"Most Common Errors for Hotel Websites

Most site design errors are pretty common-sense issues. Some designers forget that the mission is to sell rooms; not simply to design a pretty web site. The most common errors are:

  1. Poorly written and ineffective text
  2. Too little information on the hotels location; sometimes none at all
  3. Lack of a good visual representation of the hotels facilities
  4. The use of inappropriate and excessive use of flash elements
  5. Lack of research in the development and placement of meta tags and key words
  6. The choice of a poorly designed booking engine; or none at all
  7. Lack of a functional link strategy
  8. Lack of conformity to search engine requirements "
