Great going... .

Wonderful to hear that the domain has been registered.Please pass on the details of the domain to us and the related logins for it.

Also, we are working very hard to fix minor minor issues, which are taking up lots of time. The funny part being we have solved major functional issues with ease and some simple bugs solving eats up much more time than that.

Anyways..

Just wait till next post tommorow morning for the stable version of the site.

Regarding the major things going on: Just one thing I am adding due to time constraints, we havnt as yet gone for Hot Deals thing on the home page, instead added as a Side bar for hottest deals, as for hot deals, we need a new admin page to enter hot deals, then a new table in db and a new jsp page and then would need to fix bugs on that.Will do this task after stablising other pending bugs ( Functional and technical)

Thanks

Hi All,

I was bit confused over the name selection as I had laid most stress on this issue. I was not sure whether, we would carry this name..until one of my school friend came to my rescue. he said" whats in the name.... Rose will smell as sweet, may you call it by any name."

Now, we will go on with this name...for sure. And we have to make this like a rose, so that it remians famous for its smell.......

Keep it up guys on the good work. We are looking to see something of substance.
And please respond to the messages at earliest, this would avoid any gap in the communication.

Regarding the Air flight panel, this would be second phase of the development.So dont worry about this at the moment but leave the dev options open for the second phase very soon...

Regards,
Karan & Guddu

Hi Karan/Guddu

We have taken your suggestions and found a list of 23 issues that we are on track to fix. Sorry for not replying to your earlier post. Have fixed around 10 of them.Will fix the remaining 13 also shortly.

Also I am not clear about the Airline ( Flight search?) link that you want. You want the search for air line functionality also or just want the links to Air lines websites to search? Please clarify.

Hi Team,
Apart for what Karan has asked you, can you put a comment on the website name. Can we go for www.bookpackgo.com or any other name... We are little confused over the name selection.

I really want to hear you as your words are really important. I m concerned as this is really important.

Homepage Review , Phase III

Dev Team,

Please follow the below spec for further changes. These changes is the collaborative work from myself and Guddu. Please find the attached file for the layout used for the homepage content. Also traverse through some sites like lastminute.com, travelocity.com for more information and ideas on developing the code. Also complete the previous spec before starting this one and let us know about the update.

1. From the file, the top portion contains the structure for the body of the homepage. It should be 3x3 Data grid or data list for Hot Deals!! The image size is around 120x83 PX and brief text information is given in right to the image. Also specify the more... link in the end of the text for a hyper link. The structure details are in the enclosed image.

2. Search Panel:- Please follow www.travelocity.com for the search panel structure. Use the table format to contain the panel search. The Footer blue color looks very good and should be used as a background color for this panel and use white color for the font.

3. Please change the body background color of the homepage to white from Grey.

4. Please remove the green button from the search panel. And use "Search Now" as a text for the button and use blue shade for the button with white text.

5. After fitting the Hot deals grid, leave some considerable blank space on the right side for the future use.

6. Search Panel:- Take off the Class dropdownlist from the panel.

7. Complete the Menu design work just just like the footer.

For more info, please give us a line.

Regards,
Guddu & Karan

website name

Dear All,

Thanks for the suggestion.

We have reserved the domain nam royaltravels.org as .com was not available. I wish to have the holidays site and the name should be like that only and moreover in .com only.
I would be glad, if you contribute something new and more appealing.
Keep updating...

Site name suggestion

Yea, from the names that you suggested bookpackgo.com seems a very refreshing n exciting name

But Guddu/Karan should not we be having a royaltravels.com or somethings which symbolises your company name as well-just a suggestion

cool

HI Team,
Blue color really looks very cool. I think we will do it as changes have been seen and it would be rolling soon. You guys are doing well and we are hopeful of having the best website in the travel induatry.
Me and karan will sit again for discussing the home page. IN the meantime, can you also comment sometihng on domian name.

Dev Team

Thanks for the changes. Good work.
Soon next week, hopefully after meeting with Guddu we'll come up with some content design for the landing page.

Please let us know when all the requested changes are done and live.
Thanks.

Karan

Work-in-progress

Hi Guddu, Karan

We are working on the site
Some of the mentioned changes have been incorporated here


1. The green color theme changing is bit messy business as of now..But still done changes, the search buttons green color would be changed shortly.

2.
Regarding

"Menu:- We don't require two separate menus on the top, reform it into one. There is enough room for it." - Done this change

"Search Panel:- Please takeoff the "Get information" link from the panel. We will fit this link somewhere else on the page later" - Done this change

"Search Panel:- Replace the existing used font with the verdana in small size" - partially done will change all fonts at one go once all other things r fine and uniformity is prevailing unlike current uneven-ness.

"Check in & check out textfields:- Make them readonly so the user has to choose the date from the popup only. This would avoid any mistake in filling the dates."
-Done this also ( At all the pages whereever Date Calendar popups are there.)

"Search Panel:- Increase its width to make calendar icon in same line with the textfield."
-Done this one also.

"Logo:- Regarding the image i have to speak with Guddu and later come back to you. In the mean time please takeoff the blinking logo."
-Done this by putting your image provided at the top!



Now, Guddu/Karan... I still want things to fill up the home page. It looks a lot empty.Please advise how do you plan to fill it up.

Thanks
