Hi Graham

Sorry for the delay. I used my own images, and yes I am sure the tutorial is a little out of date but hopefully it is still useful.

Any other questions let me know, I'll try and respond a little quicker!

Thanks

Ian

Hi Graham That is worth watching as well, but the one I used was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi61nWqeKf8&feature=youtu.be It is over 3 hours long but takes you through the whole thing. I found it very good and at the end just took what I had and converted it to a holiday apartment webs...

Hi Pengman (sorry, couldn't find your name!) I used to use Accelerate and it was good, but I followed a course that used that theme. I now use a theme called Ultra by Themify and it is brilliant, so much more flexibility and it has a "builder" built in which makes putting the site together...

Hi both

Thank you for the reviews, much appreciated.

I have corrected the typos and removed "bed" (we used to sleep 4 but now only two).

Will have a look at the other comments regarding costs, GDPR, links etc.

Thanks again.

Hi all

Thanks again for the feedback. I have stopped the pulsating circle while the page loads. Regarding load speed I have not yet done any optimisation so I expect that to improve.

Other suggestions appreciated, looking at them now in more detail.

thanks again.

Thank you both for the comments. I will look at all those suggestions. I have tried to design it to be "mobile friendly", not just responsive but to be easy to use on a mobile device where users typically just want to scroll down a single page to find all the info they need. With that in m...

We went with M+S towels, just down from their top of the range ones. We also went for white, we just feel guests expect white, even if they can be more difficult to keep clean.

We have one in Brixham and are very pleased with how it is going. We think Brixham is the best option within Torbay as there is so much going on here. We have been told the population of Brixham in the winter is about 18000, in the summer it is 80000. Brixham is a working fishing port so unlike a lo...
