  • Keeping in mind that you are the expert on what you want to present, I’ll give you my feedback on what you are presenting so far.

    When I look at your website it’s wide because my monitor is wide screen. On the far right are links to your portfolios.

    1. I like the left side of your website where I see your name, pictures and the welcome message. The plain text of your welcome is not very sexy or attractive but that can be improved later.

    2. I dislike, greatly, the word-links to see your portfolios because they are small, too far to the right and barely noticeable. I think I would prefer they be closer to your company name, larger, perhaps represented by icon pictures instead of words.

    3. Once I click the portfolios I like the presentation but I miss a back button to return to a picture that I passed up. I passed up one of the beautiful ladies to look at one to her right then could not get back to the one I passed up.

    4. Oh, and I vote for Iliana. hahaha. πŸ™‚

    I like it, just as you said it is a work-in-progress. Just keep working at it and go ahead and add that plug-in it should help.

    When you resize a window to a smaller size it messes up and content disappears. you need to give your wrapper a min width so that if the browser falls below a certain size people can scroll instead of being unable to view content.

    can you assist.

    Thanks in advance.

    You need to modify your css code in the stylesheet.
    The code for your sites style is here:

    look for wrapper and give it a min-height and min-width because presently i cant see the content if the browser window is small.

    is it that entry then that i need to modify in the bright.css file :

    “}
    #wrapper {
    margin: auto;
    }”

    not sure what code to enter.

    try:

    #wrapper {
    margin: auto;
    min-width:960px;
    min-height:600px;
     }

    done it. can yu see any difference ?

    its fixed the problem of if the window got too small the navigation would overlap the image but there is still a problem with the overflow. the scrollbars arent showing at all which just means the content is cut off. just resize your browser to a smaller size to see what i mean. i dont have much time as i am work but i will try and look at it when i can otherwise you could try posting it in this forum:

    i resized the browser to the smaller size and it shows the scroll bar (internet explorer)it does not show in firefox (because i ask the designer how to remove the scrollbars).

    but the issue with the scrollbar is moot,i think because you can see the photos by pressing the numbers or the arrow just below the photos (content photos would slide to the left until last photo set is displayed, if you know what i mean) That was the purpose of the wordpress template that i bought (i did not design it) as seen in the demo from the designer website : http://themeforest.net/item/liquid-gallery/full_screen_preview/73910

    not sure if i need to add comment on how to navigate the content.

    The problem with getting rid of the scrollbars is that if people have a windowed browser the content might get cut off for them like this:

    i can see why you want to get rid of them tho for the horizontal navigation of the portfolio but people might not even see the navigation like so:
    http://thebettertwin.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/sitenoscroll2.png
    you should at least have a vertical scroll so people can view the content.

    ok, ii understand.

    I made the proper changes.

    can you tell me if it is what you meant about the scrollbars ?

    Thread Starter photoworks

    (@photoworks)

    i assigned inherit value to the overflow properties so that when the window is big enough no scrollbar. when the window is too small, vertical and horizontal scrollbar appears.

    is it what you meant ?

    yep, thats perfect.
    love the still life photos btw, theyre great.
