Good day to you all,

I would like you guys to have a look at
Dumaguete City - Negros Oriental - The City of Gentle People

and give a feedback, suggestions, critics, etc.

The site is an infopage about the city I am living in and the region it is located. Purpose is to get "all" info together on one website, serving tourists interested in a visit as well as locals looking for office-numbers etc.

At present I have around 350 content pages (with 250 more to be posted as of now), so the structure with this amount is a bit complicated, but I believe I made it logical.. News and Galleries are not the highest priority.

Other than most sites here, monetizing is also not the priority, it is really for informational purpose and as long it pays for the server and an occasional beer I am fine.

Looking forward to your replies.

    I like this site, it looks good, and nice and clean. The only thing I might suggest is using a different font for the titles, I think it will give it a little more character.

    Thanks for your feedback JaMoke,

    That is an "old" problem of mine. I am horrible with "font-picking". The one I use for h1 and h2 is not very nice, but good readable on smaller mobile devices. I think that is the only reason standing on the pro-site for it, though.

    Yes I agree the font could use some work. The font that is on the header picture sort of ruins what looks to be a nice picture.

    Also the "mirror" effect under the word Dumaguete at the very top is distracting to me. The rest of the page looks good, very appealing images.

    Thank you DWaters,

    The "font" in the header picture is actually a 6 x 2 meter (18x6 ft) wide signboard standing on the main square of the city. I tend to change the header picture according to the season, at present it is just summer and hot :-) . But I agree with you, the picture and the "signboard need work.

    Good advice with the mirror-effect. I need just something. Just the word "Dumaguete" looks too "flat". guess I need to play around a bit.
    Thanks again

    I would suggest using more appealing color scheme: Flat UI Colors.

    Also i must agree with IMhelper, the page is very slow and it could drastically increase your page's bounce rate.

      Thank you Tapdark,

      About colors
      As basically all half-way successful information-websites are white, I certainly will not use any color--schemes. I believe that is one of the "made up" pionts in many forums by webmasters, while the normal visitor prefers white and a strong color.

      Agree, site-speed needs some serious work
      Thanks

    The website looks great, but the header image can be little more improved, it does not match with the theme.

      Thanks for your feedback
      You are right. Anyway, it need to "survive" another month. We change it when the summer-season is over.
      Thanks
