Please share your Wild Apricot websites with cool design or features

Reply Quote

I would love to see more examples of what people have done with their pages. It is stoo hard to comb through the posts to find those who have given their websites to you guys. Seeing examples really helps me get ideas and it also shows the capability of the system. It would be nice if you created a section in the forum for people to showcase their websites.

Thanks!

Hi Dani,

Good point, I will discuss with my team what we can do about this. Maybe we can post on our newspage something like cool site of the week.

For current Wild Apricot clients - if you want to show off cool design or features of your site, feel free to post comments here - this will also give you a bit of Google SEO juice as our website ranks quite well.

OOOhhh I like that! I will have to go inspect the code and see how they did that.

I also like the other one how they integrated a job posting. I wonder what they used, it looks nice.

See this is useful to me. I think this will be really helpful for everyone. Although probably a pain the the butt for the apricot team as now you will get a billion question on how to do something!

Although now I feel like mine isn't good enough! Ours isn't done yet but its getting there. It helps that there are lots of pretty pictures so I don't have to go overboard with the design. http://www.bosshawaii.onefireplace.org

I really like the navigation on the craftworks. HEY, how did they get their blog summary to have images? I didn't know that was possible unless that isn't the gadget but something custom?

Dani808,

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have with regards to the DFWIMA.org implementation. My company did the development of their site. You can contact me at steve.durman [at] fourmanfurnace [dot] com

I think I responded to an earlier email you sent via the DFWIMA.com "contact us" form.

Thanks!

These other examples look great!

The ARRC has recently upgraded to a fully functional flash enabled site. You can visit our page Here. At this time, you must have flash enabled to view the site. We are currently working on switching over to JQuery and the few HTML5 features currently available to keep our page up-to-date with the current online tech and also more accessible to those who don't use flash.
