v8 Showcase / Example Sites

How did you get the text underline on the links to be a different colour to the text? I was trying that yesterday and failed miserably!

I haven't used Actinic since V3, so it i was interested in see how the system has come along over the years. Please feel free to have a look at http://www.perilla.co.uk/index.html/

http://www.perilla.co.uk/index.html works

This is a very nice site.

After much work, our V8 Actinic site is up at
www.tv-wall-brackets.co.uk

The only problem at the moment is that the server is a little slow, so we'll be moving it from our USA server back home to the UK very soon - so hopefully then it will fly

Thought I would also add my site to the list as it is V8 and live.

Within a week of going live I made a high purchase sale and V8 had paid for itself.

Any thoughts or comments about the site would be most welcomed.

Thanks

You can do this with the CSS border property. Combined with padding, you can use 'border-bottom' to give a much more flexible underline than the 'text-decoration' property allows.

works better in firefox like you say you only have one scroll bar.

but in ie7 you have three.

[QUOTE=Rayitson]I designed www.rayitson.com using V8, im a fairly new user to actinic and found it a lot easier than V7 and i liked the themes, especially the executive them.

you need to grt your logo right you need to edit the actinic.css

near the Bottom you will find

#contemporary_top_bar {
width: auto;

height: 64px;


this need changing to your logo height: 120px

I am in the middle of redesigning a cctv site for one of my clients in V8

Just using a default template there, a good example of how Actinic can look without much HTML/coding experiance!

Here's our V8 site, which went live last November. Main design is a custom css template built in DW, ported from another e-commerce application.

Done my wife's site Super Star Baby (Designer baby clothes) here www.superstarbaby.co.uk

and a new baby gift site here www.easybabygifts.co.uk


Did change our main site www.abcbabygifts.co.uk in Oct 06 to Actinic V8, but after two months we dropped from 600 / 700 clicks a day from Google to only 200 (lost orders!).
I also lost top 10 placements on Google for important keywords like 'baby gifts' and 'christening gifts' after changing to V8. I did change the look of the site a bit in V8 and I think this is why we lost these placements, I should not have changed the look of the site, but V8 is one amazing program and with Dreamweaver you can get carried away in changing the look of your site.
I've now changed back in Jan 07 to our old V7 site and need to wait till Google indexes the whole site again to see if I get back my 600/700 clicks a day (for my peace of mind anyway). Will let you know.

Les - you may want to look at the easy baby site in Firefox - the "to checkout" image is sitting directly beneath the "delievry info".

Nice pastel colour palette
