In praise of traditional themes

Sure. I’ll give some detail: The first is an e-commerce ‘taster’ for a wine company https://manorwines.co.uk whose core business supplying restaurants and trade collapsed during Covid. They wanted a quick way to start selling online locally to non-trade customers, so we got this starter site up to sell just a selection of mixed cases.

The site has a mixture of F6 and non Foundation stacks. For example, where I wanted to change the colour of a few words in a paragraph, I used a BWD Paragraph Pro stack rather than the F6 text stack - simply because it was quicker and easier than adding span tags in Markdown, and also creating links is easier. I also used Doobox ‘Swell’ stack for some image zooming. Finally, I used BWD Sidebar stack to keep the image of the owner and intro text aligned at all screen sizes. I will however, use all F6 stacks for this type of thing in future to keep things faster and leaner. The e-commerce is Paysnap.

Second site is not finished - awaiting some photographs and final layout: https://kikkdevelopment.co.uk/jody. The Navigation is a good example of where the extra flexibility comes in very useful. On desktops, I wanted a reasonably large logo to the left with both nav bar and a text space above to the right - rather than the more usual logo in nav bar with full width text above. F6 flexible menus allowed this to be built and morph into something different on mobiles as required. Also uses Joe Workmans impact stack for banner. And, although just placeholders at present, I used Shaking the Habitual’s Parallaxer stack for on-page images.

Hope this helps
