Hey, just thought I'd see how you were making out with your site.

[amylynn]

What about removing or relocating some of the stuff that isn't adding value for the user.

For example on the sidebar:

--maybe remove the Welcome Y'all image (it's cute, but not adding much and taking up space)
--remove the bloglovin' count (save that for when you get lots of followers and want to show it)
--put your mission in a more visible spot like above the posts

Stuff like that might help make it look less crowded. Happy to help if you'd like more of my two cents 🙂

Awesome job!

I noticed that the navigation isn't on your About page. Might be easier for the user to have it included.

I like the colors and feel of the site. A few things stuck out for me:
--Font seems a little small. I would think about increasing it some.
--There is a lot of information in a small space. Wondering if there is a way to set it up/organize it so that it doesn't feel so overwhelming?
--I'm walking away without a 100% understanding on what you're offering-- I'm also not someone who goes to a lot of barn sales/markets so maybe it's just me :). Is your site a place for people to list their businesses and events or do you organize the events for them?

Hope this helps.

Looks pretty good-- I like that the content (esp on the home page) is available in an organized way.

I do find that the slider moves quickly, both the time the slide is showing and the transition speed. I would slow those down to make it easier for visitors to take that info in.

You can customize themes to your needs. StudioPress has two real estate themes that might be a good base:
http://my.studiopress.com/themes/agentpress/#demo-full
http://my.studiopress.com/themes/winning-agent/#demo-full

If you are going to move forward with building your site using Genesis, I'd say one of the advantages of working with a designer already familiar with it would be time. They would already be comfortable with the framework and manipulating it as needed for the project rather than needing extra time to learn the ins/outs of the platform.

Hi Heather,

To remove the underline on your links find this in your css file:

a {
color: #F96E5B;
}

and add this to it:

text-decoration: none;

The "Karmatrails DMC Tours & Excursion Specialists – Yucatan Express" is an h2 and can be changed in this section:

h2 {
font-size: 2.4rem;
}

I also noticed that on the About page Gravity forms is not displaying.

Hope this helps,

~Amy

To change the font color find this in your CSS (it's towards the top of the file):

body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
color: #777777;
font-family: ‘Lato’,sans-serif;
font-weight: 300;
line-height: 1.625;
}

and change this-- color: #777777

In this area you can also change the font weight and family.

I use a combo of the enews widget and MailChimp, but I would say the pairing of enews/mailpoet is similar. The two should work together without needing any other plugins or programs.

In my case, MailChimp gives a form code that has the info the enews widget needs. I just copy/pasted the needed pieces into the enews widget fields.

Hope this helps a little!

Hi,

You can make changes to these areas via your CSS:

To make changes to the main text font, find and edit this piece:

body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
color: #777777;
font-family: 'Lato',sans-serif;
font-weight: 300;
line-height: 1.625;
}
body > div {
font-size: 1.6rem;
}

To make changes to the background of the main text areas find and edit this piece:

.entry {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #ECECEC;
box-shadow: 0 1px #ECECEC;
margin-bottom: 4rem;
padding: 4rem;
}

One way to remove this area is to use the Genesis Simple Edits plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-simple-edits/) .

After installing and activating the plugin go to Genesis-->Simple Edits and delete content in the "Post Meta" field.

[amylynn]

Found this plug in that might help. Genesis Title Toggle: http://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-title-toggle/

[amylynn]

Can you provide a link to the site?

A little tweak to the CSS, and maybe the functions file, should work.
