  • New Site Review

    After my 'wildly funky' first site, please could you crit or comment on site No2 www.addotours.com. This one is closer to the norm and pretty mild in comparison.

    Cheers,
    Andrew

      Re: New Site Review

      Hi, nice looking site. There’s a nice element of comedy with some of the animal images.
      Couple of picky bits to have a look at.
      On the main menu, you have to search to find the link to the next page. IE: it’s underneath the text.
      Not sure if I have missed something? But couldn’t see a home button once inside the site.
      In the image gallery, if you want to browse the images by clicking on the thumbnails. When it get to a long image you loose this facility & have to keep swapping back to the other menu on the right.
      But overall I like the feel & style of the site. Its not what you would expect for this type of site, but works really well.

      Good luck.
      Regards Chris.

        Hi Chris,

        You are dead-on regarding the buttons (one of little problems you notice 5mins after uploading a site) tommorrows problem now...
        The gallery needs to be steamlined as i've gone to flash in an attempt to reduce or stop "picture thieves". I appreciate the comments about the style and feel.

        The folks at the office will laugh because we have a over used expression "think out side the box" which in our line of work quickly became "drink outside the box" and little i do is to the norm...

        Cheers,
        Andrew

          I like the site! I think you must be still working on it? On the Tours page the cards didn't fill in, and on a couple of other pages, seemed like some things were missing. I really like the pictures and the way you used them. My kind of site!!

            Thanks Mike,

            Yes, this site as per my 1st is for a mate and i'm waiting on the content for a page or two.

            We are presently on a fishing Safari up the South Africa coast and i have been promised the content tomorrow while sitting around the fire, sipping on a cold one.

            Cheers,

                PlayItByBeer...but don't play with my beer. hee hee

                I think it looks fabulous! Especially like "Mr. G. Raffe".

                The image of the elephant stepping out of the frame is wonderful.

                It all looks perfect!

                    Hi PlayItByBeer,
                    I like your new design, I think your page is a little too big.
                    Some viewers have a small screen, so they will have to scroll a little bit, I think the message doesn't reach a potential customer if is distracted by searching for issues on a page or the loading is to slow etc.
                    I think you have plenty of room to re-size your page.
                    Also, a lot of people they keep their screen with the favorite option open, and the screen will be even smaller
                    Ciao

                      Thanks guys and girls for all the comments so far.

                      If you are viewing this post, undecided if Blue Voda is the way forward.(as i was 2 months ago) GO FOR IT!!! If it can make a 'beer salesman" with almost zero web knowledge look alright, it will certainly work for you... and it's loads of fun being part of the BV family.

                      Cheers,
                      Andrew

                            It has plenty to do with you guys (and girls) and the knowledge shared on this forum.

                              I love it!! I like the way you think outside the box. Your booking page is great with the hands, the elephant, G Raffe, etc. Great Job. I like this much better than your first one!
