    Nice site. A few blurred images, but no deal breakers. Is it just me, or does there look to be a flat and covered up dog just by the window entrance on the front page?

    Edit: Yes. That photo is squashed when viewed on a larger monitor. So too then the dog. If you save the photo and open it, it's close to square.

    Hi,

    Your site looks good. I have a few suggestions :

    • can you make the "Trending Stays" section links open in the same window / tab ?
    • if I look at the source code of you page I see a lot of inline javascript and css code. I would suggest putting the code in separate .css and .js files.
    • maybe you should compress a bit the pictures you use. for example this one (https://housestay.com/server/php/rental/thumbnail/14731846311-kitchen-png) is 510 KB and it slows you page load time.
    • if I go to pages like https://housestay.com/property?city=Beverly+Hills%2C+CA%2C+United+States the browser's (chrome) back button doesn't work until the page loads and it's a bit annoying.
    I hope my suggestions will help you.

    I am getting a boring look. Your design is right but your color combination is poor. Change it ASAP.

    Nice website.

    The top part of the screen (1 full scroll) is being wasted on an image/search option.

    You can reduce it to probably 1/10th of the size and add some info there.

    Your website is extremely beautiful. I just have a few suggestions:
    • Try to optimize the images, hence it will reduce your page loading time.
    • Try also to combine the different external JavaScript and CSS files into fewer files.

    It looks really good, clean design, text size is perfect, and most importantly everything is organized. The site looks functional and very professional from my point of view.

    I like it, only missing the $ sign before numbers, or are the amounts in bitcoins? :)

    Looks awesome. Wouldn't start my site with a popup search box (modal), other than that it looks rather professional. For a moment I thought it was another WP site, but it looks like it's all custom made. Good luck!
