I think it looks great. Well done. One thing I'd suggest is a WYSIWYG editor for the text boxes. The logo editor needs to be a little simpler too.
Thanks The logo editor is actually the same as the content editor. However, it would be nice to give images and background images they're own field types.
Wow, I think it`s great! And as a CMS it`s briliantly simple, especially for those who seek just a very simple CMS. Great job !
You`re welcome Not long ago i was searching for a super simple CMS for a presentation site, I`m used to Joomla, but it`s too complex, Wordpress also, so i wanted something very light and easy to implement in my own design, without the pain of coding a theme. Didn`t find any. Either they were too big, or you had to be a programmer to work with them.
Exactly what this is for. People who either don't want to go through that work or don't have the time. I hate wordpress as well, as well as the many CMSs out there.
You've obviously got strong designers. Very nice site, a few points of (hopefully) constructive criticism: - When I click EDIT on an image, it's quite difficult to know what to do (chuck in a '?' with a hover explanation), and the style is a little messed up (very cramped - maybe rather than opening an edit box of that size, you'd be better off with an overlay, e.g. the user clicks 'Edit', and then the page greys out apart from a larger edit box which appears in the center of the page, giving the user much more space to edit in.) - When I click 'Add Plugin', the 'Close', 'Save', 'Remove From Field' and 'Cancel' buttons don't seem very highly designed, in comparison with the rest of the website. Otherwise, great work - you have an awesome product that needs a tiny bit of polishing to be top notch. You should be very proud .
Wow - another great review. Thanks a lot for the suggestion about dimming the rest of the screen. That would be perfect for small content areas where the editor gets squeezed. Also, I want to avoid people from editing multiple content areas at once, which would screw things up and make it very complicated. This idea would clear up those concerns. As for designers. Just me and my girlfriend. We work hard to get things looking good. Thanks for pointing that out.
Hey I can get your permission to add "Briliantly simple!" WebCosmo Forums to the list of "Early reviewers are saying..."??
Very nice! it looks super simple to edit anything. My only suggestion would be to cancel the editing when the user clicks outside of the editing zone of the element, that way you don't force them to click cancel when they want to leave the element edit. Good luck!
Congrats mate ! After i saw your site i feel very very hungry ! LOL. Simple Design, Good Logo with right picture.
Maybe move the "Edit", and "Add Plugin" buttons to the center when hovered and style them up so they are not so plain. The rest of the design is great, but those buttons take away from the design. I like the simplicity.
You sites makes me starving...GREAT FOOD PHOTOS! I think the logo can be a bit bigger, "the seafood restaurant" words are a bit hard to see. Just my opinion
