Please critique this layout

Post by Leedsoft Solutions »

Attached are a few screen shots of a layout that I plan on using for a CMS that I am developing. This layout is a pretty simple one that contains an area on the top for a site logo and/or ad banners, a column on the left for various modules (such as areas, users, search, etc.), a column that spans most of the page for the main content, and an area at the bottom for extra links, copyright info, and whatever else. Please let me know what you think of it. Thank you for your input!

Aparently, this forum does not have an image attachment function, so please follow the links below.

Looks ok, but if your developing a cms you should think about including a template system so that any design can be used with it.

Yup that's how it's being done! But that'll be the default layout.

Looks great, it's nice and user-friendly by the looks of things.
