The skin and the coding which provides all the features, the articles, the challenge areas, the badges, etc. I'm also adding a store and a few other things that have more money tied up with the SSL. Cost estimate for all: 5K The customization has two parts.

Too many ads too imho, especially for a new site. But again, those are all just subjective observations. Having said that, the forum customization and graphics are totally awesome. Very Austin Powers! ;) Any chance we could get a ballpark figure on the cost of the customization? Ever very wide ballpark?

It looks great! Whatever it cost you... it was worth it! Yea, as I thought about it more I figured it was just a custome forumhome template. It looks great!

Whatever it cost you… it was worth it!

I had a desire to take the normal vb forum home page and alter the way it looks, including the graphics. Its still built first via the forum manager in the admincp, but the page was customized....and its not even finished yet. ;) There is a special tweak to come.... Its expensive. Its not your normal 75.00 skin. Nicholas has been working on it since November. And to make it all function behind the pretty graphics is the awesome code work of Logician. I appreciate the encouragement. I'm very pleased with it. The overall tone/theme is from my 26 year old, hip as can be, daughter who co-admins with me. She wanted vintage/70's groovy and I think Nicholas did a great job of giving that to us...along with the curvy lines. The colors make my heart sing too. ;) Nathan, while we use VB, even the forum index page is customized based on my design.

Who does your graphics and how much did it cost to do them? Also, what hack gives you the ability to have a forum homepage with those topics like you have. Not the site homepage but this one:http://www.girlsgetgoing.com/forumindex.php I’m not sure what to say other than WOW either.

But I wouldn't embed the voice make it clickable. We have people do voiceovers for other projects in my business. Check http://www.group-net.org/typ/ Check the right side of most pages.

HUGE kudos! The colors, accents, layout, curves...mama mia so nice. Great job!
