Yakima Business Directory : Yakima, WA (Vantage Theme)

Almost finished... using Vantage Theme.. which I might add ROCKS!!!

Please visit :: http://yakimabusiness.com

I am finishing off a few inside pages and trying to have the listing images on the front page be a thumbnail of the website.. other than that.. That's it, That's All folks.!!

Your site looks great. Color me impressed.
Did you use the .PSD or just modify the existing site using CSS? Perhaps you could give me some pointers as I'm colorblind.

Regards,
Ian

Here is one I have completed 100% using Vantage..

http://www.EdmontonBiz.com for the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Next project is with CafePress for www.MetroplexAutos.com - a Auto Classifieds website for the Dallas - Ft. Worth Metroplex - TEXAS, USA!! HooRah!!

Did you populate the first 2 pages yourself ? Or how did you get visitors to your site?

I'm struggling with ideas to gain viewers.

Yes I did add the listings in EdmontonBiz.com, as far as visitors.. they are just coming.. The domain is a popular northern capital of one of the richest provinces in Canada.. OIL Money and The Oilers, and Wayne Gretzky played for them between 1979 and 1988.

So the domains www.EdmontonBiz.com and www.ILoveEdmonton.com bring it own traffic..

Hi gspinney,
Looks great! I have been to Yakima - you might consider have a wineries category on the header navigation to generate even more traffic.

Like the layout of your site. Trying to use yours as a guide for mine. Couple of questions for you.

Where did you get the weather widget at?

How do you control the listings that appear on the homepage? Not the featured listings, but the ones below that? Can you control the number of them that appear or shut them off all together and just have featured listings appear?

Where did you get your newsfeed for your local news page?

Thank you

John

Aaaagh! The weather and News...

Well, both are made with iframe and pulled from an independent page into the design..

First off, the NEWS uses CaRP Evolution.. they have a widget, but it does not work very very so I just created it at root level and created www.edmontonbiz.com/news.php then used an iframe.

The WEATHER, again. I used an iframe to bring this into the design. I created an account at Wunderground, and purchased the Full Page weather script from WeBAT.

The weather on the front of the page is a widget from Wunderground as well. (you still need a Wunderground key)

Lastly, controlling the listings is done from inside your WP-Admin // Appearance >> Themes >> Customize >> Listings

Thanks Charles, that's a great idea.. Appreciate the feed back.

Thanks for the information. Your site looks really good
