new website

Post by annabo »

We are new to the holiday rentals market, but I'm impressed by the wealth of knowledge / information on this forum.

I'd be grateful if you could take the time to pass any comments on our new website:

www.sanroqueapartment.com

Thank you in advance

Lovely, lovely site! Easy to find prices, photos, rental agreement and contact information.

Unfortunately, since there is no availability calendar it would not make my short-list... because when I add non-availability-calendar-properties to my shortlist I have to keep a list of URLs/emails and wait for responses from those owners, then match the responses up with the properties and re-start my whole search (re-familiarizing myself with everything I originally found interesting) but only once I've finally gotten responses from enough non-calendar properties to make the re-start worthwhile.

(I did this once in my life. Never again.)

You have a lovely place, though. Congrats!

Looks great! Can't fault it. Easy to navigate and professional looking photographs.

Jolly good. Availability calendar would be a help.

I like the colour scheme - very easy on the eye. The pictures are very good - clear and informative. I have to agree about the font size and I don't find Times easy to read.

Overall though I found the site easy to use and full of clear detailed information - well done :)

Thank you all for your very positive replies. When it's your own website, it's difficult to look at it objectively.

Bookings have been slow, but now I'll put that down to the fact that we have only just started, and that we need to work on our advertising some more.

I also agree about the lack of an availability calendar, but I felt that at the beginning, it was better to have none at all than to have one showing full availability which might make people wonder what was wrong with it.

So, thanks for your comments - I feel reassured - and we'll keep working at it!
