Website Review and Suggestions

**pinmyplace** · 11-26-2007, 03:08 AM

G’day!
Welcome to next89.com – more than just your average travel guide – a great place to plan your trip Downunder and find a few mates before you even leave home.

Tested:

We tested the website in IE7, Firefox, Safari and Opera. IE6 and below support unfortunately no .png graphics (so it looks not very nice).

The whole site is XHTML 1.0 Transitional and w3c css valid.

At the moment the site is in english, but we have plans to do it in german, korean and japanese...

Thank you for feedback and best regard
Jérôme

Initially it looks a great site and the graphics are pretty good. However as a visitor I am not sure where to go or what to look at.
The front page is too busy.
Simplify it and ease the user into the content.

Thank you for the feedback.

No 2 month since I was here last time, and we could change a lot (include a complete new design).

Also there is a lot more content and information available...

Look forward for more feedback

Thank you

Sth is wrong, but i cannot tell you what exactly...

Well, i think that content's background should be brighter, 10 underlined links in the center of the screen concentrate user on them... Increase line-height or remove underlining. And i don't know why u r using borders at the top of page. YOu can simply remove them. Then you have to differentate captions from text. Increase font-size of your captions, make them visible

increase photos' contrast
that's what i think...

Thank you very much, I changed a few things, that with the links in the centre was a good advice, I will think about it how I will changed.

Cheers

Link should now work, DNS was not ready...

A great looking site.
One criticism on the right of your home page you have a picture gallery. The pictures link to various locations, surely you should have the name of the location under each picture, I don't really want a mystery tour, lol.
Other than that, well done.

There is a lot of text - work on readability. Play with line space and line length. You want to make it easy for the user to get just start reading. Info sites like this, people work through them very fast and you need to engage them into the text
