    Hi DP members,

    For about 6 months I am working on my portal related to "Holidays in Thailand".

    Please give me some suggestions what I can improve to attract more visitors and reduce bounce rate. As well, I think to rebuilt completely my homepage as I think it is boring and probably it is not really visitor friendly.

    My website is www.thailandvacations.biz.

    Thank-you!

    Kind regards
    Kal

    Get rid of the grey.

    Make it so you dont have to scroll across the bottom (page is too wide).

    Perhaps improve your logo, although thats not too big a deal

    The scroll on the bottom has to go. I haven't seen one of those in a while ;)

    I'm not a big fan of the gray either.

    Great content though! Just work a little bit on the design :)

    Only the content looks good.The template,layout,banner,logo and color schemes are not much impressive.Align the titles of menu to be in center.So get a goodlooking template inorder to attract the visitors first that would be one reason in decreasing the bounce rate of your site.Goodluck in promoting it.

    The content looks good and interesting but the title looks too simple, just some effects for that..

    I have to agree with others the scroll on the bottom has to go and the colour of the colum on the left is not that great but your site looks good other then that

    I just start adding more images and interactive maps. Soon I will prepare typography extras for the content, but it is a lot!

    I can say that I am only at 5% of the content that will gonna be published! There are more than 3000 pages that will be added until the end of this year.

    God knows, may be with a bit luck, this may become #1 website of Thailand.

    Unfortunately I am working alone, and I am searching for partners for revenue share.

    Wow, thank you very much! I try to do it.

    For everybody that said change Grey, I will do it and pub the green color as soon as I find this in my CSS.

    I think I need different header as well, as I think it is time to start creating my corporate image.

    Kind regards

    great domain, seems you have a lot of valuable content too

    the first thing that comes to mind for me when i think of Thailand is
    beautiful tropical beaches, beautiful people, and great food ...

    a dynamic header featuring palm trees, beaches, people, food ....
    would be a great bonus if you want to make it more attractive i think

    Hi,

    Like the site a lot but you should really have some pictures above the fold. and the width!! You need to change that as fast as possible I would guess thats why you get a high bounce rate.

    take care

    Website looks nice! All you need is a proper seo since I don't see meta tags in your websites:) Good luck!
