I have been breezing around the forums and liked the section where users could share their sites and get feedback. It took me a second to realize that trial users could only post in this section.
I think I did a lot of things the hard way, but all the pictures and everything are my own. It has less links out than I planned and I think I have to still work on the sitemap location. Please tell me what you think.

I don't know why there isn't a 'What did you make' forum in here, but my guess would be that we might risk having too much spam and posts unrelated to CC programmes.
Ha en riktig god dag!

Nicely done site Brian. I would agree with Inger here also. We get a good handful of spammers here as it is that just want to try advertising their businesses and haven't any clue what CoffeeCup is let alone use their software, so I'm sure that's why we don't have a thread for that.
My sites are in my Signature, and my newest one is below here that I just completed. Still tweaking a few things here and there, and of course the form for quotes will be a lot better when I finish it with the new HTML Form Builder that CC is currently working on. But so far we're pretty pleased with it.

That site is created using CoffeeCup's HTML Editor, Photo Gallery, Form Builder Classic, Web Image Studio, Website Color Schemer, and outside of CC software we used Artisteer theme builder which is an amazing tool also. Not cheap but it's very nice to work with. We also used Visual Light Box which works pretty slick for our purposes too I think.
Hopefully that helps to tell you the main programs people might use from CoffeeCup. I use a lot of them for sure. I don't use Visual Site Designer at all, but many people do here and your site looks pretty nice to me.
Happy Thanksgiving

I don't claim to be any good at this lark, but I made this with VSD
http://www.flintanddenbighrc.com it has a simple cms type thing on most pages, which enables each committee member to update their own page (which is why it has a simple white background), plus a booking calendar, and lots of form builder forms. It works brilliantly.

One nice aspect of Artisteer is that you can export the theme as html pages and as a WordPress theme. This allows you to create a site with a consistent theme across your pages, shopping cart, and forum. You don't need the standard version for that, the home edition will work just fine and is much cheaper.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!
This is true Tom, unfortunately we do sites in Joomla and Drupal as well, so we did opt for the Standard version and decided to just updated it every couple years or so as needed. Still waiting for the update that incorporates HTML5 and CSS3 so we'll be waiting to update till that happens
I hear you. But you can't beat the simplicity of WordPress for clients who update the core files and edit the site content on their own. Joomla and Drupal make things a bit more complicated for people that just don't want to learn the process.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!
Yep agreed there, wordpress truly does have one of the easiest setups and some of the best interactive features. Although some of the other CMS systems do have good interaction, it's not always the easiest stuff to setup. I haven't setup a Joomla since they updated to include more account settings and group settings, I'll have to do that soon and see what's all changed. Haven't had a need to for a while, but maybe I'll have to go do that just to play around a bit.
Joomla is powerful but bloated. The average person would get frustrated with Drupal. It's fine for developers but not someone not interested in web design who just wants to update a page. WordPress is easy with tons of plug-ins, themes, and friendly support. It's #1 for a reason.

Yeah I found Drupal to be a pain in the arse myself. I had to use it for a company that had their site already created in Drupal and wanted someone to take over the site. I learned it on the fly, which I wouldn't recommend to anyone as it's extreme stupid in it's setup. The only thing I really liked about it was that it had awesome group settings and permissions setups compared to Joomla which I was using at the time for my personal site. But I think if Joomla has all those capabilities now (which I should hope they do after all this time and Drupal being ahead of the game on that stuff) then Drupal will most likely be lost in the side lines since it's so ridiculously difficult to setup and use for the average user as you said.
Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
