Hmm .. it's missing 2 of my favourite languages:

Tupi-Guarani (ideal, if you lose yourself in the Amazon Jungle)

and

Sanskrit (ok perhaps too far-fetched, but love this ancient language)

@kendalcottages I believed that too. Surely, if a site is well planned with all the necessary info, the person would cease reading it and say pick up the phone or send an email. But recently I came across a curious finding. I've volunteered to help with a Health Clinic. They had a very high Bounce r...

Hi Pete The 'mobile' was just an analogy. Possibly a bit too extreme. But meaning to reduce text by more than 1/2 say. Google Analytics http://www.google.com/analytics/ will show the statistics of your visitors and will also include if they are using a mobile phone Check your Bounce Rate in Google A...

the text is too long

summarise as much as possible.

split into sections.

the most attractive selling points coming first.

Twitter is powerful. I am surprised, although I am very new to it. But in 3 days I fully realised how much power it can harness as a marketing tool. It feels almost as powerful as SEO. But the advantage of SEO is that once you do all your hard work , you can relax almost for good. In Twitter (and ot...

I have to design, well program more like it - a Booking Calendar. It's going to be so incredibly hard :( Specially since PHP / MySQL is not my forte. In fact they are my very weakest!

Probably will publish it somewhere, so people can share. But those 2 above, are the only I know of - one of my sites are li...

Hi Joyce

The arrows:

are designed in a way - it invites people to click.

'If it appears or feels like a link, then make it clickety so" (Anon)

Only request links from sites (or directories 'hint hint') that do not require a link back Source your links that way. Don't link to anyone - you want people in, not out. And doing that will increase your Page Rank also. If you absolutely need to link to something then let it be a service like Googl...

Very boring ..

Boring - because I can't find anything wrong with it !

So well done. Nice site

Hi, I would lose the w3c validation badges. It means nothing to most people, unless you are a web designer. Also your property is on Spain. It took me a while to suss out that, so the fact that is in SPAIN should be the first thing a person will read or see. Should be loud and clear. Lastly, Never h...
