    Hi Guys,

    Well, after many photoshop renders, long nights of coming up with ideas, my new design is up.

    On the outside, it looks NOTHING like Joomla - which I like!

    Let me know what you think/like/don't like.

    Looks good, great job with modifying it. Definitely doesn't look like a Joomla site at first glance. Hope you will continue working on it and improving it!!

    :)

    Looks really good - don't forget to take advantage of the different user positions!

    That really does look like more of a blog-based CMS than Joomla!. Try experimenting with the more advanced stuff in Joomla! templating (overrides, menu positions, parameters, etc.) and you can make your site easier to manage in the long run (if you haven't already).

    You've got a really nice looking platform going man! Good stuff!

    Keep building on it as time goes on.. and eventually you will have something premium, full of all the bells and whistles to call your own.

    Love the look of your custom build! Great job, its very impressive. I have two questions for you, after using Joomla myself in the past.

    1) Do you experience, or have you experienced, any performance issues - slow running etc with your Joomla site?
    2) Did you do this design yourself or contract a company out to do this...Id love to know who...Id ask them to work on mine!
