I have recently purchased RW for personal use, and need help/advice on what additional themes/addons I would need to purchase to produce a site along the lines of www.anitpatel.com.
This is my website that I created using iWeb, and still maintain using iWeb. It was fairly simple to create using iWeb that I use to share pics with friends/family.
I’m struggling to understand what I need to purchase to recreate something similar using RW. It’s the replicating the album pages that contain multiple albums, where each album contains many images that I am having difficulty with:
Can this be done using just the standard RW themes?
If not, which themes/addons would you recommend
The RW created site does not have to replicate all the features of the iWeb created one, but I do like the ‘My Albums’ approach, but I’m willing to look at other alternatives if you can point me to good examples.
You should be able to replicate your site using RW’s built-ins.
You’ll have to “rethink” your albums listings - the links you have are just menu options that point to a page that points to the albums themselves. Using your own preview image, you could then set up the appropriate image/text links on the page just as the albums are currently laid out.
A little CSS and you’ll be able to style your preview image just like those as well.
You might consider having a single page, which is your menu entry, that lists albums (probably from newest to oldest). The remaining pages would not be shown in the menu - that’s a lot of menu items otherwise. So, your menu would be Welcome, Albums, About.
