Hi All
Just joined this forum today. This is our third year renting our villa on the Costa del Sol. My Husband designed and built the site, he also 'tweeks' it for the search engines. Would be interested to hear your reviews.
Another site to review!

Crystal,
I like it! Very clean and clear, lots of interesting stuff! I don't mind scrolling down the home page - if visitors are interested in reading more, I think they'll scroll down, so long as you say enough on the first 'screen' to involve them.
As a near neighbour, please have a look at my site!

Hi Chalky
Liked your site, not cluttered and all the info at hand at the top...the drop down menus are a great idea.
Wow...! checked your availability calendar how did you manage to have Oct-Dec fully booked!! Your website obviously sells for you!

I find the homepage has too much going on, my first reaction is one of confusion as to where to look. When I do get my bearings and start scrolling down, there is a sort of split screen effect going on, with a column of text on the left competing with the one on the right. I feel like I should use one eye for each. I think you would be better off with one column, and a simplified design up top.
This paragraph occupies a prime spot on your homepage ‘above the fold’ (before you have to scroll down):
“We hope you find all the information and pictures about our holiday villa including the local area and activities on this web site to be useful and informative. Please browse through all the pages. If you cannot find the answer to your query then please do not hesitate to contact us by “
What it should be doing is telling me what you are offering and why I should be interested. This is where your key selling points should be listed.
The text needs paragraph breaks – a line of space between paragraphs – to make it easier to read.
After the homepage I find the site works really well – the information is better organised, less cluttered, good pics and plenty of informative text.
