    Hi all,

    Check out my site here.

    I built it with the centric theme. But my header is strange...

    Someone suggested I use paralax instead. Well, I have both! What will be easiest?

    What is the difference and what will I gain/lose?

    And: if I change to paralax, how can I do this without losing all my work up to this point?

    Greetings!

    What is the best theme for me?

    How long is a piece of string? 🙂

    I think It will be easiest to sort out the Centric header concerns. (spacing around site-title and the menu?)

    Your 'corrector' site message is not necessarily one that draws on the emotions that might be influenced with the big, hero-sized images of Parallax, and without those images Parallax is just a blank page. As for alternatives, I would have suggested Altitude before Parallax for its grouped text/widget areas and scroll-down-the-story navigation potential (that you can also do with Centric); it also makes a good impression without the background images.

    With a change to using any different theme you'll go through all of the same work you did to custom-style Centric, layout copy and icons, images, etc. Your copy is established, but you'll have to re-imagine it in a much different presentation.

    There are reasons you chose Centric. If they are still valid, stick with it, otherwise re-evaluate your design strategy.

    Not sure why anyone would recommend that you switch to the Parallax theme...but whatever. I took a look at your site, and have to wonder what you mean when you say that your header is "strange." I don't see anything wrong or strange. Can you tell us more about that?
