    Hey!

    Launched my new travel site today!
    Content is still pretty weak, but I will fix that during the weekend.
    The stuff I really need feedback on is colours on theme, frontpage layout
    (dotted windows with info). All feedback is appreciated!

    Cheers
    Ben

    Love the logo and header image. Very clean design unfortunately the chosen colors gives it a desert feel rather than a tropical feel.

    I would prefer the logo with just the letters on the
    photo background without any pale shadow rectangle
    between the letters and the photo background.

    OK, website is quite new, but design is good. WordPress theme that you chose is a bit small, but you can always change that.
    Brasilian chick in gallery is goooood :)

    Cheers,

    In your place I would have removed from the WP category, that was the name directly instead of \ section \ title and the menu to move to the right - on the left side. that's imho

    Lovin the olours you have but the only thing that i think lets your site down is the type face and the dotted lines, take out the dotted lines and have no borders and change the type face. Just my 2 cents thats all :)

    This is a great site. Nice layout and logo. Maybe now you should put your focus more on content and generating traffic.

    Goodluck! :)

    Good looking site. Most people loves to travel before that, nowadays people searching the tourists place in the internet itself. May be you are going to provide with good informations and everything related to the corresponding tourists spot in your site niche.
