Basic elements of a charter site:
1) About & what to expect
2) Rates
3) Captain
4) Boat
5) Pictures of happy people with fishies...
Here are a few that I have done
http://www.avemariacharters.com
http://www.billandjulsfishing.com (about to get revamped)
http://www.candocharters.com
one I'm working on now: http://www.GotStryper.com
They follow similar patterns but get the key elements in. Some change a bit in how dynamic they are and how easily they can be updated...
The BEST thing I can say is that quality quality shrap and colorful images makes a site more than anything else... You also want clear and concise text and verbage in the point you are trying to get across. When I do a site, I don't decide what to write (though I may offer a suggestion) but try to capture the flavor of what the client wants... |

Similiar to what was said above... It's the sizzle that sells the steak. you need MUCH better qualilty pictures and more content like listed above. It's tough desinginf a site from scratch. The first is always the toughest. After that it's allot of copying an modifying stuff you've done in the past.

Thanks for the suggestions. John, maybe we can chart more on Tuesday night. JF what didn't you like about the pictures? I can make them much sharper but then they will be much bigger. I don't want to use up half the page with one picture.

I thought the pictures looked like they were from the 20-30 years ago. |

I think your rates are awesome. I believe the other charter boats are getting far more.
Site looks good except for the pics which are muddled.

No boat, back in the suds.
