Hey all Just wanted comments and reviews on my new design at http://www.nobledirectory.com/ Designed by coolweb and coded by mikey1090 Its done for the latest 3.3.0 version of phpld. Is everything ok in your browser? Need some good answers from other directory owners!
Design looks really Sleek and professional Chetan, also Mikey as always does a great job with the coding. I have tested it in IE7 and FF also All the best with the new design.
I just was not that active in the directories section. And mikey, i think he has coded many other designs too. Great coder!
A great template indeed Chetan. Noble is far more noble now with a unique design. Just one thing that ain't going along with the design (In my personal opinion of course) The alexa image in details page is not going with the looks. In fact spoiling the looks as i could say. But then it's my opinion. You're the boss of your directory Example: http://www.nobledirectory.com/detail/link-249.html (Obviously i will pick my own listing! ) Anyways, perhaps you would like to rebuild category cache as well. Categories ain't showing up in detail page Anyways, those are technical faults. The template is indeed very good! Congrats! Good luck!
One of the better looking phpLD template I've seen thus far. You really picked the right people to give you a hand on this and I must say it worked out fantastically. The new Template Rocks!
Chetan, I checked your new design using an 'old browser engine', the results were the same in all browsers except for IE4, which showed the main menu aligned to the top of the horizontal bar as opposed to the bottom like all other browsers showed. Not that it matters, IE7 had 22% of usage, IE 6 had 30.7% and IE5 had 1.7% usage last month, not sure about IE4 but I suspect it would be less than 1% of home users. So that will be around 0.000000001% of people looking to submit their site to the directory. Finally, IMO, it looks great - except the 'Celebrities' icon, who is that? Can we have a have a snapshot from the Paris Hilton sex tape instead? HaHaHa! I joke, I joke. Keep it clean kids.
[IMO]change font or background color too of details page. both not standing out. And, increase the size of fonts for category names on homepage...[/IMO]
I was given a template in PSD format. I coded it into html/css and then integrated it into phpLD. I also upgraded his directory to phpLD 3.3. Yes. See below. Thanks Chetan. I have coded many designs. My latest directory and also Brians seowebdirectory were moved to phpLD 3.3. Thats aside from around 20 phpLB themes that I have upgraded. If you check my free templates on ZD, you will see the popular "Dense" template was coded by me Rob should also get a mention as he did some work installing the great iconMOD of his.
Well Chetans was a little complicated and it was my birthday so I was quite busy. It was around 7-10 days but I probably did it in around 10-15 hours. Why do you ask?
To know what to expect for any future coding i may ever want done. I guess thats not bad really, time wise.
