    Hi guys,

    I have this website http://delhicaravan.com for my offline business. It needs a major overhaul before I can promote it.

    Any suggestions, templates, ideas I could use. I know this website is the worst you would've seen...

    The content would remain essentially the same (I'll add a few testimonials, language changer and a blog maybe).

    Here you go:

    When you need a Spanish translation for your site, here I am. I have done several translations related to hotels, motels, hostels, tourism, etc.

    as for your site being bad ive seen a lot worse, but you really shouldnt be using an image to display text.

    Okay.....

    Caravan homestay? The pictures have nothing to do with a caravan. >.>

    Anyway, your pictures at the bottom doesn't display for me... a lot of error thumbnails with the x's are being displayed at this moment.

    I am not sure if the title is misleading or what. I need to know what your Bed and Breakfast offers. No point showing images of other famous places since it's not for your own place. So I would start with that.

    Two, look at what you offer to people in your offline business and start thinking of how you can incorporate that into your site.As for colours... you know the pictures that are displayed on the walls inside the rooms? Earthy gold, greens and oranges, but without the green being to strong or domineering. You need to aim for that. Give it a beautiful eastern feel.

    As for templates... mmm.... I can't think of any templates offhand to showcase your site. But there will be some online. I would almost be tempted to get a wordpress site and a beautiful theme, then customize it and for any enquiries, and bookings, you can add a script to integrate into your site or host it on a sub-domain and just link from the main site.

    The best ideas is sometimes to go look at other people's sites to see what you can do.

    I think the images are the biggest thing you need to improve they make the place look dark and unfriendly. You can take nice images even with just the curtain open and daylight in the room to make it look more appealing.

    :confused:I personally offer translation services.


    Thanks for the website and advise.

    I'll try to set aside a budget on this.

    Thanks but I wasn't soliciting offers.
