I haven't looked closely but HONESTLY on my computer it looks BRIGHT GREEN...too bright for my eyes. I prefer either a really dark backgound for contrast or something a bit more easy on the eyes.:-(
 
A bolder font? A different color? How about the background color, that really pops.

I thought so, too, but wasn't sure if it was just my color setup. It is definitely a vivid green.
 
I checked it in IE. Everything looks good in it. I like the way it is laid out and your pictures. In IE, the last picture on the picture page has the printing funny. That should be fixed whatever is causing it.
Also on your policy page, there is at least one place where there is no space at the end of the sentence and the next sentence starts. Also can't remember what but there is one sentence that is missing a word.
 
$95 a night!!! THAT IS TOO LOW!!! I would never let it go for anything under $100 and for a cottage...$125-150 a night for sure.
Why no TV??? Many will ask for it...especially in a separate cabin.
You need more photos of what the cabin looks like inside and outside...the bedroom looks nice, but where is it in relation to the rest of the cabin? I would definitely want to see more before I booked.
Have your availabilty open in a new window for dummies that don't know how to get back to the previous page...or you may lose them
I would have a link from each of the separate cottage pages to the other, that way visitors don't have to go back and click on rooms button.
Really..that BRIGHT green has got to go..especially on the availablity page:-(
Are you really already booked that full???? If so..that is wonderful!
 
Catlady suggested the availability calendar opening in a new window. I don't recommend that for something that is supposed to be a part of your own site. A cleaner approach is to work with webervations to have the navigation from your site reproduced identically on webervations. That way they see it as a part of your site, rather than some frankenstein like add-on. I would not do that until you get your "template" just the way you want it.
Two other technical things if you can:
  1. Have your "home" link point to your root rather than index.htm
  2. Set up your hosting so that the non-www version of your site re-writes to the www version. (meaning that if you type in yourdomain.com that what appears in the address window becomes www.yourdomain.com)

I stand corrected..yes, it should just be incorporated into the site. THough some folks don't know how to do that..so I think opening in a new window is less of a hassle than back tracking
I guess that bright green just threw me for a loop:)

I've been working hard to debug the thing. I'm on a Mac and don't have access to Internet Explorer, so I would appreciate input from users of that browser. It looks and works great on Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, OmniWeb and on the very old Mac IE (though it doesn't seem to recognize CSS).
Wow!!!
Your photos are magnificant and sell me!
I agree your rates are extremely low, so you have ot be careful, people will wonder why they are so low.

Yours was a good suggestion for the way it is set up now. Most designs can fit into webervations fairly easily, but sometimes not being able to control the width of webervations can give trouble when trying to fit in a side navigation like OakCreek is using.

Since my navigation buttons are all done with CSS, I was wondering if I couldn't just include the <DIV> tags in the header along with the an embedded style sheet onto the Webervations page. However, I'm not sure if it's kosher to put a style sheet within the body of an HTML page.
Can I define the values for a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active in the body of the <DIV> tag?
 
They way to do it is to email them the stylesheet and images for your header and let them attach it in the header. The images have to go to them so they are served up by the secure server, otherwise people will get an error saying there is a security issue (which their isn't, but they don't know that). People are funny about not giving their info if they get a security warning

. Once webervations lets you know the images and stylesheet are in place, then you can add your html to the custom headers and footers in your webervations account.
You can use inline styles within the body and you can specify mouse states in an inline style within a div, but since you have to send them the images anyway, you might as well use your own stylesheet.

And, they do charge you a one time fee for these additional images.

That part is kind of stupid, it would be so easy for them to built that into the system where you could upload your own images and stylesheet, it would save them a ton of work and make it easier on us designers to boot.
 
OK, here's the firefox version. The other reply is from IE...
oakcreekfirefox.jpg
.
I'm not sure what's going on with I.E. It obviously doesn't like my table. I've done web authoring before without these kinds of results. The logo should be loading faster now. I took it through Adobe ImageReady and sliced into thirds greatly reducing it's size.
.
In firefox I can see the 'slices' loading. In IE it still doesn't show. It looks like what I posted earlier.
.
That makes absolutely no sense. There are three .PNG files that make up the logo. They're sitting inside a single cell of a table that isn't nested.
Out of curiosity, I've removed everything from the table on this page www.#removed#.com Can you see the logo now?
I was able to load I.E. 5 for Mac and the page comes up fine. It may be an issue with the PC version. I'm kind of at the mercy of Dreamweaver because the HTML I learned 10 years ago is obsolete.

I notice you 'borrowed' my dietary restrictions paragraph word for word. Hope it works better for you than it does for me!
More pix of the cottages are needed. Interior and exterior. I'd want to know how close they are to each other and where they sit on the property. I would remove the twirly bits by the 'last minute specials' (only because I don't like twirly bits).
The picture gallery is a nice touch..

Yes I admit it. I'm flagrant plagiarist. Please excuse me, I should have asked.
You worded it beautifully and said exactly what needed to be said. I know what you mean though after reading the posts here and elsewhere: even though you say it EVERYWHERE and ask them at the time of the reservation, you're still going to get a_ _holes guests that don't say anything until they're served.
I didn't want that particular link to get lost on the page. Any suggestions on how I might do it differently?
p.s. Thanks for the input.
