Daniel Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Looks okay but I really don't see the point in doing it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openmind Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Same here. Branding the front end yes indeed but the admin area? Seems like wasted effort since only you or your staff will see it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swg Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Personally I think http://forum.whmcs.com/showpost.php?p=177380&postcount=13 makes better use of space.... Edited March 17, 2011 by swg link 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semoweb Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wasn't trying to make use of space rather much of a different feel and matched our site, of course no one is going to see this obviously any one who does it is aware of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scurrell Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Personally I think http://forum.whmcs.com/showpost.php?p=177380&postcount=13 makes better use of space.... Quite agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Each to their own - looks good but I wouldn't do it myself. I think the v4 template is spot on apart from the header issue, which there is a fix for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Same here, I wouldn't bother. All I did was to replace the logo to help identify which installation I was on more easily (I run several). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzlyware Josh Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 If you're running a massive company, it would work in the way by brand awareness on your staff, nationwide, and influencing them to buy your products & same for their contacts... I guess? Looks good though, but to open plan for my use though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zomex Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Same here, I wouldn't bother. All I did was to replace the logo to help identify which installation I was on more easily (I run several). I also replace the logo and leave it at that. I congratulate you for taking the time to do it though. I've though about doing it myself but can never fully convince myself.

Cape Dave Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I like the stock admin Interface. Logo change maybe, but also not likely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point - I often wonder which is the largest organisation (in terms of profit / numbers) to be using WHMCS (except WHMCS themeselves!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntaHost-Steve Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yeh looks ok, but again can't see the point. Just involves spending more time when installing whmcs updates etc. Logo change is enough for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbravo2 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Looks good! I like the way you styled the Search box. I've done the same thing with my install. I've also customized the admin homepage to be more usable. I'll post screenshots when I get a second. Keep up the good work! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiz Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 we branded our admin panel too, why not ? we love our brand and am fanatics of ourselves ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbravo2 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 to the OP: I'd make the Intelligent search wider to match the width of the "divet" in your design 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojahed Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) the admin area integration idea is great but your design is:eek: Edited May 7, 2011 by mojahed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Theres a new admin template in whmcs 4.5, btw i think default templates are great and a logo change is enough for most of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr2 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) the answer in my opinion is obvious on why one might need to brand the admin area. Your brand is only as good as you... or is it you are only as good as your brand? In any event, be the best you can be. mojahed the admin area integration idea is great but your design is usually most opinions are based on someone's ideas. Its nice that we each have our own.

Payton Designs Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I like the idea of the admin integration for your employees and what not, but I don't think you executed this very well. The intelligent search doesn't fit in that upper right box whatsoever and your drop down menus don't even remotely blend with the blue navigation bar. I think it can be great if you focus on the minor details such as these. I have integrated my admin area as well, but basically kept it as simple as possible. http://www.clicknhost.com/u/100511/fd5t6y7g7.jpg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
