Shop Renfrew County .com - A Local Business Directory, Ottawa Valley, Ontario Canada
The Shop Renfrew County website is up and running. Still have a few minor tweaks to complete, but on the whole, things are 'lookin' good.'

Renfrew County Business Directory

The site is using Classipress as a business directory. There were a lot of small modifications that needed to be made. Without a doubt, the mods and members of the support forum were there 'all the way' with helpful solutions to my numerous (ie., bazillion) questions.

I am impressed with this theme. The mods and members support is tops ad the site is getting an excellent response from advertisers.

There are endless opportunities with this theme for both the online and offline market!

Thanks Appthemes! I'm a happy camper!

Default theme but nice. The first Classipress site that I have seen to use SSL.

Please help our moderating team work more efficiently by not sending us support questions via PM. You can read more about how AppThemes support works here. However, you can send a PM to follow up and remind me if I missed your support request/thread.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Nice! Did you populate the site with data? Who's your data provider?

Manilaboy: The site is populated with paying customers. The ads (business listings) were all imported from a previous wordpress theme. I'm not sure what you mean by data provider? All the information in each ad is from the business owners themselves. The ads in the sidebar are from youtube.

Jomarkosabel: The default theme is nice! Just what the customers wanted.

However, if I had my druthers, and if I knew how to do it, I would definitely change the header section - and not just by adding a logo or image, as many sites seem to do.

I find the thick red and black bar (or any of the other color combos) too overpowering and outdated looking. I would prefer a smaller, white headspace with room for a small logo above the red (or any other color) topline. I'd also like tabs for the pages and categories, and the login info included in the topbar. I'd also like the background color to be white or at least whiter. The soft look of the background in the default theme is nice, but my preference is for lots of white space on a website. However, for now, the default theme looks just fine!

Nice Website. I was wondering how did you add those YT videos on the sidebar.

Have you had any feed back from customers regarding the "This field is required" error?

Hi Lorelei,

There are data providers where you can populate your directory with basic business or merchant information. Then the business listed can claim the listing. I asked because I thought it's a brand new site. I was not aware that those data came from another WP site.

Did you use a plugin for the videos on the sidebar?

igorsandi: The youtube videos codes are embedded in text widgets on the sidebar. I change the youtube sizes in the code to a width=300 and a height of about 260 - depending on how the video looks on the main page. You have to change two sets of numbers in the youtube embed code - one at the top and the other at the bottoms.

cloudybright: Where are you seeing the 'This field is required' error? So far everything seems to work okay in firefox, safari and camino. Haven't checked in IE.

mr_green:

I'm not sure what you mean by this? The ad packages aren't complete yet, so just some various advertising options have been posted. The sidebar ads on the main page will be most expensive.

I will check in to the coding correction that you posted. It may take me a day or two.

I LOVE the header on your site. I tried adding a logo and making some changes on the header, but other tasks needed my attention, so I will try some more options later.

Thanks everyone for your input. I really appreciate it.

"This field is required" is a known error.
We think it originates somewhere in the jquery.validate.js file.
It was discussed throughly here: This field is required

Its just a stray error message that happens when the "Allow html" field is allowed.
