Nice theme indeed. Perhaps you can use Wickett Twitter plugin from wordpress.org and put it somewhere on the site.
Cheers 😀
Yeah it’s a nice theme.. the problem is that the owner isn’t connected like with twitter.. maybe at the very least i can make him create a facebook page and put a “follow on facebook” thing.
I would keep an eye on the quality of the pictures. The one for the reservations button seems to be really too small originally.
Wow didn’t know people were still commenting.. Yup when my friend gives me more photos i will have to change that one out! thanks for the comment
The only thing that seems kind of off about it is the slideshow category repeating – it makes the slideshow function superfluous and the two blog posts aren’t really ‘blogs’ but informative pieces that fit better in an ‘about us’ and the “0” comment blurbs detract from the professionalism that is being projected.
So what I’m getting at is that (and this is only constructive suggestion, not a manifesto) the site may better project the clients image if the following were rethought:
The comment blurbs: drop em. If the site is primarily a catalog of services and a gallery of events to impress potential clientele, they’re not going to drudge through comment after comment. Maybe the photo gallery would be a better place to implement the commenting (a new post per gallery?)
The top slideshow: Completely useless for its application. You can likely go on and play with the PHP script and remove the functionality of it. I know that you paid for it, but that theme really wasn’t designed for the application it’s being used. A couple off the top of my head that could be played with to work well is “Nami” or “Multichrome” (again… would have to really get dirty in it).
Twitter: isn’t a function I’d really consider implementing on this unless she were to twit daily promotions – same with the facebook thing. I know it’s all the rage ATM, but it’s really overused and improperly implemented (to a point that it can be self-defeating and detrimental). Besides, if the owner were connected with twitter, the promotion tweets (if that’s how they’d be used) wouldn’t be an ‘out front’ feature because the theme doesn’t utilize it to any sort of potential.
Map: Try it out in a widget instead of your elongated gallery. Do this along with phone numbers and the methods of payment. As it it, sitting up top and small like it is, it’s obscure and not completely noticeable.
10 Reasons: If you switch themes, you could have the 10 reasons listed below and across the bottom to keep the site more concentrated and professional yet fun and approachable.
Again, these are just suggestions – given from a user perspective. If you need help or have questions about what I’ve said – or in general want to cuss me out – my email is listed
