Help Improve Site....

[ganesh_dabhade]

I have designed a site in php

I need your suggestions to improve the site in designing aspects or anything else.

Thanks in advance.

Since I have Flash blocked on any site unless I specifically enable it, your page does not have the animated logo on it when I look at it. While I personally would prefer no animation, if you feel you must have it, you should probably add a static logo image under it for users like me who would not be running Flash. Also, the correct spelling is "Religious" (not "Religeous"). 😉

Thanks NogDog and dagon for replying.

1. I think i'll stickup to Flash because the site looks nice and moving by using flash. Many sites uses flash banners.

2. Thank u dagon for suggesting url. I m now checking errors and trying to remove them.

More suggestions are appreciated....

add this to your tds in the main table :
<td style='vertical-align:top'>
it will bring the content to top of the cells and look neater

the yellow stars look a bit, er, how to be polite.. not nice

page counters look very 1995 as well

on a details page the text is too wide making it hard to read - add more line spaceing or reduce text panel width

just have one animated thing if you must have them - not both banner and pictures

the scrolling pictures are annoying as they should be clickable to show you a description on what you are looking at - and they move too fast

a bit more..
your thumnbail image scaling is all wrong
some of the pictures are bad scans from printed material (showing heavy moire patterning) - not good if you want to promote the place

as a travel guide it should have many more pictures

but it does look an interesting place to visit!

Thanks cretaceous for your suggestions.

I am working on ur observations...

Line height.... done.
Line height in details page is now increased. Wow! it looks nice now.

Scrolling pictures...... done..
scrolling pictures are now clickable. But I m not able to add description. If I do the same, all pictures comes up in one vertical line and all scrolls at once.

I will remove counters later as they are for informative purpose right now.

I m really worried about how to get images for destinations. I have created a page on facebook for this purpose.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mahadarshan/130925978570 so that the people can add pictures to this place.
Please suggest me the way to do this.

I have already added <td style='vertical-align:top'>
