Hi Capn'

Nice site and very informative. I personally like the large lettering ..easy to read. Pictures are loading fairly fast but if you haven't resized them...consider doing so to make you pages load faster. You Captain page has some overalpping with the pictures on words. You rates page ...might consider something like this...it's easier fora person to get to the point

Up to Six Passengers - US$150.00 for 2 hours
Additional hour - US$ 75.00 per hour
Larger groups please contact our office.

IT doesn't have be liek that but something along those lines to make it easier on your visitors who want a quick look at prices.

Living on a 13.5 meter yacht myself, I can appreciate your services.....
Your site is well laid out and I wish you many safe passages....

You might want to change the title of your home page using some of your keywords....and try not to start your title and description with your name.

Use 3 or 4 key words and finish with your name....

good luck Skipper, and reduce those pics..................

Appreciate the feedback- not sure how to resize pictures. I know this is not the how to forum, can I get directions where to go?
Thanks

Download the Pix resizer from the BV doanloads site and use that ..it's very easy...just load you picture and then choose the size you want to resize to and save. Good luck. The pix resizer is free anda great tool ...we all benefit from it.

Hi Captain, Looks good I'll say your getting there.

pix resizer >> http://www.vodahost.com/pix.htm

Are those pictures of your boat, or just "placeholders" until you can pop yours in??
(I was getting mixed up between the sail, the tug, and the container vessels!)

Looks great. Nice simple easy to read design. What does the boat look like? It would be great if we could see the boat that you use.

Nice site. I could not get "contact" either. The pics also loaded slowly. One foto did not load on the Captain button.

harris44 · #12 06-27-2006, 03:28 AM

Thanks for all the input. Have been doing the pics resizer thing, also exploring in my photoshop elements- I'm learning. Contact page not up yet, and pictures of my boat are hard to take when the camera is with me at the helm- hope to have them soon.
Thanks to all, harris

Ok, throw me overboard after this.
Well done Skipper!

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailin' man,
the skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day,
for a three hour tour, a three hour tour………
The weather started getting rough,
the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew, (your friends at Voda Host)
the Minnow would be lost; the Minnow would be lost.

A couple of things:
-I think your email is captain@albatrossmariineservices.com delete www.
-"Boat and Rates" on NavBar if you downsize one fontsize it will fit better.
Your site is Albatross... why not change the pic of the stork for the one from the albatrosses in 'Cruises' ?

Very nice photos. Again good job!

Mr. Pure · #14 06-27-2006, 07:13 AM

Nice job and great pics. I live close to Fort Mott in Jersey---I'll have to keep an eye out on the river for the "Nicole Lynne". Good job!!

Harris: Great site and you are a super photographer! Love the sea gulls. You have already received a lot of feedback here, so I won't go there. Just wanted to jump in and tell you what a super job you've done, for a Captain that is, lol!! Have a great time!

harris44 · #16 06-27-2006, 02:09 PM

Mr. Pure, my business is a part time venture. My full time job is driving the ferry boat from Delaware City to Fort Delaware and FORT MOTT. Hope my site is loading faster- redid some photos.
Thanks
Harris
