Hi guys!

After a few months since the first and last time I asked for your comments here is my site again. Have changed many things!
Would really appreciate different views on it.

Here it is: http://www.nzbrtours.com

Many thanks in advance,

Pretty slick!

Tours and tourism seems to be in the wind (I'm doing one too!).

I appreciate the fact you were able to get all the important stuff up front. I am still waiting on copy and some other things so I can have an idea how to best lay it out, but I can tell you from the tourist side of things, having it on the first page works best (since you can never count on good connection when surfing away from home).

it's a winner in my book. I went through everypage and if I was going to NZ I would contact you. Think about video in your web page. Video is being used by all the players now, and I'm sure your testimonials would be great in video. It's easy, fun and affordable.
Great Job,

Thanks Vasili and Magoo,

I'm glad you liked it!

This was my idea indeed: to have all the main info on the front page. People would know straightaway how much would cost a 1-day tour or a 14-day tour!

The testimonials are also real! I have a guest comment book that I take with me during the tours. People write on it. Then I scan them! This way it's 100% true with the pax hand writing! (not like those made up comments!).

Video is also a good idea. Thanks. Do you know the easiest way to create one and set it up on the page?

(more comments on the site are welcome!!)

Cheers,

Hi, looking good. Couple of images wanted a little bit of work. Just to get rid of the template lines that were sticking up. Not sure if these will help. The qualmark was just a bit heavy on the KB's as well.

Good luck.

Great.

I will definately use your tour when I visit New Zealand.

Thanks zuriatman!

Great help Collectors! I've changed the size of the logo in all the pages and they are all loading much faster!
I wish blue voda could come up with a way for us to publish all the pages with a press of a button instead of going one by one...but I'm very happy with it anyway!

Cheers,

Hi, No problem!
They do make a way to update common parts of your site with just one change with the Navals .php method.

Good luck, its all looking good.

Hey your site is looking great. Well set out and flows nicely. I like the colours as well. And indeed it's good to see a site that has prices that are easy to find. Well done.

Thanks philipc,
Next mission will be to find some space on the front page to put a video. A guess, or a few guess, giving their impressions about the tour on a video.

Cheers,

Hi, the video is a great idea, but its not a good idea to have it load on when visitors come to your front page. It will bog down your entry page & have visitors leaving because they think the page is locking up or taking to long to load. Your quite often better having an area of the site for just videos. Everyone will know that this area may take a little longer.

Good luck.

An other great idea! The comments page will perfect for that!
Thanks Chris!
