    lot of text- it's very good! but you need to work on the design. there are no logo, and the text boxs are "fly" in the site. succes with your site!

    The pop up wizard is annoying.. I would remove that. Also for your menu table, add a cellpadding so the text doesn't touch the edge of the table.

    - adsense should be optimized well in ur site
    - pages should be moved from /english/ folder to the root folder

    You might consider re-positioning the language flags so they are centered over the navigation bar a little better. Also, I would add a header graphic on the larger portion of the site to make it stand out.

    Other than that, I would consider widening the navigation column or increasing the cell / table padding so the text does not look like its on the left edge.

    Otherwise, great site. Nice work on the articles.

    First thing I noticed is that my warning bar at the top of IE7 says "This site wants to run the following add-on: Microsoft Agent Control"..... I would figure out what is causing that and get rid of it asap.

    You need a header or something to anchor the site and to tell what the site is about. Also, your site links and your google links need to match - preferable, make them the 'standard' blue - that's what people are used to when they see links.

    In my oppinion, the design is too simple, I would recommand you to hire a professional webdesigner (I could recommand you some on DP). Dude, you have a great domain with great potential, therefore you would need a professional design!

    Thanks for your compliments,Michelangelo,for me it'not a special website,but we all know that we are never happy about our work...
    Do you have an idea about the template more appropriated for a travel destination website like mine? Do you have some thumbnails to send me?
    Or suggest me where I could go and find it?
    Thx ,Filippo

    Exponent,thanks for the flags solution you suggested to me,but as you said in your post,the flags so should go ON the site name,and not stuck,if not the same site name won't neither be centered.

    Oh, I know Jonathan and Monica,They are doing a good job in Venice,I met them few months ago.Do they know them?
    I mean I know their site,but I wouldn't copy it
    Also they should write their text a little bigger,do you agree?

    You don't have to copy their sites, these are only sites to get inspiration.
