Re: dialups concern or no????????

Stick with JPG's, try to keep a limit to say...3-4 per page, but make sure they are all re-sized to the exact size you need.
You cannot afford to lose their clarity, nor do you need to fall for "maybe" or "probably" as part of your winning solution set.

Re: dialups concern or no????????

Ihave redued the pixs but need as is for optimal effect. The lure to this place is not done justice in words, especially my lack of expertise, or "lack of cognition" in use of english although it is my mother tongue. I have been here long enough to start to mix dialects,spanish and my spanmayalish.

Re: dialups concern or no????????

LOLOL!
So, use it to your advantage! You can create a measure of "charm" that way, you know...but, like anything on the web, keeping it simple assures success.

And in travel, create the allure and the desire to know more....make them want to contact you to learn what makes you so special.
We know you won't disappoint them!

Re: dialups concern or no????????

Re: dialups concern or no????????

Muy Bueno! George!

(Andy helped me on my "new form" and I think I wore him out!)LOL

I think I have the hang of it, and if I am able -as far as my schedule permits- I can help you out on yours.....

Re: dialups concern or no????????

Thank you. The form I want to do is extensive with a lot of medical, personal etc., wll u know. Have to get it all the first time or they can run u around. Need first a terms of service, maybe u have some pointers on that. Will do standard no show, cancellation etc. but have to tie them down.

Re: dialups concern or no????????

I have tried emailing you several times....apparently something is blocking the email you have posted here and the ones I can find on your website?
A lot of what we can do can be easily done via email: I can send you some examples of previous Forms and travel docs to see if you can copy/paste them and then make simple edits.

You are confusing me somewhat...are you mixing up Customer Reply/Contact Forms and Content Pages??

I would suggest having a deatiled "Inquiry/Contact" Form with the questions you need to measure interest level, possible dates of travel, etc. so you can reply to them with a semi-accurate quote and still use the interaction to get more specific answers and plans detailed: even the first "Follow-Up" is a trip-building experience....
Take a look at this example from our Luxury Travel site: http://www.eliteluxurytravel.net/request.htm
Here's one from the Vaction site: http://elitetravelgroup.vacationport...=4531&pid=5713
It's all about follow-up (prompt and personal), and narrowing the options based on their dates, budget, etc. We should include many of the same information on your form.
> Also take a look around these sites....nowhere are the complete "Terms" listed, since they change according to the trip, etc.

Terms of Service, Waivers, etc. all come when the deal is made, usually, and not thrown at them in the very beginning! You don't want to scare people off....you need them to have these documents and to execute them properly, yes, but when it is time...

Re: dialups concern or no????????

No I was speaking of a form that explains just that, the terms of service at the time they send info to get a confirmation, which is the time they would make dwn pmt.
so to speak honest money what ever. I know I need a pre sales form just to see the interest and then do follow up on it, I never thought of my itinerary as etched in stone, if logistically possible for the money I'll take them to Indiana.
I'll look at the forms and maybe be in shape tomorrow pm to discuss it more. Do not know why u can't email, I get mail all day.

Re: dialups concern or no????????

what about the gallery in the itinerary trying to give glimpse of area or activity, tooooooo big. All sites have, there's much larger. Site large must view in largest browser. I get told too many key words at 22 One site I loooked at had 1400 so I just try to get somehing pleasing to the eye.

Re: dialups concern or no????????

Don't freaking worry about Key Words now, G!

And quite honestly, I would think that 75% or more of YOUR customers will be US clients and have cable hook-ups! Don't get so messed up with these things....I spend a lot more time on the visual, the content, and the finest detail of the web design myself....it's what makes the sale online, nothing more. People will only prefer what appears to be top professionalism....they don't spend money with those who have funky sites. They don't mind scrolling down, but they don't want to find less than what they think they deserve....

When we get your site tweaked really nice, then we can deal with getting more attention to it, and there are better ways for travel/destinations to skip to the top without having to deal with all the issues other common websites must contend with: for instance, I know of 3 wholesalers that would be happy to list your site in their "catalog" of destinations, and these handle almost 60% of the world's leisure travel right now....that is sure to get you the rank and attention you both need and want....

So....keep focused on tweaking your site 800 wide in the cleanest, most picture-perfect layout you can, then we'll add the necessary Contact functions to begin following up the leads, and then we can even prepare the Forms and Official Documents in the background you will be emailing to prospective clients during the "itinerary building process"....siempre?
