Given the photoshop design from our web designer, I created the following websites that are the online presence for 5 regional magazines. I would really appreciate feedback, esp from from folks working on similar projects. I know that they are far from perfect but they've been well received and I'm pretty happy with how they came out. Feel free to ask any questions.

Very clean and nicely layed out. You might want to turn off error reporting to the screen, though...

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function file_scan_directory() in /home/wncmagaz/public_html/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/backup_migrate.module on line 122"

I have error reporting set to log only so this is a bit alarming

It was at the bottom of the page. Looks like it's gone, now.

Your layout is very nice and clean, but maybe when you click on the navigation you can use a different color for every subject. Like when you rollover over the navigation you already see, that it changes color.. I hope you understand what I mean.. ;)

Hi ipswitch,

I like you design it is clean and friendly.

I am thinking of setting up something similar. How did you get the three columns?

Zen is well documented, so designing the site for 1,2, or 3 column layout is pretty straightforward.
pretty much everything zen can be found here - http://drupal.org/node/193318

Nice layouts and colors, they are easy to read.

I like how the advertising is laid out also it is noticeable but not in your face trashy looking.

I think you have designed an awesome magazine site. The theme you have developed looks sophisticated and calm. I really like the menu and the use of dotted lines for charlestonmag.com. Did you use nice menu and some custom css for your menu? I am developing a magazine site and trying to get this same kind of look. Well Done!
