I'm developing a travel site for both travel agencies and customers. I can myself edit code, but I really want to have your reviews about general travel site. Which sections do you prefer at travel site? I prefer: - Hot Promotion (Tours or Hotel Rooms) - Special Tours (made by travel company, etc..) - Best Hotels and Popular Hotels (by pick or hotel's category) - Big Slot for adverting banners. - Travel News. But is avalaible any way to add these blocks? - Top Destinations - Excursions (City-tour) - General Travel Gallery - Luxury Class (Hotels) Advanced thanks for your discuss. I'm designer and coder, so your review is so important for our travel site.
According to me: - Hot Promotion (Tours or Hotel Rooms) - Special Tours (made by travel company, etc..) - Best Hotels and Popular Hotels (by pick or hotel's category) - Big Slot for adverting banners. - Travel News.
What one person prefers is irrelevant. What most people look for should drive the design of the site. And you're not going to get that here, you need to research it.
Yup this is where good Information Architecture and UX experience is needed; otherwise it just becomes another site on the net. Everyone that comes to the site will be looking for things in their own way and you need to test for this with either focus groups or online usability testing. Research is key...test, retest, measure and then deploy.
