Please, I need to know what you think about my website, tx

Post by Josep »

I am new to this forum and the truth is that I find it very interesting and I am learning a lot from you all. I hope I can go to contribute.
Please see my website and give me your honest opinion. I am thinking of changing it (it has many years) and highly rank your contributions.
Thank you!.

Hi Josep,
Welcome to the forum. I'm afraid your site looks very old and unispiring to me. I can't get past the bad English on the site and the fact that it isn't clear what you are offering - do you own or manage all the apartments? Are they all part of one building? Are there shared facilities? It is a bit busy with no clear pricing either. Some of the apartments have quite nice photos, Racó del Raval,for example, but others look awful, Balcó del Raval. If you really want to appeal to the UK market, I'd get a proper translation done at least!

We have to agree. Without knowing the full layout and equipment here is one stab at rewriting the English for one property.
Lluna del Raval

The apartment is situated in a 19th century building, right in the heart of the neighbourhood of the Raval, the historical part of the City of Barcelona.
It has 50 m2, divided into four rooms: The main room is a dining room with an American style kitchen. The kitchen comes equipped with vitro ceramics hob, extractor, refrigerator, dish washing detergent, microwave, washing and dry machines. The all the rooms have high ceilings many with exposed wooden beams. There us a balcony overlooking the street below.
The flat is equipped for 4/6 people.
The living room has two person sofas which convert into two beds, a table, a TV,DVD and a stereo. In addition there is a glass topped dinning table. For your comfort the flat comes equipped with air conditioned for the summer and heating for the winter. There is a shower room. Two bedrooms are fitted with a double bed in each.
The flat has natural light all the day.

I also agree the website looks dated. But living in Spain we recognize that is some thing that a lot of property owners here have. I also know that things like American Style kitchens do not translate may be kitchen or kitchenette. That will depend on the size.
Regarding coding I run the front page through this website and found a lot of errors.

I am also a newbie so don't feel bad :P When I first upload your site I didn't know what to click or go. You have too many photos next to each other. There is some text at the bottom that needs to be written in bold font so I can read it. By the way my site is new as well.
