      Hi, another great looking site. Only a tiny thing, but i keep going for the text above & below the header image thinking its part of the menu. (Its got the same feel as a link)
      Besides this, a real nice looking site.

      well done.

              Thanks The Shepherds,

              I had a look in IE & fox and the scrolling photos are continuous (are you worried about the speed at which they scroll?)

                Hi Andrew,

                Excellent site once again. You're lining them up, lol....

                The text heading GANSBAAI BACKPACKERS ACCOMMODATION on the home page is a little confusing. It gives the impression that you are on the Backpackers Accommodation page. If you open the Backpackers Accommodation page, you see the same heading. See what I mean? Maybe change the heading on the index page.

                I agree with Chris on the text above and below the logo-header. It gives the impression that its part of the menu.

                In the url you use Gansbay; the text on the pages are Gansbaai (Afrikaans). Maybe just explain that on the index page somewhere.

                Otherwise, very nice as usual. How far is that other high tech site, lol?
                Bless you
                Tom

                  Andrew,
                  You've done it again. Makes me feel old and slow. I do ditto the comments already made though.

                    Hi Tommy,

                    I found loads of foreign visitors to SA keyword search as they pronounce some of our 'local' words. Noticed this by an unintentional spelling mistake which received loads of search traffic (the spelling mistake is still in place LOL)

                    I'm in the process of removing the text heading which is being mistaken as a menu as it's dangerously close to keyword density spam.

                    Thanks for the comments,
                    Andrew

                      Thanks Dave,

                      You're only as old as the women you feel. (LOL)
                      Would you consider a little scuba off Gansbaai?

                        Up to your usual standard.. Fantastic

                        Andrew I have tried twice now to email you through your web design site, but everytime I get the error box on your site but it won't tell me what the error is?
                        Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

                          Hi Andrew,

                          I can't add anything to the other comments if you're taking care of the menu look-a-like thing. I think its a great looking and very dynamic site. Great job!
