Craig Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Wow. That's a terrific-looking site. Good work
kongondo Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Nice, clean and loads super fast...we all know why! . I like the typography. Minor issue on the sessions page (see screenshot) - cramped arrows. Good job!
BFD Calendar Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Impressive site for an impressive offer of courses and events at the art center.
renobird Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Very well done! Congrats on the launch. On the faculty page, if the area isn't listed it throws off the grid Maybe output a if the area is empty? Otherwise, looks fantastic.
renobird Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 One other tiny nitpick. Open Sans and Arial together in a few places feels a little weird. I would avoid the conflicting type and just use one or the other site wide for the sans-serif typeface. 1
Macrura Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 @renobird - thanks, just fixed that faculty page, according to your advice...definitely looks better.. though it will inevitably be off on tablet because the names flow onto 2 lines - should still work because it's using isotope, expecting the possibility of different heights.. as far as typography, you're right, i'm just not sure where to fix it - do you mean the paragraph styling being Arial and some of the headers being Open Sans? I didn't do the base design on this, but i've been adding a lot to the original design as the project developed; i agree that the typography is wonky in places.. @kongondo - thanks for looking - yes, there are some little bits and pieces here and there that are wonky, will try to fix them but by bit! thanks everyone else for checking it out!
renobird Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 though it will inevitably be off on tablet because the names flow onto 2 lines - should still work because it's using isotope, expecting the possibility of different heights.. You can combat the by giving the names container a min-height at smaller widths. That way if there are some that only take up one line the container still expands to a consistent height across all items. do you mean the paragraph styling being Arial and some of the headers being Open Sans? I didn't do the base design on this Yeah. Assuming you are going to go with open sans, just add that declaration to the <body> and remove all the references to Arial. 1
alan Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Very nice site and very helpful post noting Modules and threads, thank you for sharing Macrura and congrats on a great site.
Macrura Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 @renobird - thanks again, i'll be back working on styling in a few days and will try the suggestion of setting body to open sans.. @alanfluff - thanks for checking it out... more to come in terms of 'case study' - doing some interesting things with url manipulation, c/o ryan's cms critic case study (in this case i have all of the classes bucketed under a 'class database' but output url is changed by hook)... still more versions to come in January & beyond, possible foxycart integration for payments, speed tweaks etc..
Pete Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Love it, looks like it was a perfect match for ProcessWire (as in I can see how everything would work, like staring at The Matrix when browsing the site ). I look forward to reading the case study
