Looks great Wolfi.  I love the little contact slider on your home page.

The design looks great but I think too much content in the Home page. Perhaps you can break it up by having sub pages. This way you can add more pages without expanding the Home page further. Here is what I came up with. As you can see, you can showcase the dropdown menu feature of the design too. Wink

Thanks Len and Tom!

Maybe you are right, Tom. Perhaps I should reduce the content a little bit.

On the other side there are many, many sites on the web similar to mine with long content. And I wanted only one site.

I will think about it.

I believe the main reason why so many sites are like that is because of Google. If you want your site to show up at the top of the search list, you want as much content as possible to match the keywords.

But remember your philosophy – Less is More. Bakie

Thanks Tom, tried several solutions, but I like it at the moment as it is.

But it's not the final solution. Will still think about it.

BTW: Any new improvements with wonderCMS? If so, keep me posted.

Yes, I have seen some of your solutions. For example, I like your Portfolio sites where you load the entire site contents all at once and scroll to the selected section by clicking on the associated links. Your use of slider is another fine example. As you know, using popup when mouseover is also a good solution.

I'm not sure Robbie is interested in incorporating my codes into his CMS. Instead of putting what I have so far on hold, I decided to create a new project and named it odCMS-Lite. You can try it out in your development site. I'll release it when I'm able to convert all your sites to run under this CMS. I'll keep you posted.

Tom, as I stated in some random post before, of course I'm interested, I thought we're developing 2 versions of wondercms? Anything to make it better and more useful.

Another note, if you used the original code from wondercms please give credit. ;)

I'm only doing this if you are not interested of having two versions of wonderCMS. I'll be more than happy to work with you to further improve the system. I'm now moving this project back as wonderCMS version 2.

Lets not hijack Wolfram's thread here. Further discussion should be in your thread.

Nice Design, Wolfram. Like your minimalist and straight to the point approach with all your designs. Although, the "Free Stuff… " section could use a separate page in my opinion. Bakie
