I have tweaked this site for the umpteenth time and finally think it is ready to fly. I will open it up for another round of honest feedback, which I might add I took to heart from earlier posts and made alot of the revisions based on these.

Anyway, take a peek and fire away with your comments.

It's looking VERY good!

I think I've only got one suggestion this time around ;)

In the "hotels" section, maybe you could list the alphabet as anchor links, so you have a quick way to get down the list (so if I wanted to find the Wyndham Resort I could just click 'W' instead of scrolling all the way down). The "Orlando" and "Kissimmee" anchor links are nice enough, but they still leave a lot of scrolling (because you have so much quality content). Just an 'ease of use' suggestion...it really isn't even much of an inconvenience to scroll.

Other than that (and those two lines above and below the nav bar ;) ), I think it looks pretty spiffy.

Good suggestion on the alpha idea. I'll implement it today. I still need to finish up the Kisimmee Links so I can do it concurrently.

As for those lines,I confess that I don't see the same thing you do.

What is great about having a functional page sample now is that I can use it for my soon to come 15 other hotel sites.

I realle appreciate the input. And by the way, the sig aint bad either.

I don't much care to comment on commercial sites, unless for a fee or meal or taxi fair home, but you have much improved since of initial forum critique request. Good for you. Your site navigation is very functional and key to the sites usefulness. Having said that, do not let your user/surfer get away or lost. When they select airlines do not link/transfer the surfer to a different site, provide a new window, they will not then get lost (contact with your site remains in the background). And when they close the airline window your site and navigation are restored. Same applies to cars and weather. Your location/Orlando map is OK, but can do better, if you integrate it with a geographical location site that enables Orlando specific enlargements, and/or navigation/direction from any global location. If you own/webmaster the parktickets.com site it needs a body bgcolor, perhaps white, it now defaults to the surfers browser background setting. Next step. Get ride of all those ugly link lines (use a CSS link decoration when hovered).

I must admit the finished product looks good. I will always add , remove, and edit the content but for the most part I am happy with the overall site. The best part for me is that I can use this layout for my other sites yet to come.

COMING SOON! - Las Vegas Hotels and Resorts......

Seems your site has really evolved since my last peek.

"hotels" page has a repeated last sentence.

Still looking for geographical references, perhaps a downtown map.
