The Accommodation Award for April goes to...

Brunswick Apartment Queenstown

Great pictures and good design go a long way toward creating a positive first impression of a website. This is all important when promoting quality accommodation to an international guest. On the site's main page, all content fits easily in the browser window and "scroll over" buttons tell you where you are headed. Throughout the site, good quality, interlaced pictures and duotone backgrounds re-inforce the feeling of a quality site. Whilst it's hard to find fault with such an attractive site, our judges where a little concerned by a request for credit card details to be emailed or faxed. Given that email is not the most secure means by which to transmit sensitive information, perhaps just 'fax' would do. A secure online form would be an even better option. Good to see that more sites are remebering to state that prices are in $NZ. A great site that really makes you "want to go there".
