Hi all I work as a self employed web developer specialising in database driven web design and agree very much with what Ian Hoare wrote earlier. Problem is many web designers are more concerned with showing off their skills and pay little attention to usability or robustness of the website or to your business. Best advice as Ian wrote is 'keep it simple'. Things like Flash only causes problems and does very little for search engine position (VERY IMPORTANT!) The number of 'French holiday let' websites I have seen that are difficult to navigate, dont work or take ages to load is enormous. If any one would like some advice (free) then feel free to contact me. I am happy to chat via email or phone. If you are curious to know why I am on the Living France forums is that we are looking for property in France and have been for the last 2 years..not found the perfect place yet though Hopefully this year will be the one !
