Hi there,

I recently made some edits to JA Mixmaz to create a totally black website see at http://www.vallartarealty.com

Now I have the problem that search engines, SEO software, colour checkers etc are showing that the background has the same colour as the text. Even though to humans it’s white text on black.

This means the site has 0 chance of ranking as google will presume I am tricking them.

How can I change this so that I do not have the same background and text colour in the CSS of my template?

Please could you tell me which bits I need to edit?

Thanks in advance, anyone that helps

Though I am not 100% certain, I am wondering if it might have something to do with a possible conflict with the following CSS . . .

File Path –> /templates/ja_mixmaz/css/template.css

Line 22

body#bd {
background: url("../images/pattern-d.gif") repeat scroll left top #141414
color: #333333
line-height: 1.7;
}

and

File Path –> /plugins/system/jat3/jat3/base-themes/default/css/template.css

Line 21

body#bd { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF
color: #000000
font-size: 12px;
}

It seems like there are conflicting properties between – and within – those two CSS rule … especially the second one, which seems to define a WHITE background color and BLACK text color – yet such is not what is displayed on the page.
