Title: BurkeKnight Enterprises Community Forum
Post by: Burke Knight on June 10, 2015, 09:23:15 am
Well, after a lot of work, converting, and working on looks, my newly converted site is ready to be shown. :)

It started out, as my main site, for those of you who have been to BurkeKnight Enterprises, when it was a forum, you'll know it. When I decided I'd had enough with the forum I was using at the time, I changed BKE to a regular web site. Then I decided to move the forum to the domain I had for WebMaster's Haven, and revive that site. Then I decided, after much debating, to convert to ElkArte. Lately, we have moved the site to it's new domain, and name: BurkeKnight Enterprises Community Forum.

I've been happy ever since, doing what I do best, going in, and making the site look how I want it to. Using SimplePortal for years, and being a Beta Tester for it, it being ported over to Elk, was one of the main reasons I was happy to convert, as is the mobile friendliness right from the start. A few of the other addons, are really icing on the cake, for me. :)

BurkeKnight Enterprises Community Forum would more likely not have become one of my favorite sites to be working on, if not for the conversion. So many thanks go out to the ElkArte team[1]. :)

That is very nice page indeed. Though I prefer the up and down button (outline) to be less obvious than the current one you use. ;)

I would try border and color as #ddd and background as #fff; and for hover, color #fff and backgroud #ddd. ;)

By the way, am still with your forum?  ;D

@ahrasis
Yes, you are. Login still the same.
As for up/down, I wanted to match my colors.
Border had to be that size, due to IE.

I noted one thing more as I view this site in mobile browser. It is somehow not properly centered for SP frontpage. It is fine in forum though. Maybe its related to SP but I am not so sure.

for me that logo is huge, you also have too many blocks on the left side and the main part of your portal is empty.

Depends on the browser and screen resolution, on the logo, I think.
However, I was thinking of undoing the sizer, since using the newer logo.
Fit fine for the older one...LOL

As for the portal, that's going to be filled in few days, as working on some new projects, that will get special posts there. :)
Just have to wait on the finalization of them.
