Thanks for your suggestion! Ill look into it. I like the Regularlabs plugins - I use the modal plugin frequently.
So far I have some very good results in development with Nicepage & Joomla. It just works a bit differently than the Themlers of the past and I must admit, it has taken a bit of getting used to. The "Template" in Nicepage really only consists of the header and footer sections. As long as you don't install the Nicepage menus things work great, especially if you already have the categories and menus figured out. I think Nicepage sometimes tries to do too much and overlaps what the CMS's do.
So using Nicepage as a page designer for the Homepage works pretty well because the home page is almost always a bit different from the rest of the site. You can place Joomla modules anywhere you want on the home page. I use SEBLOD for my content types, Forms and Lists and can place these modules in any other page. For the rest of the site, you can either create a new page, or use the blog template.
While I would agree that there are still some shortcomings with Nicepage in the Joomla world, you can also do some pretty cool things. Overall the Nicepage team seems aggressive with new releases and constant development. It sure would be nice if there was a way to do fixed blocks! I have several places I need them. They would be very similar to the scroll to top option that isn't available yet - Another feature Im looking forward to...
anyway thanks!
