Very slow loading time. Attempted to check it out twice, just gave up and pushed the back button. You might want to do something about it, use image sprites or remove flash if you're using it.

No loading issues for me, so maybe you had a blip?

Overall, site looks alright. Not too sure with the text of "Follow us on social network" doesn't read as very good English, when you are advertised as a UK company. Also "Chat with Admin". Sounds very techy and unfriendly.

For me, and just a personal observation, it does look a bit bloggy, unless this was the intention, and the pic of the beach on the home page takes up so much space. If that pic is the main hook to get me to read on, then it doesn't work for me.

I'd have the pic smaller, and maybe a slideshow to really wet my appetite with some stunning local photos. From scenery to bustling markets, beaches, elephants, erm, thats my inspiration exhausted

Hope that helps.

Website look is good, title optimize and can support more keywords if you want to select. Menus seams okay to me and website is have amount of content to support for ranking on search engine.

Over all your website is good to rank on search engine....

Took over 30 seconds to load for me too just now.

Missing calls to action, and other stuff that will aid conversion.

Is it a wordpress or joomla template?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks, I switched off the flash as suggested. I'm not sure if it has made my site faster but no one ever said it was slow before.

Regards,
Fran

Hi,

It's Joomla/Virtuemart template. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it though. It doesn't have enough features that I need such as font colors and styles. I've been searching for suitable extensions in Joomla Extension Directory but there are so many extensions in the JED, it's confusing. Does anyone know suitable Joomla extensions to make my travel website look better?
