Haha ... yes, I've also thought it turned out a little more congested than I would have liked (sometimes difficult to visualize in first concept all the info needed to actually 'run' the business). But that's the risk you run of a "fixed" height/width design. Also, I am not a designer by trade, so I always have that excuse to fall back on. ;-) That said, I will be doing some post-launch clean-up during the next few weeks to try to give the homepage a bit more 'space', but all-in-all, I like how it turned out. Especially that virtually everything is editable from within C5. Note: this design also utilizes the "global scrapbook" (5.3.2) to make the Image Slider identical on all pages, but only requires one-time edits in the Dashboard to propagate changes to all pages. Very useful and overlooked featured of the Concrete Team's latest release. --Dirk Thanks for the nice write-up.
