Great work! My feedback: 1)Some images don't belong to the destinations, see for example: Tsilivi from Greece 2)Add reviews / comments - in this way you'll have new content on your site (good for seo) 3)Create unique title, meta title and meta description for each destination Right now I'm looking to Capri, Italy, but the search engines don't know it because the title is DESTIGOGO and there's no meta data. This is ve…

Hi Raresp!

Thank you for your awesome feedback!

1) True, but it belongs to Zakynthos island, where Tsivili is located. Sometimes we had to choose for a more general place near the city we are mentioning, to get a decent image. And since it is very near, we think it's ok (When you will go to Tsivili, you definately will visit Navagio beach (Shipwreck Beach).

2) Planning to!

3) Good one! Is it ok to generate it dynamically (does Google find it in then?)

4) We'll thake that into account! But we'll first focus on developing the web app further and add features :)

Thank you!

Interesting. You certainly have a flair for design. I have some qualms about your execution though. First things first, you have two versions of jQuery in your source code: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js https://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js Why? -------- You're using Javascript to alter text colors of your labels when the form input/select element is hovered, but you're using…

Wow! Thank for your great amount of feedback wanda! Learnt a lot from this :D

Thanks for putting so much work in writing this all, really appreciate it! Will implement these optimizations ASAP!

Our code indeed looks awfull but we just wanted to ship now, since we just finished it and it functioned well enough. We decided to clear it up later (very soon though) so your tips and suggestions are amazing :)

This is nice and almost perfect, the only improvement I would like is to change the metrices, I live in South Africa and it would be very nice if I could see my prices in ZAR (South African Rands) and my Temperature in Degrees Celcius, apart from that, great site, planning a trip in March for my birthday and definitely will be using this :)

Great to hear! Ah we don't support ZAR yet. We do in Celsius, but for now it's related to USD :') So when you select another currency (EUR for example) you should see that temperatures will be changed to Celsius.

This looks great, however results aren't showing at all for some reason :( (on mobile) Will take a look at it on my laptop when I reach the office, but this is a great idea and something I've been thinking would be super useful if I had!

Mm that's weird.. Which browser do you use on your phone? We haven't heird of this problem yet so could you provide some more info so we can look into this? :)
