Hi there, please tell me what do you think about my new web.

www.tanzania-zanzibar-dar-es-salaam-hotels.com.

I am using this domain-name to promote my hotel.

Its rather a long domain name but when you get there its worth it.

I like the way you have used your photos and the intro from black and white to full color was great.

I found myself wishing that I was there, and thats coming from a guy who lives on the sea................

Your contact link took me to a prices page and your reservations link/page
allowed me to submit a blank form.

You may want to consider using a simple PHP script to check that the relevant fields have been entered. If you are interested contact me.....

Good luck with your Hotel.

P.S. Any discounts for the Vodahost Family ???

Nice work,
A couple of things you might want to take care of:
-Intro page: Use Upper case for "hotel" if that is the name of the complex.
-Wines: Origine and Origin on same page makes it appear that you have mispelled the word.
-Menus: (they look delicious) the text for prawns is difficult to read over the image. Red text on red image. Also, "homemade" is one word.
-Try to avoid the horizontal scroll, see this page

Thank you for the discount offer, good luck.

Alas: Very nice. I love the way you have your photos fade in to a nice crisp colorful image. Just beautiful. You have done a wonderful job. I have bookmarked your site for clients I have that enjoy visiting Africa.

Hi David,
thank you again for your help.
I have use the contac form you have suggested me, which is in one of your web.
I do not understand this part of it :
Quote
Now SAVE this file in the following manner:
Select "file"
Select "save as"
Select "files of type" and change to "ALL Files"
(Above step is most important)
Select "save"
..................................................
Thats the hard part done..............
STEP 3 :
........
Now all you have to do is to open your BlueVoda FTP program (or any FTP program)
and upload "processingpage.php" to your public.html directory.....................
First when I save following your instructions I still have the zip Icon.
I have open the cpanel to upload the file, but I do not understand what I have to do, because i can see ftp accounts etc...
I am very confuse, can you help understanding this final step?
I will really appreciate it.
Ciao
Alas

hey there, looking good. looks clean and professional. The only bit i'm not too keen on is, as david said, the long domain name. It's not a catchy one that people will remember and if they do they've got to remember how to spell it and where to add the dashes. You'd be better off getting a new one and shortening it. To save wasting your current domain you could point it to the new one.

alas · #17 03-23-2007, 12:58 PM

Hi Mook25,
I actually have another which yesterday I made it as the exact copy of this one, but the name is www.mediterraneotanzania.com.
I need the other long domainame because has in it all the keywords which customers are using to search for an hotel in Tanzania.
Thanks
P.S. Any idea how to publish on ftp program David's form?

Hi there,
There is some really elegant design work here. Your pages are clean, visually very appealing and impart information is a direct and simple way, and no scrolling which is fantastic (well not on my screen although looking at your page source it does look as if your page width is 900px which is a shame: 780 would have been better). With some niggles ironed out, as mentioned by others, this is high class. My niggles:1) do not date your images in your gallery page. The photos are not date dependant and may impart a feeling that the site is not often revised. 2) Your entrance to the site page: there really is too much going on. People just need to click on the appropriate language and move on. I suggest you keep it to a few good static colour images without the black and white to colour business. Remember; just because you can do it does not mean you should (remember all the indiscriminate use of flash a few years ago. 3)Some of your pages are not properly centered in the browser window. 4) It would be nice to have a page about yourself and the history of the hotel etc. Whether or not it a family run business and so on. Sell yourselves as well as the location.
This is all meant to be constructive and I hope you take it as so. You never know, if the hotel falls on hard times you may have a second career as a web designer!
Regards, James.
