We have a new vacation destination site for Topsail Island (www.topsail-island.info) that will be for news, events, etc. Currently, the site has the general menu, a link directory, etc. We would very much like to obtain opinions on what we have done right and what needs work regarding: look and feel, functionality, or just plain missing! The site has Google ads for the moment which will be transitioning to other advertisers over time (hopefully!!!).
nice site design, you should try to fix the search box on the left, it goes to far to the right and goes over into the middle
I notice the links at the bottom for the towns do not have pages yet. Hampstead is where I live...so, I immediately clicked that one first to see what you had.
Your link for high speed Internet access is also broken. It has: http://www.topsail-island.info/www.topsailinternetcafe.com currently.
Thanks for the input! This has been a tremendous experience for each of us involved and we want to make it the best we can (type A personality???) We are very interested to know if you feel there is added value by adding Flash to the header? Calendar tool (e.g. display similar to wall calendar) versus display text in chronological order with breakouts by month / week / day? Other ideas that would make this site exceptional?
Seems to be coming along nicely. Bit concerned about the way each page is loading though causing a bit of a white flash to occur. If you code it right you should be able to get rid of that so that the upper section remains static or appears to. Site like this needs pictures for sure and definitely on the first page as a 'welcomer'. MKJ
Looks very good.. and i agree that hopefully you will replace the google ads. They take way on the left hand side where you normally look for the navigation. It took me a while to actually find the nav up top (maybe font is too small or too well blended into the site.) overall very nice site
Google advertising on the left side is overkill all I see is a public service ad. Logo could do with a little more work other than that looks great.
you should take down GoogleAdsense from left menu and fix this search-box... anyway i dont like this kind of menu which you use...
Work on the design. Try to fix the searchfield and remove the line that goes though the text to the left. I run firefox but this may seem a little bit better in other browsers such as IE.
Thanks for the input guys! We do appreciate it. I had not viewed the site with firefox so, this is good to hear from you.
Some of the pages have "{insert here}" set for the title.. http://www.topsail-island.info/topsail-calendar/topsail-calendar.php
Yes, many of those pages have been corrected as we have installed the Google sitemap, a link directory (for those who want to trade contact me please), working on the RSS article feeds, advertisements, along with quite of few articles now from our 7 content writers. This has been a rather significant undertaking for us. Thank you so much for all the input and please feel free to keep 'em coming. It is appreciated!
