HI Andrew - Always love to see your sites, your graphics in particular are always a treat.

This site is no exception. Your colors are great, catchy and soothing at the same time, and your graphics are excellent.
The site is clean and easy to navigate, good use of light box - sweet.

The only criticism I can offer is this - When viewed in Firefox there is quite a bit of overlap with your headlines; this is a real common problem with Firefox and h1 h2 etc tags.

On one of my sites I used a fix I found here on the forum and it worked.
I put this code in the page html, between head tag area, and it took care of it, but you will have to correct it for font style and size I think.

/script>
<style type="text/css">
h1 {margin-bottom:0em; margin-top:0em; color: #black; text-align: center; font-family: BlackChancery; font-size: 21px; }
</style>
<style type="text/css">

Good Luck

Hi Andrew,
another great looking site. Ditto on the Fire Fox issue that Liz mentioned.

Hi Andrew,

Ditto with the above. Shu....It's quite difficult finding any criticisms on your site. Your page layout and the the variations with your graphics works great. The look and feel is very attractive.

Great job as ALWAYS. You're surely lining them up, lol (the websites...)

Thanks Liz for the fix I'm going to play with it right now. I battled (knowing Chris would come a knocking LOL), then gave up and decided on the 70:30 IE split. I'm excited to get it into play as I would love to get firefox sorted.

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

6 more sites and I'm heading for the holiday house at Bushman's River or it's laptop and cell phone and off I go. It would be quite novel to lie tanning on the beach, while chatting on VH forum LOL

Are you heading this way for Xmas??

Cheers,

Hi Andrew,

Lucky you. No, I will be spending my holidays right here in the GardenRoute in RemainHere.

Be on the lookout for my brand new UPDATED properties site and a new one about Instructional Design templates and many other sorts of templates. I would like your feedback then. See what I will be busy with?

Next year, hopefully we will travel your way. Enjoy your vacation.

Liz,
You are a honey!!! The tests I've done no longer have my bugbear overlapping. Oh well I have about 12 sites to update LOL
I owe, I owe, It's off to work I go...

Thank you.

Loooking gooooodd Andrew!!

Always a pleasure to see your work! Especially love the image of the hotel desk bell which links to online reservations....so clever.

Thanks Vicks

Glad you enjoy.

Hi Andrew, WOW to South Africa, love the pics and the way you've made it really easy for international people to relate to the environment. I'm not sure if what I have to contribute is the same as the firefox feedback... personally I like to see a gap right at the top of the page and at the bottom... keep feeling like I want to scroll down a little more - even got my face close to the screen. Really great tho.

MADinMelbourne,

Most of my Aussie "mates" are mad LOL. But it's the first time I've had a request to have a gap at the bottom of the page. I hope it's because you love the site and want to read more...

I'm too far down the road with the site I'm working on at the moment, www.isangotours.com but I'll try it with shadows on the next site.

Cheers,

Really cool colors and I like the simple navigation. Nicely done!

Thanks Motoxxx, Glad you enjoy.

Cheers

Makes me want to visit, so I guess you have done a good job there... Very nice, love the menu buttons and the Elephant!

Hey Marincky,

I seem to be following you around the forum. I live close to the Elephant Park so i've collect some great wildlife photo's from my visits.

Cheers,

What a life! I live close to a postbox, a 3 story high dentist block, two 5 story high block of flats, two trees and a police station!

Want to swap?

LOLOL...
No thanks, I did my time in the UK (Dad's family from Scotland & Mom's family are English)

Bring the laptop and call it a working holiday? Cheap as anything on the pound as well.
