    The history of this site is that it was on V3 for many years, when we moved to a new host V3 would not run as expected so we decided to upgrade. I was about time as the old V3 looked very old!

    This one I basically hacked and bashed, my responsive theme (based on bootstrap3) around the template code. I know it is not pretty in the backend but it does the job. It still have the vanilla admin interface, but the front is mobile friendly.

    This site is very boutique so not many listing. There are still old listings in there so some of the images are ideal (too small).

    Let me know if you can see anything worth my altering. I have just implemented rcaptcha as in the first month we have had heaps of SPAMBOT registrations.

    Overall, I think it looks great.

    A couple of suggestions that I would have:
    You may want to consider using different settings for your columns in the "Featured Listings" row. As it is now set to 4 columns, in a landscape display it pushes the 4 listing to a new row which makes it look like you're missing listings.

    In your pull out menu, you may want to consider switching the ">>" to "<<" when it is collapsed. Also, you may want to add rollovers for non-touch devices for the menu items.

    Hello Mike,

    Thanks for your time. I will look to implement ">>" to "<<" and the rollovers (I assume you mean in the main navigation - orange on grey)

    I'm not sure what you mean about the featured listings .. do you mean I am using a 4 column listing structure across 3 columns?

    This is my code to get the featured listings ...

    Code:
     {listings limit="6" featured="Y" sort_order="rand" assign="featured"}
            {if $featured}
        <div class="inner-box category-content">
        <h2 class="title-2">{$smarty.const.LANG_FEATURED_LISTINGS} </h2>
            <div class="row">
     
           
               
                {foreach from=$featured item="list"}
                   
                    <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-4 ">
                    <div class="cat-list">
                        <a href="{$list.link}">
                            <img class="img-responsive" src="{$list.image}" alt="{$list.title}">
                        </a>
                        <h3 class="cat-title">
                            <a href="{$list.link}">
                            {$list.title|truncate:30:" ...":false:true} <br /> {$list.price}
                            </a>
                        </h3>
                    </div>
                    </div>
     
                   
                {/foreach}

    Actually, yes you are doing a 3 column layout (my bad, it's been a while since I worked with bootstrap). The featured listings will randomly have rows with empty spaces in them. It's about 70/30 whether it shows as in your screen shot or the one that I uploaded as an attached file. The first time I loaded the site, it showed as in the attached screenshot. If you refresh the home page several times, you'll see what I'm talking about as it shows different random featured listings each time.
