Sandbox

Well, we've just completed the English National Ballet website overhaul! We had to move it completely from Adobe/Macromedia Contribute 3 to Joomla!

It uses Joomla .13, Coppermine Gallery, PHPList and 4 different templates to achieve the tight formatting required to EXACTLY match their old template.

Extended Menu and various menu highlighting tweaks give the split menus the style they needed, and creative use of blog layouts got the Dancer pages looking snazzy (Hide Intro is an invaluable tool when necessary!)

Take a look here:

English National Ballet has charitable status in UK.

Fabulous! 

The XML declaration is in the wrong place...

It should be at the very beginning of the template's index.php file. Better still, you should delete it as it makes IE go into quirks mode.

The DOCTYPE says XHTML strict but you use code like:



...spotted at the footer area.

Overall a nice work.
