Hi folks
We'd appreciate any feedback about our website.
(It's listed on my profile)
We have requested a self admin area, where we can update news, videos and a photo gallery.
I hope we've got it just about right (esp as we paid £'s for it )

I think it looks very professional, isn't too busy and clearly demonstrates the product.

Good luck with it

I wouldn't say its amazingly clear that its for Stag weekends.. or at least thats what the title of the page/sites says? There's no mention of stag weekends in the main content - right?

You need to tie those up better. As one of them is wrong (or seems to be!) at present. If its for SEO then you need content on the home page focused on that to or those who search for 'stag weekends' when faced with the home page will be a tad confused.

I'd also expect google to penalise you for such mismatched keta tag/page content.


With regards to the site you haven't asked for anything specific so I'm not going to comment - apart from one thing.

1. Why have the 2nd menu at the footer of the page? 'prices, how to book.." etc? It makes NO sense, that's not where people expect menu's to be.

Don't break with convention.

Have to agree with Jason here I am afraid.

The menu structure is not constant and would confuse some viewers. There is a reason menus go to the top and left...peeps know what they are for

Also, in agreement with Jason (again). The title is not the best place to cram unrelated phrases dude.

On the + side, the look and feel of the site is pretty good, just needs some work on the copy.

Thanks for your thoughts guys.
I'm new to this website stuff.
I thought the stag' parties etc bit on the tag of the home page didn't make sense either.
I'll get in touch with our developer to see what changes can be made.

Thanks again, good to get an informed opinion for a change

Tables for layout?!?!? Is your designer living in the Dark Ages...

That's by far the most noteworthy observation here. The site looks like its for diving expeditions or something. If I came to the site looking for stag parties, the chances are I would just hit the back button.

On the design - it's ok. It's not cutting edge, but its a lot better than what most people will get. If you've spent under £1,000 you can't have any complaints.

On the content - I don't know what sort of content people might be looking for, but I don't think your providing it. Also, nothing sticks out. Particularly not in relation to stag nights.

Tables for layout?!?!? Is your designer living in the Dark Ages...

Good observation. You can't grow with tables. A modern web developer really shouldn't be using them.

Stop swearing Gary...

In all seriousness, to clarify what is intended here for those that wonder why we say this.

Tables have a place in web design, that place is to display data for which they are intended.

Used for layout, it may compromise parsing efficiency of SE bots and ultimately hinder your SERPs...particularly in the case of incorrectly nested tables.

Err...I hope none of the ladies heard me....
