SecondCasa - customer service nightmare

Looking for advice please. We have an old (free)listing with SecondCasa which they refuse to remove. Its several years old and pretty out of date (rates,facilities,etc) despite numerous efforts to get them to remove it (surely we decide what sites we should be on!) we cannot get them to action. Thou...

Website Review

We are very grateful for feedback from LMH - and have asked most years for feedback on our websites given that tastes change and what holidaymakers look for varies and evolves (as does design and technology!) If anyone would like to comment on site below we would be most grateful - I have lost my ab...

Updates

We use Moonfruit and designed and built the sites ourselves with no technical experience whatsoever. We use HL for the calendar and are able to keep the sites updated on an 'evolutionary' basis rather than anything too radical. Whilst we dont get a huge amount of bookings directly (maybe 20% in Irel...

Easter Rates

Some advice please.We had not intended letting our French (Languedoc) rental for Easter but have now decided to do so and wonder if anyone has a view as to where an Easter booking fits in the overall pricing scheme. Easter is late this year -April 24 I think. Is it the same as (Mid Season) May/June ...

Website Design

We have used a package called Moonfruit to build the two sites below and although a little time consuming (you must 'map out' your plans with pen and paper befor rushing in!) we found it generally intuitive and worthwhile.

Flash for SEO

We have used Moonfruit for both our sites with narrow search terms and seem to do quite well.

what a mess

We despair of these guys - we were listed with Holidaylets for years and neither of our properties have yet been transferred. We asked for a refund but were told no. No amount of email communication warrants a response of any meaningful description - they really are too big to care!!! Bottom line - ...

The menu should be on the home page - The Gites, The area, How to get here, prices etc should all be easily accessible from the begininng 2. Mind your fonts - script type fonts are...
