Tomorrow long gone...... In the interests of positive public relations Gavick should have released screen shots to customers and potential customers so that they could plan projects. It is never good to spend a year being late with everything.... that is saying something will happen on a day and then not meeting that commitment. The Gavick brand is suffering. ..

What a disappointment... MyFolio is another drudge like Cherry Design... It looks like a few hours were spent modifying Cherry Design . Not sure how this could be used for anything that Cherry Design could not do... not worth the wait.

Honestly i think this is an excellent work (but i'm a suspect, right :whistle: )
In fact, i'm thinking of using it for my personal homepage.

It's clean, elegant, professional design, perfect for presentation of photographic or design work, blog or other professional presentation.

It's been 3 years that i work with Robert, watching, following the develop of work from "ground zero" to final design and i learn from him that not always the beauty is in first look.

Anyway, we can't always please everyone.

About gaming, sports themes - it's probably not very far so we can offer more options in future projects.
It's up to Robert but be sure that he is always listen to you guys ;)

I got to agree with some of the other comments here . . . I rather expected a little 'more' from Gavick with this latest template.

I know you can't please everyone all the time, but this one looks like it was knocked together over breakfast one morning, similar to all the other cheap crappy templates that sites churn out.

Couple this with some shockingly poor support and help we probably won't be renewing when our subscription runs out. Disappointing.

Um... The problem I have here is that I could have done this. Sorry, But I could recreate this exact template in a day with one of the existing Gavick templates. Nothing at all stands out here.

Sorry, I do hate to complain, but the reason I subscribe is all in the details. I don't see any details here. I don't see the Gavick touch we're used to, the touches I pay for, and the touches that I always see being requested in the request board. I really hope no one takes this personally, I get the concept, and the minimalist approach. But it's a huge step back from previous templates. It really is Cherry Design all over again.

A few technical criticism...
1. The position: 100px from the top... that seems excessive. If this is a portfolio template with a minimalist approach, then the front page should not start 100px down. Everything should be neatly framed on load up.

2. Why no third party extensions (other than K2)?
If this is a photo portfolio, why no Phoca or Flickr extensions? Again, details.

3. Why such limited style range? There are 8 variations by my count, but each one is SLIGHT, hardly even noticeable.

On the bright side it's 1.6 native with K2. I can work with it.

I'm sorry to say that this project is really poor without any creative details...TOOOOOOOOOO BASIC...In addition looks really bad using iphone with the main menu exploded to the right of the page. Seems that you guys never resolved this problem with your framework because your template (in defaulf mode) looks bad using iphone.

Thanks

I am sorry to say that, but i am also dissapointed... the problem is not in the minimal vision - thats fine, the problem is in the lack of character here. Every creative would like to have some catchy and nice details in his blog/portfolio, not only a basic plain wall to put yor stuff on. On the end this shows to your customers who you are. Especially the front page - it looks really empty. May be a nice slideshow can help?
Why not include Jomsocial here? Or a nice gallery component - as someone suggested already? That would make a difference...
I always needed a good portfolio template, but this one is not the there :(

Very poor show. Hurried (i suspect reading between the lines this template has been put together in about 5 days max, the Gavick team couldn't even tell their subscribers what type of template it was 6 days ago), late (no surprise there), lacking quality, design, thought, imagination and, as ever, very poor communications. Until now the only regard i've held with Gavick is the quality of their templates… oh dear!

At first glance I was very disappointed and agreed with many of the comments so far and almost decided not to renew my subscription on the 20th.

However, after a little thought, the template might actually be perfect for something that I have in mind, especially as I note that Robert said:

Robert Gavick wrote:..............
More details, more colors you can expect tomorrow.......


...... so I assume that a little more detail in the overall design and layout is forthcoming, before it is made available for download and general release.


For the sake of discussion, a frontend template is just a template, not a finished website. I know that a lot of people want the convenience of an almost reasy-to-use website when they use one of the these templates, but for myself I am more interested in the features.

At the end of the day, the frontend visuals can be changed quite easily in the CSS and template scripts/files. I guess most people want to be able to download a template that works out of the box just the way they want it to, without having to dig around in the template files and change things. But the reality is that a template is the developers representation of what the backend does.

From the sort of questions that I see in the template support forums here, quite a few people who use these templates even have problems with basic CSS (e.g. positioning or aligning the logo somewhere different).

Perhaps if users learnt a little more coding and CSS they could make better use of the templates, and not look at the visual aspect as 'finished' website, but look at it and see what the potential is?

I disagree. I think the models should be presented with the best presentation possible. That does not stop us from doing customizations ...

Eu discordo. Acho que os modelos devem ser apresentados com a melhor apresentação possível. E isso não nos impede de fazer personalizações...

Very disappointed> I never mind waiting 1 and sometimes 2 months later for the templates ( that are always late) because usually the work make up for the delay but this time this is not the case.

I guess Gavick is victim of their own success because this template is not to the standards that we have come to expect from the best* joomla template club out there.


I hope you guys make up for that next month cheers



* best for quality but not timing.

Come now - Whats new. very sad, waited all this time - to see the latest. Its time to pick it up maybe not concentrate so much on integrating the template into k2.

Gavick are Great template developers but lately I see you improving other companies infrastructure.

Take a look at yootheme, zoo widgets components and there tools.

I have always liked your templates and modules but lately the direction is not great - Game on September template, I know will be on time and maybe the inclusion of a new module.
