Whew… it’s been a long day. We just finished training our contact for this site and made it live. Boy howdy, I’m going to enjoy THIS weekend…

Bradley Roofing and Maintenance has never had a website. Owner Noel Bradley was referred to us by another client and has been just about the most trouble free individual we’ve ever worked with. The site uses Mark Huot’s file extension, phat fusion’s multibox and the solspace free form extension.

...and Mark…. we are looking at the image resizer thing you suggested to address the same situation on this site! So back off buddy!

wink

For anyone out there still waffling over whether or not Expression Engine is a viable platform for development: None of these sites took longer than 20 hours to develop from concept to launch. EE is the best thing to ever happen to our little shop; our programmer can concentrate on custom web apps and our designers can whip together an amazingly feature rich site in no time. Even our admin person helps by setting up standardized weblogs. Yes you have to buy a license, but in our opinion open source CMS solutions are worth every penny you pay for them!

Looking very good. Nice work coming from your stable there.

And especially this CMS. I don’t even think about the cost any more. In fact I don’t think I have ever thought about it! ExpressionEngine is just so good that it is more than worth the price if just for the Technical Support on these forums alone.

Really glad you have loads of work coming in and that you are getting it all out of the door so fast, really good news.

Keep up the great work.

Best wishes,

Mark

Everything will be good in the end. If it’s not good, it’s not the end.

Nice site impdesigns, the gallery mootools multibox is a pretty slick lightbox contender, like that a lot.
The steel type roof or whatever it is in the design header looks like something I could use on my place, but that’s probably a commercial quality, commercial price roof.
Does the mootools multibox use “gallery” features or is it just uploaded images in a weblog?
I have a personal license now, so I finally have access to the official gallery module.
Thanks,
Ty “Three-day-weekend Club” wink

Just noticed the pull-quote in the header, great design/typography work!
The about and contact pages are not currently loading any quote text.
That’s great incentive for a client site, hey at the very least pop in there once in a while and change your page quotes. I get people wanting a horizontal scroll, and I hate those (Sales what are you gonna do?).
