my site

[Bibio]

thought it was time i put a website together so i can show off all my bits'n'bobs so last night and today i done just that.

yes its just a basic template at the moment and i will add content/pretty pictures later.

yes it's just a test page.

so what do you all think?

Just an observation, the svbits at the top left corner, that looks a bit boring, I'd change the font on that or something.
The rest looks ok so far :)

[Bibio]

how about if i put a couple of nipples on the B :-)

i actually have a really nice font i might try later

but yeah i'm pretty happy with it so far.

Not bad, guessing the res on the banner will be upped once ready? Just noticed the Pointy in the banner is reversed. Logos are backwards.

[Grant66]

It lacks dancing Gerbils :)

hhmm i might just put one on somewhere :-)

[Rocketeer]

I like it. Can't stand tat on sites. Just simple links and no dancing bears !

[garynortheast]

Nice and clean so far. Are you using Joomla for this Lance?

[Fallout]

Does the job!

[Shawthing]

Nice.
The decal on the pointy nose looks frack to bunt.
I mean back to front!

If you want any help mate i currently run two websites for separate people, any questions just ask.

[Bibio]

cool. so far so good :-)

i used to design and manage sites years ago but i must admit i'm very rusty.

no Joomla just plain old frontpage as its not going to be a commercial site.

[Elliott]

Thought about basic Wordpress?

I'm guessing you'll be using it just as a catalogue with orders just processed via email and PayPal?

Design looks good tho although the res is fairly low ATM.

yup res is low for fast loading, learnt my lesson years ago about fancy sites that's why there is no slide scaling yada yada.

the site is just for reference so forum members can go and look to see what they want then PM me here.

i don't want to be too busy so it takes up all my time. i just want a nice steady traffic to make beer money and help out the members on here.

John has been very very kind and patient allowing me to do group buys as it is, but with the amount of goodies i'm going to be adding i don't want to be taking the pizz. if i'm allowed than i'll put a thread up when new stuff is added just as a nudge to show members otherwise there will be no more group buys but i will still keep prices low.

if truth be told i'm mostly bored out my nut and this is helping me releive that boredom.

Bibs - huge +1 on looking at Wordpress, it'll make adding new pages/products Eric so, so much easier.

More than happy to return some of the help you've always put my way so just let me know if you need anything.

[Roberrrrt]

I'd also give a +1 to wordpress. I used it on my site, with a nicer looking 'skin' to jazz it up a bit.

OK! Now it makes more sense! ;)

[Bibio]

wordpress looks interesting but i really don't see the need for it in my case. would look to using it if i was out to make an impression but i'll stick to simple old frontpage and filezilla :-)

[Bibio]

slight change. now centred on page and link buttons added

http://www.svbits.com

[DanSp]

Looks good!! I did notice though that the links are only the text, not the whole button (I think that makes sense) not sure if it would be a problem on a pc but made clicking some awkward on the iPhone!

The site doesn't work properly for me using IE10, Chrome or FireFox...... unless they are all just test pages with no content?

How about arranging the links on the left in alphabetical order (except for the home button of course). Although perhaps you have listed them like that for a reason.

[craig dow]

looks great , carnt wait till you get the bits for sale on there , sure theres stuff im needing , your going to be busy keeping up with the orders , well done and good on you

[Bibio]

nope no reason the the order of the links apart from ... 'oohhh yeah i'll be doing them as well' as i was putting the links in.. lol

not to busy i hope and a couple of orders a week would be nice.

How about making some SS plates for the curvy rear axle/swingarm to add to your portfolio of SV parts.

I bought mine on Ebay incl SS pan head bolts for the adjusters

Piece of cake to make & mine are a big improvement over the stock plates.

Found this image of the horrible OEM ones, with a mount for a Scott oiler pipe, which is also quite a neat idea. Your pointy one is better

Food for thought?

[Bibio]

they are in the pipeline :-)

just need a curvy swingarm and wheel spindle which i will invest in sometime in the new year.

[maviczap]

No need I have a spare swingarm you can borrow, I haven't got the spindle, but someone must have one

[Bibio]

yey i knew someone would have one kicking about.. i'll be looking to have a loan of it mid January if that's ok.

[maviczap]

Yep no problem

[DanSp]

Ill be breaking a curvy in Jan...

[Bibio]
