Balam Jungle Estates @ www.balamjungle.com is a small, simple Drupal site that I made for a friend. Features some custom image module additions and Interface Elements integration.

Their mission, which remains constant, is to reveal the massive potential and inspire the positive sustainable development of the Balam Jungle Estates in Belize.

Would love to hear any comments or suggestions.

I haven't extensively visited or tested the site, but from initial impression I would say good job. Very clean, minimum content in places, ample white space, and eye catching images.

Congratulations! And Good job!

If I'm to get picky I'm not a huge fan of the right sidebar navigation. Something about it just doesn't follow the flow of the rest of the site, though its not bad in any regard and is attractive. I think even a simple color shift to a light gray could even make it feel more at home without any additional alterations. The image galleries do not allow for simple next and previous without expanding light box, closing, opening next image, rinse and repeat. Presently your lightbox is displaying text NULL on all images, at least in the Aerial gallery. You might look at some of the jQuery carousal galleries or some other way to implement quick large image viewing with minimum user action.

Well don't let those things discourage you, its a great looking site. Keep up the great work!

Cheers,

I don't understand so much what are the exatct items that you trying to sell

who is the market?

Think about a person coming to the website and want to understand what you items are for sell online

anyway you did really good job!

Hey guys,
Thanks for the comments!

mpare, I am working on getting those last little bugs worked out on the gallery - they have been noted ;)

djhost, I agree with you - alas I am only the designer and not the copy writer ;)

Cheers,
Ross
