Re: New site

Lynne,

Some more explanation on the cottage rental is needed. Who rents it out? 
Why would someone want to rent it?

I'd put a picture of the cottage on the main page. I like the graphic 
you have with the globe and the island, but it didn't convey your 
purpose to me. (At first I thought it was a page about the Isle itself, 
and not specifically focused on this cottage rental.)

I like the celtic knots as bullets; they go with the site theme.

I'd lose the counter. Most professionals don't display these to the 
user. It implies a focus on "see how many people came to look at my 
page", and not on the page itself.

The blue of the background image on the subpages clashes with the rest 
of the site. I'd personally lose it entirely. If you're dead set on it, 
choose a less garish color. And explain the meaning of Eilean a cheo.

tariff.htm: I don't like having the dashes in their own table column.

places.htm: not enough definition between the light background and the 
sky on the pictures, so you get a visual bleeding effect. Also, photos 
usually work better as JPGs than GIFs; anything that has to dither 
should be done as a JPG.

howto.htm: the map is nice, but you should also include written 
directions--especially because some viewers will have their images 
turned off.

One final word: geocities standard pages do not allow commercial sites. 
You're selling something (cottage rentals), so it's commercial. You may 
not get caught, and I don't know what would happen if you do, but I'd 
find a commercial server.

Good luck, Susan
