Just finished this website for a local café:

http://www.cafelichtenberg.de

Thanks to JA, they’ve done a great job on the Sargas theme!

VERY nice . . . .

My only bit of constructive criticism would be that the Home Page kid of loses some impact without a logo at the top. I see it there in the center position, but I think it would look really nice against that cool background image you created.

But again, VERY nice job.

TOM,
Thanks for looking and thanks for giving feedback.
You’re right that the logo would be placed more prominently in the top left corner but to my eyes it seems to be a bit flimsy in front of the vivid background – see the attached mockup.
Any ideas?
Gregor

Hey Greg.. may i ask how you managed to insert an image to the top left and change the color of the repeated image on the top right?

Sehr sehr schöne Seite mit einer klaren Linie. Die beiden Flughafenbilder stechen ein wenig heraus auf der Startseite 🙂 aber dafür ist es ein Fotowettbewerb.
Das einzige was mir fehlt ist die Assoziation vom Headerimage zum Cafe :-), aber passt trotzdem.

Looks nicely … just wondering “Lieber Gast, geehrter Freund!” … Is it only for men?

slukehart,
are you speaking of the header image(s)? This is done in the same way as the original Sargas header is. The repeated image on the top right just repeats the last slice (1 pixel with) of the top left background image – ad infinitum.

blackmerlin,
ok, man mag ein Kaffeböhnchen o.ä. vermissen. Das Bild im Header zeigt ein Detail der Kronleuchter (siehe “Atmosphäre”), die sehr prägend für das Café sind.

bluecafe,
though Cologne, where the cafe is located, is said to be the capital of the german gay community, the cafe in question is not men-only.
“Freund” adresses to both, men and women in this context. German can be very strange.

I am German and as a female I don’t feel addressed by “geehrter Freund”, it rather reminds me of an old Herrencafé :laugh:. But I like the template … it wouldn’t invite me to visit the café though 😎

bluecafe,
I’m sorry if you feel annoyed by this phrasing, it’s not intended to exclude women. I’ll think about that.
