      hi there,
      I am working on a new website at the moment and am trying to find a cms/theme to use as starting point for the developement.

      A friend of mine pointed me towards laytheme but I am not exactly sure if laytheme provides me the possibilities to actually translate the existing idea. I would be really glad if someone could read the following and state something.

      what am I aiming for:

      The website (portfolio) should be based on a simple slide show. Every slide shows an image (or various), a caption related to the content given and counter if possible. By klicking on the image (space) the next slide appears > image(s), caption and counter change. It would be great if I was also able to define diffrent positions for the images depending on the slide.

      As there will be probably a lot of content to show I was also thinking about providing the viewer the possibility of browsing through an index page that collects alle the images as thumbnails, but this is not obligatory.

      I attached three sample images to visualize the idea of the diffrent slides

      example of slides with index:

      Contact details/ Name should stay on each site while browsing through the slides.

      I am sorry if some of the questions mentioned seem quite obvious, but I have no idea at the moment in which way you are able to alter the visual appearence of laytheme. Can I set/alter the positions of all the elements through the html/css editor? Is it possible to alter elements like the counter to display "3" instead of "3/50" for example.

      Thank you very much in advance!

      Very best,
      Bennie

        Hey bennie!

        I am sending you an email with some login data to try out lay theme and the addons for yourself.

        With the lay theme carousel you can have slides with images and captions and a counter yes. By clicking on the image you can go to the next slide, yes. You cannot have different positions of the images depending on the slide no. For this maybe the fullscreen slider addon is better with the horizontal option activated. The fullscreenslider is different and i think it would make sense for you to try both addons. Also with the fullscreenslider on phone your content will be stacked, while with the carousel addon it will still be a carousel also on a phone.

        Theres no support for an index page with all the images of a fullscreen slider or a carousel.

        The site http://tomordoyno.com/ has a different url for each image. Its not really a slider, but just many subpages that contain an image. You could recreate this by creating a project for each image. (Maybe using a vertically centered image like here: http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#vertically-center-content)
        Each project has a "project thumbnail". You could add the "project thumbnails" to an overview page by using the "+Project" button in the Gridder. This way you would have an index page with all images. For navigating between the images you could use the "Project Arrows" feature: http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#project-arrows

        Contact details / Name can stay fixed, yes. The name can be the site title (Customize -> Site Title -> Site Title) and your contact details could be the site tagline (Customize -> Site Title -> Site Tagline).

        Can I set/alter the positions of all the elements through the html/css editor?

        No, this is better done using the gridder itself but any other css changes you can do.

        Can I set/alter the positions of all the elements through the html/css editor?

        No

        Forgot your key, lost your files, need a previous Lay Theme or Addon version? Go to www.laykeymanager.com

        Before you post:

        Use the Search Feature. Maybe there is already a solution to your issue.

        1. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
        2. Disable all Plugins
        3. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code ", click "Save Changes"
        4. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache. Now see if your problem solved itself.
        Go here, see if your problem is listed here:
        Troubleshooting

        When you post:
        1. Post a link to where the problem is
        2. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it

        Thanks!
