I finished this site a few days ago but I want the opinions of different sets of eyes than mine.

Its an accommodation in Chania Greece
http://www.sunrisestudioschania.com

The purpose of the site its to be appealing to the eye of the visitors and make them get interested in booking a reservation.

Any likes or dislikes or overall feeling you get from visiting it would be appreciated.

Here we go:


Home Page

• Pretty good general first impression although it is a bit dull. I realise it is called sunrise Studios but I still think that especially the grey is a bit too dull.
• The header is OK but I have serious problems of actually reading the links on that image background. Also the image is again a bit dull.
• The text is fine but you may consider having underlines on the hyperlinks.
• The images look great but i though you could maybe make them look a bit more like a photo with a different border around them. But as it is i have no complaints.
• On your footer I really don#'t understand the use of the links page link there?

Services Page

• The page looks nice and is consistent with the homepage (as are all your pages).
• You may like to have a bit more text.
• Also i think you should have a link in the content of that page to the reservations page.

Reservations Page

• The form to me seems to be a bit crowded. So you might like to space it out a bit more.
• For the phone number you might consider putting some instructions on there for english callers.
• I think an email address would also be quite a good idea. Because I think you shouldn't expect people to give (ie on the form) you what you arent willing to give them

Chania Page

• This also good but maybe just a bit more content although I can appreciate that this is not your choice.
• The image enlargement is also a great idea, although it can be a little slow.

Kalathas Page

• Nothing to say apart from what i have already mentioned.

Chania Map Page

• Nice use of the google map. Although a way of printing it would be good.
• I would like to be able to enlarge those images!

Travel info page

• This page strikes me as being the most boring. So maybe some images might go down well and a bit of a better layout.
• Your bullet icon... is really completely pointless because it just blends in. i would just remove it if I were you.
• Why are the addresses starting with "
  http://www.skyscanner.net/eur/flights/" not linked?

In General

• Good and very simple site!
• Maybe a bit dull
• I think some of the margin at the top of the page needs to be removed.
• Very neat coding.
• Teh translation also seems to work well (although I can't exactly test it )

I hope that helps you!

roryt (this time no mispellings)

Thanks for all the effort to give me a complete review. Its definetelly more than I expected.

I am not going to comment on all of them, since some choices are already made and am not going to change them this time , maybe on next revision.

What struct me most is when you ask about the links page ? what do you mean, I need a links page to exchange links with other sites. Are you proposing no links page or I should not put it there what would be your alternative ?

The google map I am not familiar with to have it printed as well.

Travel info is something that was put together in a rush, and it does need some imporvement.

I think I am going to need to improve the visibility of the links on top and uncrowding the contact form.

very helpfull review overall

(i was only kidding about the mispelling )

You might be able to try a style sheet for printing on that page. So that you can select just to print the content of the google map.

RE: the links page..

I see what you mean now... it was just that it wasn't up with the rest of the links but yes maybe it does make sense to have it down there.. thats for you to consider.

I am glad to have helped you

In your first paragraph, you need some minor alterations. 'self-catering family' should read 'self-catering, family', 'sighseeings' should read 'sights'. chania in the last line should have an upper case 'C'.
I would proofread all your text for any similar mistakes.
I would also suggest using different images. I'm sure people want to believe that the Mediterranean is permanently sunny and your images do not give this impression.
