What you say is true, and your readers should pay close attention. What I am teaching here (and in my book, Big Ticket eCommerce) is that you must have a clear strategy, efficient design, smart traffic plan, and a comittment to optimize and improve the response rate of the site every week. This is what smart web site owners will do, and it's applicable to the hotel industry as well as any other industry. The fundamentals remain the same. I wish you continued success on your blog and your business, and the same to your readers!

As Bob rightly says, what is the use of an amazing design if it is too complicated for your average user or too cool to be functional. This is certainly a lesson we all need to remember. Im redesigning my own Goa Hotel website www.mitaroy.com/goahotel.html. While I may think it will look fantastic, the proof will only be how many more bookings I get with the new design... Cheers Mihir Nayak Truly, the proof of the pudding is in the eating Josiah!
