Uploaded to Extend here:
http://get-simple.info/extend/theme/beadysite/582/
A clean simple theme, easy to unpick and alter. Looked to me friendly and accessible. Design by http://www.sitebee.co.uk/
The div above the main content - use it for images, slideshow, statement of purpose, News extracts, whatever, or just delete it.

When I came to look more closely it wasn't so easy to unpick and alter. V2.0 is though.
I removed a load of redundant code from the css
I reduced the width of the page to something more sensible.
I made all the text sizes relative
Put in the Google shiv link
I made the logo text (was an image of text) with a google font
I replaced the image based rulers with css borders
I made three alternative page templates without the sidebar, without the subheader div and without either.
It works pretty well now

Hi Tim,
Looks like you did a great job at converting the theme for the Easy CMS platform. The un-used css was left over from the theme I ported the template from, on my old web host (stonerocket.net) you`lle see the code similarities.
Again great job. I have about a dozen other templates I made, some published some not, I may even have a go a creating a unique theme for Easy CMS myself, when I get some free time.

SiteBee,
although this CMS here is GetSimple and not Easy CMS, I give it a try ;=)
I will see if my client likes it, for me it looks good... will come back if I need support,
Cheers, Connie

Whoops, my bad! Was meant to say GetSimple
It`s a popular template, I`ve seen it used on quite a few websites, most using the default design and some tweaking to suit their own style.

Nice theme but i think the menu bar should be within header as horizontally above the Picture and extend the picture with so it is fix to the body completely. Also use image slider for image rotate.

Hi Tim,
I'm a newbie here and trying to get this theme responsive without redundant code.
I just saw that u did a great job already
Is it possible to post your new code somewhere, or can I find it online?
Grtz,
Steven

I don't understand. The original template is

My adapted version for GetSimple is
http://get-simple.info/extend/theme/beadysite/582/ or
http://get-simple.info/extend/export/3394/582/beadysite.zip
the author of the original is sometimes around here.

Upload it when you have it working. Are you using a grid? bootstrap? or writing the mobile css yourself?
Iirc the only bit you might find confusing is that Chris nested the menu as an <ul> in an <ul> to select it. I had never seen that before

I`ll update the template to make it responsive. Might be a few days though as im very busy currently. I`ll message you Tim when i`ve done it.

Dear Timbow I have a question.
Your templates look all the same.
Which part is different? nosidebar.php mainonly.php...and so on.
However your php file works perfectly.

The original design had a header, a vertical menu on the left, then three content blocks. I think there were different templates for a) sidebar but no sub-header b) sub-header but no sidebar c) no sub-header no sidebar main only .
The IDs were confusing.

You are using inline style! I didn't notice that.
Some editor (dreamweaver or something) can compare and find the difference.
I learned a lot. You can do!

I have no idea why I would have done it like that. But clearly I did.
