This is the website for Powersafe Safety Products  (www.powersafe.net.au). Please let men know what you think. We have a lot of fun pushing the Builder and iThemes boundaries combining them with custom HTML and JQuery layouts.

Thanks,

Hi,

when clicking, your link links to another site, can you check? But copying and pasting the url works. Nice looking site indeed, very much an "on topic design".

John,

Those are some GREAT sites. Do you use any menu plugins? Also, how did you do the Current Stock search seen here: http://www.caravanworld.biz/current-stock/ ? Was that all coding or a plugin?

Thanks!

[John Banitsiotis]

Thanks Casey, in some sites we use the 'Jquery Mega Menu' but I have found this doesn't play nice with some of the newer Builder Child Themes. Seems to be stable in older ones like 'Retro' and 'Fire'. The rollover menu on the rotating header is all coded manually no plug in there (www.caravanworld.biz) . The stock search at http://www.caravanworld.biz/current-stock/ is an iframe from a caravan hub trader site.  We modifed Shopp for other pages such as New Caravans.  The usual suspects are custom 'jquery' next-gen gallery and gravity forms!

Thanks for the great feedback! Please let us know how we could improve for the future!

great work - I was getting a bit of buyers remorse after purchasing and then being a little intimidated by the css and numerous divs and classes but after seeing your sites I am sure i just need to spend more than a few hours dabbling before I get cold feet - Your designs have inspiration and show a respect for the viewer and that says a lot! It shows you had a vision and builder helped you get there . -while many others simply drop in what ever fits and change colors..

Thank you John - for turning my frown upside down - I'd be interested into knowing your feedback and or tips for approaching new designs with builder and I think i speak for many in saying we need advise but better yet inspiration. I want to love ithemes - I do and after seeing you work i'm sure i will!

I'm familiar with thematic and love it as a framework and have had success in building pretty much anything i wanted with it and I was wondering how you feel builder limits and or adds to your web design process and if you ever worked with other frameworks like thematic and or Genisis etc.. I'm almost positive you have judging the quality and level of your designs.
