New Slide Shows across England - 24 February 2009

We are near the finish of a complete rebuild of the photographs we have taken as we have explored England over the past twenty years.
We have used a slide show application which loads all the photographs providing quick and seamless navigation from one slide to the next.

We have noticed only one small constraint: If you open the page containing the slide show and immediately start clicking from one slide to the next you can beat the speed with which the application loads the photographs. If you view each slide for the normal length of time before moving onto the next the application will load the slides at a faster pace.

Click here to view the Photographs Home Page.

At this stage we have the slide shows established on our European website - shortly we will also integrate it in our New Zealand website.

What's new February 2009

Cottage bookings for the month of January 2009 broke previous records and indicates that people in the UK are looking to holiday at home during these times of economic uncertainty.
This is good for our business and we are adding additional resources to enhance the experience of visitors to our website and also audit the accuracy of existing pages.

New improvements include:

1. Improved and more comprehensive page layouts

We have redesigned our main search page and now include the ability to display cottages by county/region sleeping 2 to 18 people (you choose the number) for Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.

2. Audit of the accuracy of links to maps.

We are auditing the accuracy of the links to Google maps, Google Satellite view, and Route from London - particularly in our pages of selected cottages. We continue to recommend that you check the property on the map in the property details page. Note that you will receive detailed instructions on the location of the property from the owners when you book.

3. Increased the content of our cottage pages in our website http://www.breaks2go.com/

Our research indicates that for visitors from the UK pages open 7 times quicker when they are located in a website based in the UK compared to our website http://www.explorethecountry.com/ based in New Zealand. As a result of this we have duplicated some pages from our New Zealand website in our website http://www.breaks2go.com/ which is located in Cheshire in the UK. The initial findings indicate that more people are spending more time in the pages located in our UK website.
