Yaroslavl Website - in English

Hi.
I've produced an English Language website about Yaroslavl:
http://www.yaroslavl-online.com.

If you have some time, take a look, and let me know what you think.

Also, if anybody would like a link on the site, please use the contact details on the website with details.

Have fun.

Very nice of you to have an idea of the site. I don't like the interface, it's rather poor. May be you should do it more up-to-date and colourful. If you like to do it attended, add some forum rooms and fields for user's content. I don't think someone gets a lot of useful information reading just only official information. The picts are very nice. The information of making a new web site doesn't fit the main topics list.

Hi Lucky Strike,
Thanks for taking the time and trouble to take a good look at my website, and also for providing the constructive comments.

In reply:

Whether somebody likes the user interface to any website (not just this website) is a subjective thing. For some reason you obviously don't like the interface I have used, whereas I actually quite like it, and think it's quite simple for users to navigate around. Do you have some samples of websites that are "up-to-date" and colourful, so I can see the type of interface you are talking about.

I take your point about the interactive nature of the website, and I've added a blog to the website, which allows feedback - this will improve the interactive nature of the website. If there is enough interest in a forum, then I might add one.
NOTE: The site was originally intended as a useful resource for people who know nothing about Yaroslavl (hence the large amount of static information), and encourage them to come and visit the beautiful City of Yaroslavl.

Thanks for the comments about the photos. We have taken all the photos shown in the website ourselves, and will take more the next time we visit Yaroslavl.

I take your point about the writing websites page, and have removed it (and added a blog entry about it instead).

Again, many thanks for your useful comments. We will endevour to refine and improve the site over time, and any comments we receive will help with this.

Thank you very much )

are you from England?

why do you interesting in Yaroslavl?

Yes, I live in England, not too far from London.

My wife originates from Yaroslavl, hence my interest, and reasonably frequent visits to the beautiful city of Yaroslavl.

I wasn't able to find too much information available in English about Yaroslavl online before, so I put the website together to make it easier for people to find out about the city, and maybe encourage more people to visit - Yaroslavl could definitely do with more tourists.

I look forward to my next visit.

Have fun ...
