Default Hotel Website

As promised in another thread here it is, a website Ive been contracted to build and design for a hotel.

Personally there are a few things that I dont like which the client insisted on. For instance the large menubuttons (although I have to agree they fit in well with the design) and also the fact that they wanted the header as an image and no text on the front page (all to do with SEO).

Anyway, here it is:

go to Phil Johns Imaging - Plymouth Website and Graphic Design

and then add:

/parkswebsite/

to the end of my domain.

(may seem wierd me linking to it like this but its just incase it appears in google.)

Phil

looking good so far.. make sure you validate ALL your pages.

Here's the info on the main page:

CSS: GOOD!!

Markup Validation: FAILED 13 errors

Here's a couple clues.. use "&" not &
also, make sure your plugin js and such are valid PRIOR to installing them on your site.

The only things I would change are..

Code:

Seems to be coded wrong I'm thinking the extra " at the end could be the issue.

Also the picture of the rooms aren't very accesable at all, you have to scroll down to click a thumb and the picture appears at the top, then you have to scroll down again, always better to keep these things above the fold. Lightbox would have been a much better way to display them.

Hope this helps a little

EDIT: cut down on your meta keywords, google will not read B&B or B and B

Thanks Tommy, I will look into it.

I agree now you've said it however they also wanted different information with each photo.

Thanks

You could have used a pop up like here....

Web Design Portfolio UK

Then you have plenty of space to put info and they popup in the same place no matter where you are.
