    Let me know what you think of the design of this site.

    The header graphic was designed by a Digital point forum designer.

    Look forward to reading your feedback.

    Oh well, it looks like many other "book now" sites.

    The header tries to look like a web 2.0 "logo". The site design is simple. Done with tables... totally out nowadays, sorry.
    Site was done with XSitePro.

    On to my review:

    DOCTYPE is HTML 4.01 Transitional

    Validator tells me: 19 Errors, 13 warning(s)

    Check them out here:

    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0

    Google Page Speed Score is 79.

    These are suggestions from Google to boost page loading speed (and help with some SEO I think):

    
    Combine external JavaScript
    Enable compression
    Leverage browser caching
    Serve static content from a cookieless domain
    Combine external CSS
    Minify CSS
    Specify a Vary: Accept-Encoding header
    Specify image dimensions
    
    Code (markup):
    There is a lot of optimizing to do. IMO I would think about a redesign.

    Good luck

    First thought is "Where is a Order Now button?"
    It's really looks like it. The reason is I think that there are too many font colors and that ugly yellow highlight at right.
    I think you can change it only with changing font colors

    Hi CSM

    Thanks for the review...I think! haha.

    Yes the site design is simple. The goals isn't to have incredble flash graphics here, there and everywhere
    but instead the goal is to rank highly on specific search terms.

    I do appreciate your more technical review though. Good food for thought.

    mrmichaelstack...I'm not sure what you mean by 'where is a order now button?'
    I have removed the yellow highlight on the right as I wasn't overly happy with that either. Nice pick up.

    Thanks again for your feedback and open to any other suggestions.

    Nice logo, try to make rest of the site in some "Web 2.0" style.

    thanks for your feedback guys.

    As for making the rest of the site more 'web 2.0' I assume you mean graphics
    with reflections and more interactive?

    If not, what exactly is your interpretation of web 2.0?

    Not bad, shame it's built with tables, would have been more effective in the search engines with a div layout.
