Seniors Climate Action Network website

Post by IvanMJ »

I am the researcher and website developer for Seniors Climate Action Network (SCAN):

https://www.seniorsclimateactionnetwork.org

Our website is content intensive and I developed the website from scratch (no template was used) because there were no templates available in 2021 which could accommodate the extent and requirements of our website. Our website is not full width (restricted to 970 pixels wide) because I do not have expertise in website development and we needed to get our website up and running as soon as possible. Our website is functional and provides a resource for hundreds of visitors each month and many stay on our website for over one hour.

Our website could do with a graphic revamp - a full width website with greater visual appeal while retaining the same functionality and content.

With some considerable effort which takes me away from my own expertise, I could learn how to make full use of the many features of WYSIWYG Web Builder. What I ideally need is a ready made full width template which can provide the same menu structure which I can modify.

Feedback welcome.

Kind regards, Ivan.

The site is overall fine although could increase the font size a bit. And most importantly you could use responsive grids to do the same design instead of using absolute layers with breakpoints.

Absolute layers are not recommended because responsive grids have better responsive layout for any and all devices compared to absolute layers which needs extra adjustments.

Hi wwonderful,

Thank you for your feedback. Much appreciated.

I have purchased a template which does as you recommend from Wixily to gain a few ideas on how to create my own template. Our website currently uses the latest version 18 of WYSIWYG Web Builder. I purchased Version 19 as soon as it became available, but the conversion of project files from Version 18 to 19 wasn't 100% perfect and, at the time, it would have been too time consuming to make manual corrections. Version 20 has been a delight to use with its conversion of project files from Version 18 to 20. I also love the new project Wizard and additional graphic features.

Feedback from others is still welcome.

KInd regards, Ivan

Just a cautionary warning you should note you will not be able to open the template from wixily as it is not compatible with WWB. By this you should note that WWB is not a HTML Editor but a HTML Generator so any HTML can only be seen once published. Also if you then try to import the template only the text and images will be brought in nothing else such as scripts etc which could then mean the template will show as corrupted and not display correctly.

For clarification, aren't the templates sold by Wixily created for WWB?

Maybe @baconfries was saying if you were to import template or html from WIX.COM which is the reason he said
Also if you then try to import the template only the text and images will be brought in nothing else such as scripts etc which could then mean the template will show as corrupted and not display correctly.
but wixily who are registered in our forum does make wwb compatible templates. the advice @baconfries gave is correct in terms of if you were to import pages for WIX.COM templates.

wix and wixily Sounds similar so maybe it got a bit tangled up. I hope you understood :)

It's ok @baconfries we all have been there. Nothing to be shy about. Even I make those mistakes too :)

Nice website but just as suggested I will equally recommend using responsive grid. You can contact me if you need any assistance in that regard.
