Pretty clean indeed!

1. You need to properly title your pages, and to complete the "Properties" (Key Words, Meta, etc.).

2. Most of your smaller pictures along the top display a great deal of distortion (probably from re-sizing manually rather than using an editor -- even the VodaHost Free pix resizer would really help here). Being this small, clarity is especially important.

3. Your Main Text color should be darker and a little further from the overall border tints you are using: continuity is great, but legibility is paramount --- try a medium or complimentary gray tint to bring in not only a professional crispness, but tie in the background of the logo as well.

4. You have some spelling and/or syntax gaffes.....mostly due to English not being a primary language (i.e. "suitcase" "affordable" etc.). These seem small, but on a minimal site, the impact is amplified tremendously. First impressions are extremely important (especially on a 'professional' or commercial site), and often serve to smooth over minor glitches elsewhere.....providing it appears to be an oversight rather than a lapse of intent or effort.

I will re-visit a bit later on, and delve into the interior. Once these prominent and primary issues are resolved, then you should already know what you need to focus on......

Hi, coming along real well. Ditto with Vasili’s comments. The only thing I might add is the shapes you have placed as backgrounds have quite bad looking corners, more so on the feature page. I personally don’t find this works very well in BV & tend use the square edges.
It maybe an idea to (should I say this) permanently borrow some edges from another site. lol

But like the style & lay out.

Good luck.

I have made some update to the site as advised. The images works fine via explorer, but not too well with firefox.

Thanks

Hi, looking lots better without the round edges.

Hi there,
The site looks great, and all seems to work OK.
I found that some of the photos on your home page slide show did not finish loading before the next image came up (see above comments re pix resizer?)
"Monthly" is mis-spelt on the feature page (both apartments).
Only the first two "hot spots around town" actually link...is this ongoing? I would have the pages open as a new window so that your site remains open as well. (Don't ask me how to do it as I can't remember! I'm sure one of the super brains on BV will oblige).
Hope these comments help, and good luck with the apartments - they look fabulous.
Cheers

Thanks guys for all you contribution they have very helpful. The images I will have to update later when I get with new pictures. I have downloaded the pix resizer to make the changes.

Contributions are still welcomed.

Thanks.

Hi, just a tip for the PIXresizer. Remember to tick one of the smaller percentages for the actual physical size of the image. Many forget to do this & it can nearly half the KB’s again.

Good luck.
