Totally agree with changing the scroll bar to match.

I like the change to the centre photo.
Hey, and add in some alluring descriptions in your photos alt attributes (rather than just 'rear view' and 'sea view' lol)

We just keep giving you more work don't we? :)

I really like the large photographs all coming up in that centre spot David. The rear view photo in the bottom right corner comes up very fuzzy though.

Have now substituted a better photo.

The 'background' word comes up again, with the new writing alongside of the thumbnails.

Missed that one..........well spotted.

This is personal taste, but I would change the lovely colour on your scroll bar to match one of the blues on your site.

Thats the problem with experimenting - sometimes you forget to change things back.........lol.....btw: that colour is in BV's dropdown list.

At the moment I find it a little too purple (or you could add the colour to the site somewhere). Perhaps the blue in the deckchairs. Before you change it though I would love to know the colour code.

The other comment I have is also my own taste. What if you changed the green writing in the main part of the page to match the orange or even the fine blue border. Or maybe both by changing the black descriptions of the photos as well. Just a thought. I don't mind the green in the bottom but I find it distracts from the wonderful photograph in the centre of the main part of the page.

What green writing bysandra?¿.......and where ?
I have only ever used standard black.......and everything looks ok on my browsers(Iuse Opera and IE when testing).

Thanks for taking a second look.........

Hi Sunchaser

My browser (Opera) doesn't display the alt words, only the link
but I have started to change them as they are displayed in IE.

Your comment made me go back and add some text to the actual pictures, so thanks my friend........oh and dont worry about the extra work, I love it..........lol

David the green writing for your links. Once it was always quite an attractive blue. Now on many sites it is neon green. Yours is neon green with a rollover colour of purple and a visited colour of blue which matches the skinny blue line bordering your page. What if you reversed the green and blue.
I am on IE so maybe that makes my colour choices.

I don't see the bright green links - they look blue to me (unless you've changed them!) Crazy how things can look different in different browsers.

With your alt attributes - I like your two top descriptions much better now (than 'sea view 1' and 'sea view 2')
'"View from Illetas Island" is good! Maybe make the other one "Enjoy a scenic walk at Illetas, Mallorca."
People searching google images for Illetas or Mallorca might land on your site if you have a couple of alt descriptions containing those words.

Looking good!

Hi Sunchaser

Checked with a couple of different browsers on the green link item so I didn't change them.............

Gradually changing the alt links.............thanks

Have now made my home page a little more interesting(I hope) by adding a circular mouse hover over the centre picture , as well as the normal
click thumbnails option.

Hi David,

Just wanted to let you know that I like the changes you have made to the pop up photos since first asking for feedback.
The only thing that still hits me is the color scheme. I would prefer a pacific blue or mediterranean blue for the main colour contrasted with another colour that is not the mustard yellow. But hey I am not an interior designer just a Piscean.

But well done to the webmaster.

Tested the colours with 3 different browsers and could not see that mustard yellow.........but I have changed the top boxes borders to blue now just in case.............thanks for your input and your comments.

Hello David,
Nice site, I don't see no musterd colour in the backgrounds.
Did you make the videos? the funny one is o.k., very descriptive :)

Re: Re-constructing "Holiday home to let" website - Comments appeciated.

Hola narobe

The mustard colour thing must be to do with a browser.

No, the videos are from youtube and I really like that funny one.

Gracias por su commentario y para mirandolo.........

Hi David, i didn't mind the orange border you used but I also like the ultramarine. I love the border around the centre photo. looks like a painting mount.
Just 2 suggestions.
1. The bottom box needs to be a smidgeon smaller to allow a gap on the left hand side between the page border and the box border. I feel that you need a very small gap between the bottom of the page border and the bottom of the box border as well
2. I think the page border needs to be the same colour (or a completely different colour) as the blues are so similar.
Well one more suggestion. Just for you to check out as it may not work.
What if you removed the box around your header. It seems to be creating a lot of lines in that area and may be visually more appealing with out the line. If it does not work could you move the two side boxes down a tiny, tiny bit so that you have a slither of background instead of a thick line where they overlap on the top box

ps don't know how to work the friendship thing back to you Do i send u a request?
