Title: New Country House Hotel website
Post by: sparkdigital on June 01, 2010, 10:50:15 AM
This site went live a couple of weeks ago: www.linthwaite.com (http://www.linthwaite.com) Uses quite a lot of modules and droplets with a bespoke menu by Westhouse IT.

Let me know your thoughts!

The right atmosphere for the product! Very nice job.

How did you do the online booking?

:oops: Too right! It was a lot of work and more than anticipated but at least the client is happy...

The online booking is an external service - I just created a form that passes on the right parameters to their site.

Thanks for your comments!

Nice site. But... on the German pages there are some errors. :roll:

Example -> http://www.linthwaite.com/cms/languages/deutsch.php
Haüser -> Häuser
wünderschönen -> wunderschönen
Raüme -> Räume

Very nice. What are you using for the flash slideshow? 
I've seen something similar before but the name escapes me.

Glad you like it. The flash movie is from http://activeden.net/item/xml-slideshow-with-ken-burns-effect/32354 (http://activeden.net/item/xml-slideshow-with-ken-burns-effect/32354) and comes with a really good manual etc.

Thanks,

WOW! The menus are incredible. You must have one hell of a strong command of CSS.

Thanks but I have to admit WesthouseIT (also on this forum) did most of the menus for me - I initially created them as a static menu - when you clicked on the tab, the submenus would appear but the client wanted them interactive as they are now...  :roll:

This is a fantastic page. I like it really much. I think you used the right amount of moving objects, not too many moving things, just right.

And I like the XML slideshow, I think I have to look at this more closely.
