Hi Mr Benjamin,

To me as a traveller from across the world, it looks amateurish.
You need to center your page in the browser set your alignments
for your photos, shapes and images.
Your info at the bottom of the page are too far down with too much space in between. Move them just below your shape.

The Colors are a bit gaudy for my taste, I would prefer if you want to use a lot of colours, do not use strong contrasting colors but instead use light pastel colors so they do not clash with message you are trying to present.

Your overall idea and concept is good, presentation is good. Work on it more to present it in a more professional manner. To achieve this go surf
the internet to other travel sites and some in Asia to refresh your ideas.

Good start, I agree with the post above the colors are overwhelming. Is this site meant to promote your business? It looks as if you made it to caiter to children in that the fonts (though playfull) do not look professional. Stay with basic web freindly fonts for the links and captions on your photos. Center the pages and set the page widths to 800 - 1000.

Hi, Ditto with above, the pages also needs to made small as there is quite a bit of side scroll.It seem like you might of also either not had very good images to begin with or you might of over compensated to make them web friendly. Keep it up! It will come right.

Hi Mr Benjamin,

As I tend to agree with the above, the way I see it you have a challenge. It's too bright and busy for us but you want it that way. Bright, colorful and full of fun is what the Carribean is all about, right?

Firstly I would urge you to not wholesale abandon your own gut about what the site should feel like but rather consider our suggestions as to how you can moderate it.

When I first drafted our site I overdid everything. Colors, font size and type all added up to be too much and over time I began to see its garishness and took steps to tone it down but never abandoned my original concept entirely.

Do center your page, do be sure to use web friendly fonts, do reduce it's width to no more than 1000 pixels as these are things that speak immediately of professionalism. Play around with your colors and design to find a compromise that will entrance your visitors in its own unique way. The suggestion to view many other sights of a similar nature is a very good one. You will find things to emulate and other ways to set yourself apart.

You have done much that is right and a lot of good and hard work shows for a first effort.

Best of luck!

Mr Benjamin
Sedona put it perfectly, I did not mean for you to abandon the overall concept. As he said find a compromise that you feel comfortable with, maybe tone done the colors a bit (you could make them a little more transperent that would make it easier on the eyes) you can still have a fun site, even with better font. I think your off to a great start, don't feel we are tearing down all your hard work we are just trying to offer non-bias suggestions about what we feel you could do to make your site attract more customers. Keep up the good work, and I'll check back later.

Hi,

As it was said above......I like the 'water' background but it doesn't go at all with the very strong green you are using. If the Caribbean is about relaxation as you say in your site, you should think about colours related to that.

Good luck!
