  1. The way the page is set up seemed to favor the hoverpage style. For example, the Residential page would take you to a generic page with that crazy hovernavbar but the Residential projects we do has far too much information to contain on one page. For example, under Residential we would have Remodels, Additions, Historic Preservation, Standard Plans, etc...each of those subsections would contain images and projects we've worked on. I do agree it seems a little over the top.

     

    The thing is, if your visitor wants to open a page and stay there so they can read and come back to it without having to keep their mouse over the nav item, they may get frustrated. I think it would be far better to have each link open a new page within the site so people can come and go as they please.

     

    For example, http://www.iconeden.com/contact/about . You don't have to keep your mouse over the links to view the content.

  2. I'll take a look at this soon (just returned from picking up my kids from school), but I'm just curious.... For the side menu, would you be interested in something like this? http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/vertical08.htm'>http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/vertical08.htm There are several samples on that site: http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/ .

     

    The reason I ask is that the menu you linked seems to be a bit more than needed. I think it would be better to have people click a link and be taken to a new page in your site. Just my opinion. :)

  3. Write and Manage are from the older versions of WordPress. To create a new page, just go to Pages > Add New. Name it whatever you want the page to be called where your form will be. And yes, step 6 is basically telling you to create a regular page.

     

    Let's say you name your new page "contact". The URL you'll need to add in step 7 is yoursite.com/contact.

     

    For step 8, just go to Pages > Edit > and then click on the name of the page where you're putting your contact form.

  4. Okay, I just installed this plugin on my website and it's working fine. You had linked to this page: http://green-beast.com/gbcf-v3/ . If you are trying to install that one, it won't work because it's not the WordPress version. What you actually need for WordPress is this one: http://green-beast.com/blog/?page_id=136 .

     

    Give that a try and if it doesn't work, let me know. I can help you with it.

  5. What's the link for your request on their forums? Looks like you can get support from the author here: http://green-beast.com/blog/?p=346 .

     

    If needed, are you open to using a different contact form plugin? I can recommend some good ones.

     

    Edit to add: I saw this on the author's support page:

     

    Support Update: Header not recognized with the WordPress version 2.0WP plugin? Did you unzip the zip file first? If not, do that then upload the wp-gbcf folder into your plugins directory.

  6. The fact that you list 3ix as your host but the whois info is showing hostcare and/or hostdime is a red flag to me. Is 3ix a reseller? Personally, I would consider switching hosts - especially since the page that google linked is still there after claims of it being fixed. Hmmmm....
