Was a while back but I remember seeing that design before.

You have a good memory, yes I did.
However, let me explain the following.
The final design was a third attempt as we got a little fussy about what we wanted, but the final Kinky Kicks logo and colour scheme we really liked. In with the final design was the navigation menu which I hadn't be presented with initially. I assumed that any tour page would also be designed with a nav menu, after all most tour pages are useless without one. However, I was initially told that I did not get one as I didn't request it.
The actual page layout also wasn't exactly as I wanted, but again this could be argued that I wasn't clear enough with my instructions.
After waiting for the project to be finished a month or so later I was happy enough that it was a significant transformation over the default ElevatedX template and heralded its praises.
However, over the next few months I started having doubts about a couple of things, particularly with the headers. While in a bad patch for sales AJ Hall and users of this board all suggested that a) the tour header was way too big and b) the join page was just plain bad (it also had a very large top header)
So piece by piece I started to make my own tweaks, starting with the header and join page, then moving onto the actual layout of the tour pages.
I'll re-iterate though that I have kept the foundations such as the header text style and colour scheme as I do like these. So it would be unfair to say that I 100% dislike the design as this is not the case. There were good bits and not so good bits. I've just taken out the not so good bits!
