La Ropa Beach - The Website

For months I've been working on a new website for quite a few La Ropa lodgings and restaurants. Several of you contributed your photos to be used on the website. Well, the moment of truth has finally arrived.

Drum roll please....

Without further ado, I present for your perusal and pleasure:

Feel free to share and comment. I hope you like it.

Nicely done, but lots of places not listed. Rossy's restaurant as well as their hotel, Casa Cuitleteca with it's great food & amazing views, and the rooms.....mi Chayito Chinese, Gringo Gordo, to name a few. Otherwise, it's beautifully done:brilliant:

I just put it together. It's up to the La Ropa folks to get together with the website's owner if they want to appear in the website. I'm not sure if the La Ropa businesses you mention meet the website owner's criteria. I expect I'll be adding new businesses to it when instructed and tweaking it some more in the coming weeks and months.

Pero de todos modos, gracias por las flores. Mañana espero la maceta. B-)

I must have missed something in the google translate of your last sentence.

Btw, great job on your new site, I love it...

Rob's reply to Charlybby was essentially, "But anyway, thanks for the flowers. Tomorrow I hope I get (or that you give/bring) the pot (or vase, for the flowers). The expression is not much used in English, and so it doesn't ring with quite the same note as it does in Spanish.

Hola
Nicely done. Beautiful pictures as usual. I understand why you have not included a lot of the main places on the beach. All to do with clients and marketing. A few of the places featured I would never set foot in.
Be nice to see a "How to get there" section for those unfamiliar with the area. Not that I don't want to spread the word. That would just be selfish (or would it?).

I kind of thought the MAP page took care of that. Is that what you meant?

No mention of the pages "owner " or contact info, just you.

Style and Art work you get an "A"

Content you get a "C"

Business strategy you get a "F"

Your content may suffer greatly because your high horse attitude of "meeting the webmasters standards". Unless they are actually guilty of "moral terpitude" you are just shooting yourself in the foot by not trying to bring them to you.

If you are waiting for those not listed in this link to come beating down your door to get listed you are very well in for a long wait. Not a good business model.

Conversely, why not at a strategic time in the near furture tell all those other business's not appearing on the link (and there are many) that you will put them on the web "gratis" for a trial period. If they are perceptive and have any business acumen they may see an uptick in their business and decide that your web site can be a asset for their business.

If no response, then take them down. If in reality your web site did help them they will knock at your door and request a business meeting.

As for your judgemental take on some of these businesses, big big mistake, unless of course you're not much of a businessman.

CONSIDER THE TURTLE:

HE NEVER GETS ANYWHERE UNLESS HE STICKS OUT HIS NECK!

Good luck and good fortune!

Thanks for the critique, but it's not my website. I just make what I'm paid for. But I'll be sure to pass along your comments to the website's owner. ;-)

Looks great. Did that croc have a lunch of turtle steak? Speaking of food, we'll have to try one of Paty's new pizzas.

Beautifully done!

Missed seeing the 3+ RV parks/campgrounds listed, especially the one at El Manglar. Yes, I understand it's up to them to get themselves listed.

Great work, thanks.
