Camping and Caravan website

I'm just completing a camping and caravan website. The web address is the one I have been developing the website development so it's not the final real url. Both the old and the new site sites have a complex form to correct customer booking information.

The development (proposed new website) address is http://www.snowbands.com/ this is an old domain that I have / use for development.

The actual website which currently has the old website on it (as at 27 feb 2017) is http://www.webberspark.co.uk/

You will notice they like green :lol:

not a problem. If your thinking about the colour, the customer wants green. :P

In my view it's always good to get feedback. Sometimes we might not like it, but we are all different and we all like different thinks. It would be a boring world if we were all the same! :roll:

If the owner like a certain color that is not a problem.

Tbh, I think the new version looks worse than the older one, although they look both not that good and I will tell you why.

This looks straight from the 90's! Some colors and gradient overlay just don't fit in this time anymore and will push away customers. Light green multi gradient with yellow, why?? It clashes so hard!

And, very important these days, make it responsive! The layout of the revised website isn't centered either, there is less space left than right. Too bad I don't have samples of my creations with responsive themes because I've been away a couple years from designing but working on a website right now that will have a modern look with the standards of today.

You should work on it too bro, I never designed a website for a park but it's an awesome subject, if you want some advice or tips I have np helping you out free of charge of course.

Keep in mind, most customers are satisfied easy but it's more important what visitors will think unless a owner don't care about conversion :)

Also, never put email on the front-end in text, crawlers with pickup that email and soon you will get shitload of spam.

Just as Rebels it is a tad dated but if that is what the client needs then who is to judge. You should also be looking at making it responsive for today's market as more and more are using mobile devices such as iPods, Tablets and mobile phones to browse the internet. Just to keep you up to date Google may penalise your sites due to not being responsive. Anyway I don't usually post external links in this section due to forum rules but take a look at the following URL

This I didn't know, was already planning to make every future project responsive but now for sure!

Thanks for the info.

well, I think it's ok, but for me it's kinda an old school layout design. But hey, if it's what the customer wants then the customer gets.

Good on ya.
