Have changed footer to a different colour - balances well.
Have removed all underlines on headings on all pages. - super.
Have changed navigation menu on footer to text with | separator. - works well.
Have moved social media icons to footer. - cleaner.
Have balanced left and right margins on all pages. - as I don't now notice, it is right.
I can't get the 3 small pics on the home page to pop-up without the frame using soft-group. Any advise would be good! - Add the Pop-up photo option to the image alone then soft-group.
Have changed bubble on home page to a rectangle, the colour should be blue but changes to grey every time I save it for some reason. Can't help with that one. The cascade of Reviews is powerful, I'll use that myself.
Have made changes to 'Norfolk Broads' page, adding rollovers on the table and a location of our property. I don't like the 'Hover Over Place Name With Mouse' text, but can't workout a better way to show this. - "Mouse over the table to locate the Town"?
Have removed Sitemap page. - Fine.
Have moved Hamburger on mobile site back to left hand side. - making the Hamburger sticky might improve usability.
Thanks, Ian.
Ian, it seem fresher throughout.
Well done,
Acorn

Hi Acorn,
This still does not work. This is what I am doing:-
Un-grouping my image and frame and removing and un-ticking pop up photo on both.
Ticking pop up photo on the pic only and setting the width to 750, clicking apply then OK
Selecting the frame and pic then going to the Arrange menu and clicking Apply Soft Group
Save then publish.
The result is the pic and/or frame cannot pop up.
Ian.

What version of WD are you using?
I'm using 15 and when I open your file it says it was made in an older version. Could it be a problem with version 15?
Ian.

Ian, I've run the file in versions 11, 12 & 15 in XWDP and XDPX - all work fine.

Hi Acorn,
I've worked out whats happening. Attached is an example.
Pic 1 - the picture is in front of the frame - this pic works
Pic 2 - the picture is behind the frame where it needs to be to look right - this pic doesn't work
Pic 3 - the picture is half behind and half in front - the half behind doesn't work, the half in front does
I still don't know how to resolve the problem though.
Ian.

Ian, I assume you want the top inner and left inner to display a shadow. If you use a frame with a cutout and a shadow this can only end up on the top so the image is underneath and will not be accessible.
A PNG, through transparent in areas, is this there is is over the image. You therefore have to think out of the box (or frame).
The construction from bottom to top is:
- Frame with cutout and shadow.
- Image with pop-up active.
- Top inner shadow.
- Left inner shadow.
- All soft-grouped.
The inner shadows are just thin rectangles with a Feather or Linear Transparency.

i have overemphasised the inner shadow colours on purpose.

Hi Acorn,
I have managed to get it to look OK without the top and inner Shadows.
Thanks again for your help.

Ian, offsetting and shrinking a tad also works.
