ohh now I want to go to Maldives!! Nice site, I really like the layout it's nice, plain and user friendly. All on one page... nice idea!
site header is flash ( i find that not good for a new site) ... i would rather keep the text menu over it . The message in the flash " best offers " or something , goes off too fast before u can read it . Also why the RED color on link hover ? Dont start a sentence with " .... "
I agree with websys about flash header. Swish effects are too classic for web design now. We were playing with these animations several years ago. I suggest you to change your header with a normal gif or jpeg version. I liked the background picture of Maldives. Keep it. Use some good fonts and create a gif or jpeg header. If you want you can create a contest in Digital Point Contest room for a more professional header. Of course there must be a prize in the contest. Check some contests to get an idea. You have got good content. Your site is full of articles about Maldives so this is a plus for you in search engine optimization. I liked the Photos part a lot. There are plenty of good photos. Good luck
I like your design and choice of colors. I don't see anything wrong with the flash. I would keep it, it makes the website look more alive and atractive. I also like the fact that you have pictures on the home page and some nice graphics. I think you did a good job to say the least.
i agree with the flash header. maybe instead of having text animation, just fade in and out beautiful images. the "package deals" boxed in section doesn't look so hot. the color choices seem kind of bland in comparison to the rest of the site, so it sticks out like a sore thumb to me. the colors you chose there just don't "pop" like the rest of your color selection. kinda overwhelming to the eye. I know having a lot of text is good for search engines, but it also makes it difficult to create flow. you might be able to accomplish this with smaller text descriptions and larger images
I think it's very difficult to promote the site with flash design to search engine especially it is a new site. I like the flash header design but, do a stop animation to your looping flash design.
Nice clean site.. but its too busy. i can't tell which link to click on because the titles are so long and confusing
