Hey folks - I just released a new drupal site for di Stefano Landscaping. It is not a terribly complex site, but I needed the ability for the owner to be able to add content, and post news, specials, etc.

There are still a few updates I will make in the future, particularly integrating Views and CCK once they have official releases for 6.x. I took of advantage of the built in jQuery support and integrated Gian Carlo Mingati's slideViewer 1.1

I would appreciate if you could take a look and let me know what you think, and whether you notice any bugs.

Thanks in advance!

the link to your site isn't actually working...oh...wait...no...it's just not there ;)

btw, i'm using cck on a d6 install and haven't had an issue yet (knock on wood, it's probably blowing up right now as i type)

you may want to add a small bit of text way down bottom like 'copyright...' and also note location '...of Burlington VT' -

at any rate, in safari3 on a mac i noticed that in 'services' when i got to pictures 5 and 6, the stopped in the middle - so i could see half of each - then i reloaded, and it happened for only 6 (showed half of 5 and half of 6) - that's also a heavy script...

the site looks great though! nice work. have you considered using 'larger thumbnails' in one box, maybe lightbox for huge popups of each?

Thanks for the ideas. I think added a copyright notice is a good idea, and though we mention "serving central Vermont" on the home page, maybe that would be good to have on all pages.

I am fairly new to playing with Javascript: what exactly do you mean by "that's also a heavy script..."? Does it feel sluggish on your machine? It seems really snappy to me, but I have only tested on dual-core machines at home and work, so I think my perspective might be skewed.

i'm not sure where the majority of customers are, but cable penetration is still not 100 percent - some people are on dsl or sluggish cable and broadband, others are on fios - that script is loading fresh in each page, seems like a little wait, similar to the flash-is-loading on many media sites...but it's not a media site or mtv.com, it's a landscaping site, so seems like utility and simplicity and speed and uniform accessibility should be paramount, but that's just my opinion...
