talking about totaltravel.com Australia. 'Your travel encyclopaedia'.

isitwickednotto: Good Afternoon all.: "Today, I will be talking about totaltravel.com Australia. 'Your travel encyclopaedia'.

totaltravel.com contains information about accommodation, activities, dining and attractions for all areas of Australia. It's on online travel guide.

I think the user is meant to navigate their way to information on their chosen region via clicking on the appropriate region on a map of Australia. However, I didn't even notice the map until after several minutes. It's small and tunked up in the top right-hand corner.

When, the user looks at the homepage, they see a huge, unattractive tangle of links - about 70 all up, linking to particular sections of information (eg. Accommodation - Blue Mountains). Initially, given their number and prominence - I supposed that these links were the main way of getting around the site. However, these links only account for a fraction of the material on the site.

The content on the site seems comprehensive and useful, it's a shame that navigating your way to the information isn't more obvious."
