Dear Members

I have finally got my own website up and running and would appreciate any constructive criticism. Website is: www.thierrylabatsafaris.com

Thanks

Looks very nice Thierry. Has a very professional look and feel. About the only thing I noticed is that there was not a page that actually talks about who you are, e.g., where you grew up, who you did your early hunting with, what your hunting approach and philosophy is, etc. For those of us that know you or are familiar with your reputation, probably not necessary to include such information. But undoubtedly there will be others visiting the site that might find that information useful. Looks good.

Mike Jines is right. The info is there but it should be tagged on the main page right next to hunting ect.

Otherwise a great website - the picture are really well done.

Thanks Mike, that makes a lot of sense.

Cheers

Nice page overall. The disappearing and reappearing top menu bar (as you scroll down the page) is (to me) distracting. I would suggest leaving the menu bar all the way at the top, or just leave it stuck - without the disappearing/reappearing - in a frame. Also, the General Information looks like it will be a pretty rich area when it is finished. I would put this in a more prominent location (perhaps on the top menu). I might also consider changing the title to "What to Expect" (or something similar) versus General Information. If I were shopping for a safari, "What to Expect" sounds more inviting than General Info.

Great site!

Terry you got your name wrong?

Good clean site and some great pictures and trophy shots which at the end of the day is mostly what the punters want to see.

Looks good but the first thing you need to do is disable the right click function because you can bet your life there are people out there already stealing your images and possibly other content for their own purposes and profit.

Disabling the RC function doesn't stop all theft but it does reduce it and make it harder for the thieves.

Very well done Terry. Congratulations on a very professional site...

I agree with the others on their ideas, especially Andrew, you need to learn to spell your name correctly!
I really like the leopard eyes on your site & business card, pretty sharp if you ask me.
Some may disagree, but I like seeing photos of a ph & his family.
Wishing you & yours all the best life has to offer.

Looks good Thierry.

One piece of advise once you start posting in your photo gallery is to post it by year. I have noticed that some just post photos with no reference to year or post them by species with no reference to year. Posting by year gives an accurate representation of how the quality and variety of trophies are holding up especially in an era when all too many areas are on the decline.

Thanks for all the comments and I'll take everything into consideration.
Cheers

Prices !!!

I hate looking at websites and not having at least an idea of what kind of funds the outfitter charges.

I'm sure Phil was very excited to see his picture up on your DG gallery as well. I can see his head swelling as we speak

Nice web page - a great addition to your business.

Reasons I don't have prices on there is because I don't own any areas and prices depends on where I'll be taking the hunter too.

GREAT website Thierry- hope the show was good for you!

Great website thanks for sharing

Excellent site Thierry. Congratulations.

Maybe it's just me, but I am using a Surface Pro 3 and the pages won't scroll.

EDIT: I just tried it on my iPhone and it works fine, but still not on my Surface.

Awesome site mate! Really captures what you wanted it to and we discussed in Cameroon. Sorry missed you at the shows!
Love to Suz and Jackie
