Navigation around the site is done by a simple menu on the left of the screen. This allows the user to navigate to the various sections of the site easily. To make the navigation of the site even clearer, this menu has been split into two sections with one section dealing with the main pages of the site and other that has links to the contact pages and the booking pages.

The site is clean and bright looking, using a variety of colours such as gray, white and green to separate and differentiate between the different elements of the site. By doing this, it makes it much clearer to the user of the site which elements are related to each other.

To make the booking process easier for the clients, a calendar has been implemented into the booking page. This allows the user to see what days they can book at the villa. This allows them to not waste their time trying to book days which are unavailable.

The Tri-Train site, is a clean looking site which fulfils its task well of informing people about the villas in Lanzarote, but also in making the booking procedure as easy as possible.

The homepage of the site is mainly used to inform visitors to the site about the services that Elizabeth Rose offers and also direct users of the site to the social media available.

Navigation around the site is kept simple by using tabs at the top of the screen, allowing the users of the site easy and quick access to all of the various services that are available on the site.

In order to give the site a clean and fresh look, all of the content on the pages is contained within white boxes. This helps to make the site look tidy and makes it easier for the user to see what pieces of information are relevant to that section of the page.
