - those social networking links need to be moved higher up the page.

Well done - I remember reading somewhere that you put that together yourself!

Thank you Tasch and Shelley for the great responses, it is so much appreciated.

I had a web designer set up the site but I do most of the maintenance myself - I don't have much knowledge though!

I tried to have a look at where to move up the social networking toolbar but I can't find it - does any of you know where to move it?

Thanks for the help guys!

Melanie

It's a joomla site correct? Give this forum a try - joomla.org.za/

Hi

This is the template being used:

www.yootheme.com/demo/themes/joomla/2010...emid=53&preset=green

Here you can see what module positions are available:

www.yootheme.com/demo/themes/joomla/2010...icle&id=58&Itemid=58

Check how the social networking tools have been added, is it a plugin? or it a module? Try a different module position like 'main bottom block'.

hope that helps.

If it's a plugin, you will most likely need to edit some CSS.

I'd recommend getting rid of the date. Also, your 'find us on facebook' is not displaying well. You have background module styling there. Set the module to blank, or edit the css not to display a background.

I would also simplify the logo a bit.

Like Dylan said its a template. Maybe get some custom made. But over all looks good and you can't really go wrong with a template.

The side bar text has a shadow on it that makes it slightly harder to read. I would suggest removing it.

To remove the shadow go to this part of your layout.css file.

#left,
#right {
color: black; /*John Budd was c8c8c8;*/
text-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
}

Remove text-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); and save it.
