Hi Everyone, Please review my family travel site at www.travel4kids.com.au I have been fine tuning the design and would love feedback (good or bad) Thnaks Richard
veeery slow for me too.... something is wrong with the hosting and/or the machine that serves the website
As others have said it's painfully slow to load -- the time between the DNS lookup and the server responding to the first request takes WAY too long, but even once past that hump the massive train wreck of a page isn't exactly user-friendly in terms of load time. At 8 seconds JUST for the first request to even respond, that's bad -- that it then wastes 148 requests for Christmas only knows what at a massive 1.56 MEGABYTES treads into some serious herpaderp territory -- as evidenced by the 38 second page load time. Design-wise we start out with the trifecta of /FAIL/ -- inaccessible fixed width layout, inaccessible absurdly undersized fixed metric (px) fonts, with several places having illegible inaccessible color contrasts... and that's just the tip of the iceberg. The complete lack of logical use of numbered headings, complete lack of graceful degradation, and false simplicity of using placeholders instead of labels pissing on the usability of the forms makes it a poster child for how NOT to build a website. ... and that's before looking under the hood. HTML 5 code bloat, comment placements that could be tripping rendering errors in legacy IE and some versions of FF, empty FOOTER tags for *** knows what, endless pointless classes slapped everywhere, little if anything remotely resembling semantics or minimalist markup, absolute URL's everywhere for no good reason... Though it is ENTIRELY what I've come to expect from sleazing out a website using an off the shelf steaming pile of 100% grade A farm fresh manure like Turdpress. The 173k of markup to deliver 9k of plaintext and less than two dozen content images telling you all you need to know about it -- since that's anywhere from eight to ten times as much code as should be needed for such a simple layout and simpler content. Throw it out and start over, there is little if anything of value to even try to salvage from that mess.
I found below points to be improve the look and feel of the travel site. - Loading time is slow - On the left side create the nice graphics with box for latest deals, get free travel deals etc. - give perfect space with each bullet oints - make heading text coclor little blue or green as per site theme. - Recreate the entire foter design - right part also give some grapihc effect with light background color with each element on right hand side
Very nice, but slowly to loading in Hanoi Vietnam. Do you need link exchange with travel related Please pm me. Thanks
Design isn't bad, but it isn't good. It can be lot better. It is really slow. You also need to create more graphics, put some images, videos or something. Put some colors, it kind looks boring.
