Thread: New Website For Review

Please let me have your comments on my latest release. www.wilderness-on-sea.com

Cheers,

Very nice design and use of colors. Your text links seemtobecrammedtogether somewhat. Possibly a bullet or a "|" to separate them.
Maybe it's just me.
Great job!!

Thanks Terry,

I agree and have given them a facelift.

Cheers,

LOL, I just spent about 10 minutes looking for something to pull you up on. Only because your sites always look great. Eureka! Found it.
On the page garden_route_attractions & reservations, you have some text Bed & breakfast | Wilderness. On one of them, you have an extra space in the lettering.
Now let’s see if anyone can get more petty than this. LOL

Real nice site Andrew.

Good luck.

Hey Chris,

LOLOL You've got me.
I hope it was 10mins well spent.

Cheers,

Hi,
First, you webs are looking better & better every day.
But, shall we be very very petty ??????
In your navigation menu, when the mouse goes over, the colour of the text change, but also the vertical line that separate the words changes the colour. It will look nicer if that vertical line doesn't change colour.
Very beatifull website.
If you want to hit me have a look at my new one that I put it up for a review.
Ciao
Alas

Hi Andrew,

Once again you manage to outdo yourself, got any christmas stockings on black background hanging around.

Oh Andrew - once again a lovely site. The color, the ease of navigation, the presentation, graphics.. excellence all the way.
Here is my nit pick -
On the homepage -
Slightly awkward:
"The beautifully appointed en-suite rooms each has a private entrance and private patio.
Might go with:
"Each beautifully appointed en-suite room has a private entrance and private patio."

How did you guy's find out that I am heading for my annual holiday at the 'beach house' tommorrow??? LOLOL

Thanks Liz & Alas for the "nit picking" looks like a late one again, as I have plenty of content to add. I'm going to have to take the laptop along with me.

Thats for all the help, I'm presently looking straight through the site and no longer noticing the mistakes, so I appreciate the fresh eyes.

Cheers,

Hi Sharon,

EMail me a little more info (use, sizes etc) as I have loads and I've just finished adding a little 'Christmas Cheer' to most of my stationary. (as per the hat on my frogg)

Merry Merry...

Good to hear from the "Aussie Shepherds" again.

I'm busy with a non-hospitality site at the moment and the change is good. I'm waiting for some content but I think I'll put it up for crit later tonight.

Merry Merry,

Hi Andrew,

Good as always. On the Rooms and Rates page you have "ready for the days Garden Route exploration..." Should it not be "ready for the day's Garden Route exploration..."?

I was at the Congo Caves last in 1973, lol. How about a few graphical example of the Garden route attractions listed on the home page?

Thanks Tommy,

Giving away the age??? LOL By the way where are the Congo Caves? I use the attractions list on the home page as a keyword list and I give a different attraction discription on the bottom of most pages.

Cheers,

Tom,

You'll find the Cango Caves on the bottom of the attractions page, but I think they're the same as 1973. LOL (just a little older.)

Cheers,

Andrew,

Sorry, I missed that about the caves on the Activities page. The age is not a problem, lol. Half of that is only the Interest added...

Yip, I've started utilizing a block on the bottom of my website pages where I place a bit of "interesting info" for two reasons: They are a good read and areas of interest for visitors and also important, they are usually areas of good SE keywords.

Cheers,

Well I like the colour scheme, It looks really good
Happy New Year!

WOW, just WOW! Very impressive website. I am still building my website so I am still intrigued by all the shinny stuff and all the bells and whistles, like how your picture 'fans' across at the bottom of your home page.

One thing that caught my eye...'Awake to the sounds of the Indian Ocean', my first thought was tsunami. Maybe I am just strange? Ocean could do just as well?

and i call myself 'angstless'

This site looks great!

Im very new here. Great looking site. I was curious what was used to create the "photo flip book" at the bottom of your site. That is a great touch.

Thanks

I really love this site. You did a great job with the colors and making the animal images literally "pop" out at you. (and all the pictures are beautiful). You obviously spent a great deal of time on this site and it sure paid off. :)

Thanks George,

It's always nice working with good pictures of a beautiful place.

Cheers,

Hi mrdeeds,

Thank you, the "photo flip book" is java script and there are plenty of slideshow options available at http://www.dynamicdrive.com

Cheers,

Always love your graphics. Spot on!

Hi angstless

Thanks.

I prefer for SEO to use full specific words eg indian ocean rather than just ocean. As to the tsunami worry, South Africa is yet to have an tsunami, tornado, hurricane or earthquake (touch wood LOL)

Lost for words Andrew! 'Stunning' comes to mind tho.

Hi my friend,

Regarding your Isangotours: I'm also lost for words LOL. Absolutely brilliant.

On the home page:
"The scheduled tours visit Top Garden Route and Western Cape Attractions with an emphasise being placed on South African wildlife, history and ..."
I think you should use the noun emplasis.

Lower case "optional extra: " is that intentional?

Andrew, the what did you use for the Slide Show in the Photo Gallery? It's absolutely fantastic.

Please continue being an inspiration for many of us.
