Minor Problem on main_screen.jpg 1 My eyes have a hard time figuring out where to focus here. 2 The placement of the social buttons feels like an afterthought. Try using some icons that fit your design. http://iconfinder.com 3 Align the list with the header 4 Play with this area and make it pop more. -
Simon Jackson commented:I was a little vague with this comment. Try increasing the size of the font where you state the name of the featured cruise.
Serious Problem on main_screen.jpg 1 These elements dont match the overall feel that you are trying to communicate with your customers. -
Kevin De Silva commented:Have had a couple concepts about that on here ... Their brand here is designed with wavy references to it everywhere, from their printed brochures, to their advertisements and even their building. They expressed a desire to me to have a "wavy" element within the site, I was trying to do it but with a little more subtlety
-
Aaran Casey commented:In that case put the wavy effect in the footer
2 If you are able to, put a tiny bit of space between the 'chain' and the M, they are starting to blend in with each other. I've attached a rough example to this review. -
Kevin De Silva commented:
Example looks good, I will definitely do that
Positive Feature on main_screen.jpg 1 If this is the main focus of the site, you've done a good job getting me no to notice this area. -
Kevin De Silva commented:
Yes, that and the packes are really the drivers...
New Idea on main_screen.jpg 1 The "outer glow" on the logo makes it look a little muddy. Honestly, based on the target market, I think you should put this in the top left of the site and rethink your main navigation area. 2 I'm not sure if its just me, but these seem hidden, out of place and TMI in one area. -
Aaran Casey commented:
Wow, I didn't even notice these until you pointed it out
Summary:
This isnt a bad start but there are a few issues I think you should take care of before submitting to the client.
I'm not sure if you are allowed to tinker with the logo at all, but ive uploaded a (VERY) rough example of some of the issues i mentioned on the left.
Also, take a look at this great article on Z-Based layouts. I think it will do wonders with your concept here.
Cant wait to see the next revision. Keep up the good work!

Minor Problem on main_screen.jpg 1 button is a bit too big (I’m being picky). 2 You don’t need the logo twice in a page, remove it. Reduce the height; it will give you more room for the page content. Serious Problem on main_screen.jpg 1 This doesn't add anything to the design. I would remove it. -

See first review comment
Critical Problem on main_screen.jpg 1 I’m sure you can add a more striking picture. Having the palm tree right in the middle of the screen is not good. It blocks the view. -
Kevin De Silva commented:
This is going to be a slideshow of pictures with the logo and callout text (or button) overlaid on top ... I will make more of am effort to try and find better pictures..
New Idea on main_screen.jpg 1 Keep the same order for Cruises, Flights, Cars, Hotels, Tours in all sections (Nav Bar, left and right columns). I’m guessing you’ll have the Air form on the left showing on the screen with the Flights tab content on the right. 2 Good but can be improved. Consider different color, wording (Hurry! Packages closing soon!) You need to provide the closing date. 3 make it more appealing (color, wording) Other on main_screen.jpg 1 You need to add a call to action. 2 Which page is that? There is no indication. Summary:
I cannot resist sharing with you this link about PET: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JjHtke2Yew&feature=youtubegdataplayer it provides great tips to improve your site.
I wonder if the layout you picked may end up being too small. Usually, travel web pages need to hold a lot of information.
Regarding the background, you may try a sandy color instead of light grey would make the content stand out a bit more. If so, you may have to pick a different color for the Featured Cruises background box.

Michael Rawlins commented:Excellent review!

Serious Problem on main_screen.jpg 1 I agree this needs to stand out some more . Also if you haven't already considered this, make a Featured Cruises slide. That should help add emphasis on this . -
Kevin De Silva commented:
Yup, will work on something to make it stand out more, and yes there will be featured cruises in the above slideshow
2 Im not feeling this background you used, it would look much cleaner without it. -
Kevin De Silva commented:
See comment on previous review
Critical Problem on main_screen.jpg 1 Im not sure this is the best option for your Logo. Since this is a slider you will lose the logo once a user clicks for the next slide. Try placing it at the top right out side of the slider and modify the navigation. -
Kevin De Silva commented:
Using some sort of mask, the logo will sit on top of all the slides..
New Idea on main_screen.jpg 1 The alignment of the contents inside each section of the footer might look better centered within their section. the social icons do feel out of place like Simon said. Summary:
Nice start. With a few changes you can get this concept just right. I'm looking forward to seeing the next revision.

Minor Problem on main_screen.jpg 1 Use more modern font 2 align that 3 to big Critical Problem on main_screen.jpg 1 This look like a background from Adobe:) Try to use something else...and lose that bright blue color. Positive Feature on main_screen.jpg 1 Like those shadows New Idea on main_screen.jpg 1 make smaler logos, and all in white color 2 try with diferent background color Summary:
It would be a great page if you were selling...hm boats...or for seaport...or fish food:) Change the logo if you can. Instead of anchor use one of the travel vehicles. And overal font system is not quite good...try to modernize it...use some cufons, font-face or google fonts.
Positive Feature Makes me want to go on holiday
I love the big image at the front. Especially the discount makes me want to know more.Summary:
The site is clear and nice. The only thing I would have is have thumbnails images with each of the cruises. Maybe a nice picture of the boat!
The search is too big and red and scary
Air, Hotel, Cruise better being tabs.
Seat sales are not very inspiring and could be a bigger feature.
The idea is to have a slideshow of different package ideas, I think a better picture with a call to action button there might actually work better...
