As you might have noticed, I have modified the layout of the site. I’m using more contemporary colors and greys this time. I’m hoping that this will make the website look more neat and organized, unlike the previous layout which I thought was a bit hard on the eyes.

I also managed to reduce the total file size of the homepage to half, which will significantly improve the loading time and performance of the site.

So far the makeover is halfway done … the real job is updating and writing more content to the site, which I will be doing within the day or next. I will prioritize information about tourist facilities such as Hotels and convention centers, Iloilo Real Estate, and Tourist Destinations. If I have some time left, I might be giving each municipality its own comprehensive info page.

Suggestions are highly appreciated at this time. I need to know if the layout is okay or if I have to do some more tinkering with the color-combinations or more additions.

Thank You for the support!

Greetings to all!

It’s yet again the end of November, so far the performance of Exploreiloilo.com has been more than okay … it’s magnificent. I’d like to thank all of you for visit and supporting this site, and I promise to make it even better in time for the new year and for Dinagyang of course.

Since I’ll be having a 2-3 week December break from school, I’ll have ample time to have a major update to the site lay-out, structure, and content (kag ma lagaw like there’s no tomorrow around Iloilo Province).

You will notice a bit of a sliggish posting for this week, this is because I’m getting busier at school. I’ll be posting once again when I’m a bit free.

Once again, thanks!!! :)
