Irish Holiday Home website

Hi All

I have been working on Irish Holiday Homes | Irish Holiday Accommodation direct from the Owners | Self Catering Holiday Property in Ireland | Featured Holiday Homes 1 and would like to hear your views on it.

The idea is for people to take control of renting their holiday property rather than go through a rental company. And also for renters to negotiate with owners to get a great price.

Thanks

JOL

If I was to change one thing I would remove the map and replace it with Google maps. I recently launched a new site gardensandfood.me (still in dypers) were I use Google maps. This gives your customers a better visual impact.

Just an opinion

I don't think the site actually needs the scrolling image. You have a nice logo/colour/font combination there already and I found the scrolling image visually distracting and a bit choppy.

Overall a good idea but it is pretty competitive out there. You also in prices state "be seen by visitors from all over the world 24 hours a Day (Google current search volume for the keyword phrase "Irish Holiday Homes" is 11,100,000). which might sound like you are getting that type of traffic. I would avoid stating that to be honest

Thanks for taking a look at the site. Pol - Google maps are used when people search for a property to pinpoint the location of a specific property. The map on the home page is just a quick search tool for a user. Kieran, I understand what you mean about the image too. I had my reservation but if the customer wants it then what can I do...?

I really like your logo, I think its excellent, whoever did it for you.

The special offer red star on the right looks bad and 90s.
As does the spring 2011 offer, has pixelation, and looks like a paint job.
