Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Opinions Please!

    This is my first website and I basically learned everything that had to be learned to create it. Total noob!
    Personally I am happy enough that it seems to be pretty clear and easy to navigate. Not too bad on the eyes.
    But there may well be a lot of stuff wrong that I simply don't realise. It's a basic site with a basic enough purpose. I probably should get the main page filled up a bit (currently nothing there!)

    Anyway, good or bad reviews welcome.

    Thanks folks!

    Hi PackedPockets,

    It is lacking in come content on the front page and correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it a slightly modified template?

    Yes I modified the template. There was 'slides' on the front page. But I really don't think I need them.
    Yeah I know the front page is seriously lacking content too (none!). It is something I will get around to.

    It is a joomla site. Forgot to mention that.


    I do realise it is a very simple, very basic site. But any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You definately need something to replace the grey or mix it up. Its like you are waiting for the site to load or something.

    Its a tad bland.

    Only my 2 cents :)

    Thanks yop, appreciated.

    I basically have to plan the main page out I suppose. Decide what I want on it, then figure out where it will go, and then modify the template to suit it (or get a new one).

    Ever so slightly added to the main page. Just text but at least it explains what's going on.
    I know it won't be winning prizes but opinions or criticisms welcome! I'm willing to work on it.
    Thanks folks. :)
