Default Check my website?

Hi,
I know there are still problems, some pages taking too long to download, and who knows what all else,
But
Can I get some critiques on this site? At least, so I know that it performs okay on the basics...
Thank you.

Seems to load ok? Most of the images are optimized ok. There is one or two that could be brought down a bit, but nothing major. IE: http://maravillamountain.com/Index%20silver%20back%20big%201%20(651%20x%201191) .jpg

And a few on this page. http://maravillamountain.com/special_rates.html

Some of the pages need centering & there is a bit of movement on menus & images on page transitions. But otherwise all coming along well.

Hi, I would add some pictures of the surrounding area as well, in an effort to make it as inviting as possible but overall you did a great job.

Hi All - thanks for feedback!

my responses and questions to you!

to Chris - yes, I will continue to work on sizes. How can I make the images and menus work better in transitions? Should I change the transition style? btw, can you check my sitemap? I'm not sure I've got it right.

to koolspace - by "surrounding area", do you mean various views of the property (which I have on other pps), or do you mean other areas in the town?

to night (Danny) - do you mean videos? because I don't have any videos...I'm not sure if/how other peoples' links might be affecting the load time?

If you have time to get back to me, great AND THANK YOU FOR COMPLIMENTS!

other suggestions out there?

Hi, you will have fun trying to line them up now. The best way to build a site is from a page that you have set up as a template with all the common elements in place, like menus, header, footers & so on. Then, lock this off & use this template for each page you want to add to the site.
You can only change this now by choosing 1 of your pages as a master & then bring up anther page on the BV screen & keep flicking between the two. (Said it would be fun) lol
Remember to use the same master every time.


Good luck.

mmyplace,

I would have liked to see some of the areas of interest shown on your main page. That's just my opinion.

Hi there ... I think you are off to a great start but it loads incredibly slowly. Something else I notice is that some of your pages are centred in the browser and some are not.

keep up the good work and good luck

Thank you all,
I've been working on the loading time, but obviously need to do more.
