Please take a look at my travel website

13 years ago

You have a really nice site, very functional and full of information. You must be getting/expecting lots of traffic from different regions, so I like the choice of languages to display the site in. I would consider changing the placement of your Google & Twitter icons to near the top as their current placement is a little distracting. I love your blog, I think it is very useful & engaging. When I searched for you on Google you popped up near the top, kudos. It's awesome that you have a newsletter, and I think you have a great site!

Thanks

Thanks for your time to take a look at my website!

Highly appreciate!
I think too that i must change my social icons to somewhere else. Maybe above the newsletter or in the top as you said.

Thanks

You have a nice travel site. I like to color combination. It would be great if there is an About page and the Contact Form in contact us was already expanded

Your site looks great! However, I noticed that among your paragraphs of words, there are too many links to various areas of your website. In my opinion, it looks a bit ugly to have that many words with links. Nonetheless, you have a nice design there!

I agree. With so many links opening in the same window, people will soon be lost on your website and eventually lose interest. The design looks good. I'll suggest you get a larger and more professional logo and the white texts on the main navigation bar actually confuses me. I know you're trying to explain further but it actually works to the other side. Home, Explore... pretty much explain what it is about very well.

Thanks

I change the menu details and already remove the most of the links in the main page. But with the white text in the main menu i think it looks more good. I don't now.

I think i like my logo

If you know where the original is locatedm and you have "write" permissions on that file, then the answer it: YES YOU CAN ! (oops, sorry, watched too much elections sfuff lately).

Love Italy, so your site definitely gave me the itch to look for a plane ticket. Hopefully, self control prevailed. Still, wasn't easy.

Dont know if someone mentioned this, but I'd change the proportions on the home page from 50-50 (the split of the body text) to what you have on the Corniglia page, for example. In other words, the left side "prepare for..." takes too much real-estate in my view, so I'd give it half of what it has right now (or make it 30-60)

here's an example of proportions which seem to work for me:
airtransat.ca

It's easy for me to change the proportions but It's one of the most important part of the site the booking search engine! Maybe I try it to see! About favicon I locate the default but simply don't change! Something else happen! I hope to figure it out soon

Thanks for your time!

I like it! This isn't really a tip, just a suggestion, but on your header "WELCOME TO THE CINQUE TERRE" might look more professional if it was designed, or part of your logo. But, your website looks awesome.

Hi Speedy,
I like your website too.
It has a nice clean and polite stlye.
The Slider looks very nice.
There are just a few details you should correct. The previous responses gave you a hint already.

But the cosmetic details I am talking about are:
- change the Joomla favicon for one created by yourself
- the Subscribe orange button, is not vertically centered.

All the rest look harmonious.

Congratulations!

Cheers
Alex

Hi there Speedakias. I have a quick question. Is this a wordpress site? If so, how did you go about offering the translation of the text? I am trying to do the same but have no idea how.

I like the website. It looks modern and nice. The color combination is also good.

I noticed that there is an image (of stats counter) that's not loading in the footer.
Is it just me or is it a temporary bug?

It looks ok for me! Both desktop and IPad

Small tip: On your guides page and blog page, you have adverts on the left.

The guides and adverts cannot be missed. Its just not the first thing the eye may prefer to see. Further more in terms of readability, it makes the eye have to shift unnaturally to start reading the content.

Ive noticed that you have widgets on the left (or ads beyond the page fold) but that is not distracting like the colourful ads thus its still easy for the eyes to find the content with minimul effort.

On the whole its excellent. Well done.

Thanks for your tip. I may change the position of the ads in the blog.
