http://www.hotelsathens.travel/ hotel booking site for Athens Greece. Lots of work has gone in building the structure of the site, integrating it with booking.com pages (as much as possible using iframe) including our own unique content in order be competent in google's eyes Anyway the design was more in a rush then we wanted to so it might look quite unfinished ... now its the time to focus on the design again and any ideas would be very appreciated ...
Design is very good but you can change something on header. A lot of empty space and strange flash slogans...
The site looks fantastic except the header. You can opt for a colorful header instead of this blank white one. All the best....
Yes the header is something that needs changing we have it in mind can you give any suggestion on what would look good for the header ?
I would try some form of opt in in your header like a email sign up with an incentive to get the searcher to opt in and give you the email. Maybe a free mini guide to all the hotspots in Athens, Greece, just an idea.
maybe you can use a travel-hotels-moments collage design on the page top background. some examples: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BlvVqKgFLN8/RwJuKKLKDBI/AAAAAAAABdA/U_xKe6xYeJw/s400/php+travel+collage.jpg http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/visitcascadia.jpg
Hello Chios, Your site definitely has room for improvement. Here are a couple of suggestions to increase your bookings… There are millions of international hotel booking sites on the internet. Why should visitors use your site over others? How are you going to break through the noise, grab visitor's attention and differentiate yourself from your competitors? You are in a very competitive arena going against TripAdvisor and Expedia. You only have between 4 and 7 seconds to grab the new visitor and tell him why he should be dealing with you instead of your competitors. You do this with something called your Unique Value Proposition. Those are the reasons and they have to be front and center on your homepage above the fold. I see that you have some of your competitive advantages on a scroll feature next to your logo but I highly doubt anyone is going to wait to see all of them. I would get rid of that feature and simple list them. Throughout your site you have grammar mistakes. This significantly lowers your credibility. If you want your website to have credibility in countries where English is the native language, then the English should be perfect. Otherwise, people will have a low opinion of your website and will be inclined to not use it. Hire a copywriter to edit your site. The images you chose for the flash on the homepage are poor quality and hard to see. I would suggest finding higher quality photos to draw the visitor into your site. Also, make sure to include photos of tourist attractions in Greece. Make sure that users can read the testimonials for each hotel. Many people rely on these for credibility. Remember, you are in a very competitive space with well established websites, reputations, pricing and customer service. What is going to make people trust you and want to book their hotels from your site? Let me know what you think. I would recommend you read up on Unique Value Proposition to help you let your website visitors know how you differentiate yourself from your competitors. http://bit.ly/9tCYXe Kindly, Shelby Optimizing your website for conversion isn't expensive. Leaving money on the table is.
I would recommend you to get better header for your site otherwise site is looking pretty good and attractive
