Thanks for your fantastic feedback. You are in indeed right, the properties are located on the Costa del Sol (southern Spain). We will be looking to get a lot more properties on board in several stages, at the moment we`re looking to get more site visitors, but it`s a bit of a chicken and egg situation.
Anyway, we`ve made some initial changes based on your suggestion by changing those two headers on the homepage. We are planning to change the homepage layout a bit in the next month to make it feel a little more user friendly.
I agree that the FAQ page needs looking at so I think we`ll redesign that and make it clearer and prettier to use, rather than just plain text.
Thanks again for your feedback it`s very valuable for us!costadelvillas6/14/2009 2:47 PM
From an SEO point of view....
When you want to place a hyperlink in the body add "http://www" to the complete your address.
Also, check with your designer...my report says you missed AltTags on four photos on your landing page.
The AltTag missing reminder was merely an alert to see if there was merit to it or an oversight.
I agree wholeheartedly that it becomes important when photos and images are important content on your site and you want (i.e.) Google Image Search to index them.
