Hi All,
We have recently built our website and before we go live on the search engines would appreciate any advice on what we can add to improve it etc....
the address is:
www.labelleepoquefrance.co.uk or .com.
Any feedback good or bad is appreciated.....we used microsoft live small business to build it (free)....it only allows you to do certain things but as we were pushed for time it was quick and very easy to use to achieve what we could.
thanks julie
Location - I would have prefered say 20 kilometres South of Nontron, 550 miles South of Calais or to start at a map of France as a whole then zoom in -
Climate - I would have liked a year round view of rainfall and average temperature. If I am planning a family holiday in July I would not be very worried about the rain in the first four days of April.
Decide what you are trying to do with the tarifs. Either it is cheaper for a long stay ( and I would say you were in three of four night territory ) or if it cheaper out of season say so. As the site is I do not know how much I would be paying.
Otherwise thought it was very good. Sorry sounds like faint praise but I did think it was a good start
Food - if you are not offering meals yourself, then an idea of location of restaurants would be nice. Are cooked breakfasts included - if not how much do they cost (and if you are not charging extra then you may well regret it)?
Location - prefer an idea i.e. distance from airport, nearest big town, railway etc. number of bnearest N road.
Deposits - I'd stick to euros if I were you as it is easier to keep to one currency and no arguements about the exchange rate. If you want to take deposits make it a percentage. 20€ won't stop someone standing you up if they've booked 3 rooms for a week.
It all looks very nice, when do you open?
Good Luck
It looks pretty impressive. Just a couple of niggles (I'm a professional pedant).
The 'About La Belle Epoque' page is actually about Excideuil.
The first item in 'Local attractions by foot' is '7-8 minutes by car' (5 miles?).
I agree that a simple outline map of France and basic distances/times (Calais, Caen, St Malo) would be a good idea.
Hi
Had a quick look, first impressions are good, good images.
The coding isn't so good, no tags (although not absolutely neccessary) the way its put together wont get a good google listing if you're after one, quite a lot going on as well for whats needed, 140k page size is quite a lot, on ADSL tho its fineI wouldn't have the email address on the site as it is either, you'll get a lot of spam.
Overall tho, nothing there puts me off if I was looking for somewhere to staygood luck with it
edited to add-picture file sizes in Tariff page are way too largebreakfast times not important, most pages can be cut down and added in others
The River Loue runs along the back of La Belle Epoque and is constantly populated with local and tourist anglers. Temporary fishing licences can be bought in the town for anyone who would like to fish, if so, we will obtain the licence for you for when you arrive (upon request).
The anglers aren't in the river so I would put :
The river Loue runs at the back of La Belle Epoque. This river is very popular with both local and visiting anglers. If you would like to fish during your stay we can help you purchase a temporary license when you arrive. Sorry to be picky ! It is very hard to 'edit' your own work ! (as you will see from my constant typos etc) It looks lovely by the way

with B and B surely by law breakfast has to be included in the price?
Wondering why bacon and eggs in France?
