totally redesigned website for Bonnevilles Unlimited

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

totally redesigned website for Bonnevilles Unlimited

Post by harofreak00 »

The old site was outdated and blah. I created a completely new one with Wordpress and I'm really pumped about it. Check it out. Looking for feedback, good or bad.

It looks good, but the header is gigantic on mine (1024x768), putting the navigation menu at the bottom.

Is the header logo and photo supposed to be side by side? Or one on top of the other?

Screenshot? It depends on whether you are on a mobile browser or not.

Hah, you would be surprised, after all, it is an old people car. You know old people like to run 800x600.

I wonder if there is a way you could have it check screen resolution and adjust the header, or use different pics accordingly...

If you resize it smaller it, both the logo and photo change size appropriately. 1024x768 is just at that weird point.

Looks good/normal to me. Usually browse on this computer connected to my HDTV, 1366X768. Things are normally small. Viewing at ~ 6 foot. Keep the magnification setting in the lower right corner at 125% and go higher when it's needed. Every thing seems huge when using the other computer with a 1280X1024 display.

Home page reminds me of the car search commercial from a few years ago. Everything is flipped over to Bonnevilles.

I agree, Wordpress makes life so much easier when designing websites (the few that I run all are built on WP).

Looks Clean. My only suggestion is to work on moving it higher on the Google search results when someone searches for something such as "SSEI parts" or "Bonneville parts"

Easy peasy, just give Google money to be an advertiser. Otherwise it's a female dog.
