Scared new member!! New website....
Hi all,
What I'm scared of is all of you looking at my website in horror!! It's the first site I've ever designed and it's nowhere near finished yet but could I have some feedback on how I'm doing? Will initially just be for family and friends so isn't yet on public show.....fortunately!

Thank you!

Hi Kathy,
I think it's excellent. I'm not too keen on the background colour, but it's a matter of personal taste. You've got all the right information and pictures to support the words, and your 'Places to visit' page is great. You've put in the right links, so people can move around the site easily.
Apart from the background colour , if I was going to change anything it would be the double use of the word 'spectacular' in the introduction, and the photo of the dining room, which makes the room look rather narrow. Ideally I would also remove the detailed instructions on how to get there, and send these separately to guests, but as you are presently aiming the site at friends and relly's, in that context it's okay.

I think it is a great site - loaded quickly on my poor old dial up connection. All the information I needed was there and an easy to read font . I only have one problem and that is the background colour - too strong for me and I feel it detracts from the photos especially the views. Well done - I hope you'll post again when it's finished.

Thank you Fraise, we're over there again next week so I'll try and take some more photos, maybe I could borrow someone's wide-angle lens - that might help!
And Paul......... not sure what to say! But it is on an estuary!!
The sea is just round the corner though, but I can't say it overlooks the sea when it's not really true.
Don't the pictures show you how beautiful an estuary can be? And mud flats are very attractive to birdy people........!

Paul,
Yes pop-up blocker was the problem - thanks!
As for the dreaded E word, I suppose it all depends on your previous experience of E's!! Maybe I should call it a river, the French call it the sea, on maps they don't seem to differentiate between rivers, the sea and E's!! The word in French isn't very pretty so we need to call the house something else anyway.......it currently has no name!
Thank you all for your input, very helpful.
Right, must go and change that dreaded lilac background!!
