    I think it’s somewhat confusing. When I opened this page I clicked the first visible element on ‘vote’ because I did not notice the ‘vote’ word above and was really convinced this set is a menu that will open/show competitive pages.

    I truly believe votes should be moved to the far bottom of the page.
    Very likely more people will do exactly as I did …and after I saw all entries – I’d prefer to vote for other site to be honest, not the Cater thing :( :(

    You know why the first site has the most votes?
    People are clicking on it thinking it will open the site for viewing (we don’t read). You should switch the layout so that the voting will be last on the page. Just a thought…

    I would love to see if each of the websites that made it into this showcase could “individually” provide a detailed explanation as to what they did in order to achieve these unique designs. What customizations (and to which file), what features (that are part of the EG Builder) and who they were used and set to achieve the effects we are seeing, etc. This (I’m sure) would be helpful to everyone. I actually like most every one of them. So .. right now, it’s hard to pick. *smile*

        Hi Michael,

        On the website you built did you just use the corporate theme or did you add CSS for the header?

        Thanks,
        Logan

    Nice sites everyone, I was wondering if you guys are gonna do a section where we can see all the other sites that did not make final cut.

    Would be nice to see them as I am sure there are other interesting designs out there.

    Good luck to all the finalists!

    In the Colegio Anchieta page, I am curious as to what widget they used to make the calendar they used on the “mural” page. Any one think they can help me out in identifying that?

      Hey Chris, I didn’t built that site but since nobody’s answered yet…based on the source markup I think it’s probably this https://web-dorado.com/products/wordpress-event-calendar-wd.html If you look at the demo there they look similar except Colegio’s implementation is much nicer looking. Hope that helps!
