Well I designed a site for a client of mine and sense you guys obviously have a knack for theming and styles I figured I would get your input on it.

Feel free to let me know what you think about the color scheme and any possible grammatical errors you may come across.

This is basically how I got introduced to nuke is that I was designing html pages for just a few small companies and I got tired of having to constantly edit pages when they just wanted an i dotted or a t crosses, so I did some research and got into the world of CMS's.

I have made 3 seperate nuke sites and for community based sites I think Nuke fits the bill perfectly, but these people didn't need a site where they could track thier members or anything fancy plus Nuke just didn't feel right for them and even though I find it easy to admin obviously not everyone does. So I dug deeper and found a new Open Source CMS called Mambo Site Server with it you can still have contributing editors and such but I have basically stripped out alot of the fluff fo this site and used it to make a basic point of presense site driven by a database backend so that the users can login to the admin panel and edit/add news and articles as they see fit.

I highly reccommend anyone who may be interested to download and install it. Install literally took me 5 minutes, just untar the files, chmod some directories, change one config file and poof the site is up. Also the themes are pretty easy to manipulate using dreamweaver.

So anyways wanted to share my find with you all. Nuke is still #1 in my heart but for a site where they don't need all the bells and whistles, this seems to do the trick!

It doesn't have the great community support that Nuke has either but the project team is pretty active and I am hoping that it may grow as well.

I didn't put this in the showoff forum because I believe that should be used to showoff the skills you have learned here as it relates to nuke. This is something totally different but I respect many of your views and appreciate any input you can give me before I turn it over to the client

I like it, clean and professional looking.

not bad, my friend, not bad at all..

Nice job!

I like the reverse mouseover color schemes. Nice touch.

Please bare in mind I'm not terribly fond of orange when you read the rest. It's just a personal preference.

I would change the links, mouseovers etc to the same color red as in the logo, and the little green image to the same color yellow as in the logo. Just to have continuity within the page itself. I would also reverse the color of the email addy so it's red and mouseover goes to its exsisting color, just to bring it out of the page a little.
