Looking for an opinion

I designed a web site based on bootstrap 3, using Adobe Creative Cloud Dreamweaver for a client of mine (also friend so it is a freebie, well he bought me lunch... I guess that's okay), bottom line it has been an education for me.

Anyway, when I finished it, he then wanted to be able to edit the site... I thought "for !@#$ sake what more do you want for free?!

So I took the challenge, tried some PHP trickery which kind of worked but just didn't cut it. So I checked his server and lo and behold Concrete5 (5.7) was available to install via cPanel.

Ok sounds good I thought... let's give it a go. Seemed easy enough to port my static bootstrap design to C5, and here is a prototype that has editable fields in text only areas. I am not letting my client upload images at this time, and the modal pop-ups are not editable, not sure how I can factor the modals in for editing in C5. Bottom line site works in C5.

http://beta.straightastudios.com... <--C5 site
http://www.straightastudios.com... <--Non C5 site

Navbar is updated on the beta bypassing bootstraps nav system and usinghttp://responsive-nav.com code instead which I found much cleaner and simpler yet does same deal.

Comments welcome.

Cheers mate...

Now my client/friend wants a wedding album with flipping pages. I swear if it wasn't for the passion of doing this kind of work... well at least I get to learn things.

I found a demo for books stores athttp://tympanus.net/codrops/2014/01/14/look-inside-book-preview-wit... a very good site to get ideas.

So I am reverse engineering it athttp://weddingalbum.straightastudios.com... nothing much done yet other than stripping out unwanted code. I have to simulate an 14 x 11 (inch) book.

Stay tuned...
