feedback on travelwires.com

Hi Muzi,
The site looks great. Just some quick feedback -

* The logo in the top left could be made into a link to the home / front page.
* Could the newsletter subscribe / unsubscribe image link be made a little more prominent? i.e.
* There are no details about the benefits of joining the mailing list.
* There is no privacy policy on the site or in the mailing list pop-up window. This is more of an issue with the mailing list.

For a site just launched it certainly contains a lot of useful content. Well done!

Regards,
Scott

Hi Muzi,

At first impression, besides the small technicalities Scott mentioned, I find the site is overwhelming and a little cluttered. Even though it would seem that a lot of content is good, a lot of content can be bad if it is not organized properly.

Some ideas:
- Use more colors. Get a variety of colors to give the site depth and perspective. (http://www.colorsontheweb.com/, use the wizard with your current color orange to find other colors to go with it. Also check out a color wheel.)

- Change the size of the fonts. Associate the size of the fonts with the level of importance the content holds. (For example, top of the page menu items should have bigger font than the main content.)

- Top of page menu that starts with "Accommodation" and ends with "Wildlife". The background should be a solid color the vertical lines make it hard to read.

- Menu items are important. If you make the main menu a little more interactive it would probably encourage people to click on the items.

These are just my opinions so don't take them to heart! Great site, keep up the good work.

Regards,
Michael

I only had a brief look, and what stood out to me - and as imagined has already rightly pointed out - the vertical lines in the menu make it difficult to read. I'd change that to block colour or a subtle gradient.
