Default Thanks to all -- the last aviation theme suite is finally DONE

Definitely. No offense, Jay, but your hotel's web site looks like a
refugee from 1995. I won't pretend to tell you your own business, and I
could well be wrong, but I'd wager that an upgrade to a more modern look
from a good web designer would pay for itself in rapid fashion.


What's funny about this is that I *constantly* receive compliments about my
website BECAUSE of its simple, no-nonsense, easy to navigate "old-fashioned"
design. (I suppose those who think it's dated just keep quiet!)

I go to many hotel (and other) websites that drive me CRAZY with all their
whiz-bang java scripts running, slowing the sites to a molasses-slow pace.
If it were possible to add those cool features without making the sites run
so slow, I'd do it.


Don't get me wrong. I don't think you should have one of these fancy
dynamic sites. Certainly, I appreciate the simplicity. But you can
update the *look* of your site while still keeping the *simplicity* of
it. You have a distracting and (again, no offense intended) somewhat
ugly background on your pages. Your graphics aren't antialiased and as
such appear quite grainy. Your menu on the side is small and not very
easy on the eyes. Overall, the look is just a bit cheap and ugly. I
definitely think that you should keep things simple as you say, but
getting some better graphic design would help a lot.

Again, I don't want you to take this the wrong way. I don't mean to
overly criticize, just offer my view of things. I've never been there,
but it certainly sounds like a nice place. I believe that if you just
make the web site look a bit more modern, more people will be convinced
to give it a try.
