Hello all, Would much appreciate your opinions on my site: whatever comes to mind, both good and bad. I am wondering: is it clear and simple enough (users are not web heads), fast enough, attractive enough... or is it too something...? Also any SEO needs or requirements, mistakes or blunders... much appreciated. Many thanks in advance. http://www.holidayspecialpackages.com.au
First impression : very good, clear and attractive I'm not one of your potential customer, but I would have liked to see the benefits / concept of your site in the first paragraph with more impact : bold, may be with a bullet list (2 or 3 bullets). Who you are (what's your value proposition), what are the benefits for your surfers. The information is there, but IMHO, with not enough impact, at the very beginning of the site. Moreover, it will give the site a more balanced touch if the first paragraph is developped Just my opinion
some links from on the top , like testimonials are opening in a new window when you click them , maybe try to intigrate them...
My first impression was that the ad displayed on the home page, under the nav bar, on the left side was very fuzy. I would try to get a crisper image. Also, parts of the site seem to take a while to load (that could be my connection though). I would also agree with ethiccash above. You should scale back the text on the home page and make it shorter and more concise. Hope this helps!
Thanks for those comments. Much appreciated. I agree with you remarks concerning the homepage text, which is too windy. Trees and wood spring to mind! Will make some chnages and inform you for more valued opinions.
Nicely designed page and it gives me the mood to explore further. However certain things you may want to consider:- 1) It loads too slowly .. 2) The Save $ On your left navigation does not draw attention. Maybe Save in that color and the amount saved in different color would be nicer 3) For HSP Destination .. i think it looks too orange ( not eye-friendly ) 4) Consider different font. Verdana maybe? In short, a nicely designed page with minor changes needed
I defenetly would change the font . It is not hard to do and will give a much better look to the site. But all things considered, I like the site. printer buying guides
It loads very slowly for me and i'm on broadband. I do like the design though. The flashing honeymoon advert really grabs my attention, which if you want people to click on that first then thats good
Much better. I would suggest putting something in the empty upper left hand spot. Other than that I really like it. Makes me wish I could take a vacation.
empty upper left corner is being closed/stripped out by NAV or similar, please look again and tell me if you still can't see it. Anyone know a way around this very annoying Norton function/habit?
I like the banner very much (including the contents bar) I don't like the orange (sub)title (font, colour) and the small black font underneath
Personally I'd tone the honeymoon advert down a bit, I find it overpowers the page. Think about an epileptic user for reasons why this sort of thing might be a bad idea... The beating heart without the flashing NEW would be a bit more tolerable. General look and feel of the site is very nice, don't like the way lots of windows are opened up through general navigation. I always think "virus" / "spyware" when extra windows open, which I'm sure isn't the impression you are seeking to make. Site doesn't meet W3C QA requirements (like the vast majority of sites on the net), you might want to look into how big a deal it is to make it comply.
Dreamweaver MX 2004 Agree, will change honeymoon ad, as well as the excessive number of popup windows. How important do you think the W3C requirements are?
