Wanted: Website Review Gites.co.uk

[Sound]

We have now started to beta test our new website Gites.co.uk

If anyone has a French holiday-let please add it to the website for free for the first year.

We would also love to have any feedback good or bad from anyone that adds a property to the site

We have more feature to come in the following months.

Thank you for looking

I would use a bright colour to distinguish buttons and menu items. Orange is my preference.

Also, do the British actually search on Gites? Or holiday properties? I would search on villas.

Nice site Simon. Personally, on the property listing page I would have the main image above the text on the overview page as it looks a bit sparse if the owner hasn't put a huge description in.

nice site, love the map graphic

One thing from me is i'd remove the category listing count as one thing i've learned from running a few sites is that categories with 'no listings' dont get visited, obv no need as its displaying 0 listings.

Thank you for all the comments so far

Good idea Grant think we will change image placement to cover any short descriptions

Also agree that the flash map is great, really nice how it's linked to the navigation links too.

Might be worth trying to get your "free 12 months" offer above the fold

Nice site, just to let you know the currency converter isn't working.
