A focused, task‑first cleanup will help more than a complete redesign. Common feedback in this thread points to navigation clutter and oversized menus; fixing those plus clarifying the primary user tasks (search/book, deals, contact) delivers the most immediate usability wins.

  • Reduce choices in the top-level nav and surface the few actions most users want. Group related items and use short, plain labels so users recognize tasks quickly.
  • Promote company info and contact methods into the global header or a clearly labeled footer link so trust signals are easy to find (addresses, phone, partner logos).
  • Tame large dropdowns: limit visible rows, add column headings, and show only commonly used categories. If a mega-menu is needed, make it scannable with clear headings and visual separation.
  • Make the value proposition and primary call-to-action prominent on the landing area (one clear action). Improve search visibility and defaults for common queries.
  • Improve visual hierarchy and page weight: increase contrast for links, reduce decorative clutter around CTAs, and optimize images/scripts for faster load times.

Validate changes with quick, low-cost tests: first-click and five-second tests, one moderated session with 3–5 new users, and short A/B runs for any major nav changes. Use established heuristics and testing methods as a checklist (see Nielsen Norman Group on usability heuristics and testing) and check page performance with PageSpeed/Lighthouse before and after changes (NNG heuristics, Usability testing overview, PageSpeed Insights).

Take ’s header suggestion and pair it with a simpler, task-centered approach like prefers. Remember ’s point: familiarity masks issues, so test with new users to see real navigation problems.

Tips to Make Your Website User Friendly

I think the "Partners" and "About Us" menu should be on the header so that uses could easily find out about your company. And your drop-down menu are too big

I prefer the site with its no frills approach.

To be honest it looks okay to me. I am able to find what I'm looking for relatively easily. :P
