Here are some basic instructions about the changes I've made to your site and what you need to do from here on out.
1. First, in the root directory you'll find several new versions of the main pages of the site, plus a couple of extras:
- index_new.htm - the new home page
- about_us.htm - the new page about the company
- contact_us.htm - contact information
- photo_gallery.htm - a new general photo gallery, to supplement the trip-specific pages inside
- registration_form.htm - a page to download Adobe Acrobat and the registration form.
- tour_staff.htm - the smiling faces and bios of your staff.
- instructions.htm - this page you are reading right now
- sitemap.htm - a page that automatically generates a list of the pages on the site, with links. It's not for the general public, but it is very useful for submitting the site to spider-based search engines that "crawl the links" listed on a page.
These pages are all essentially complete and individually optimized for the search engines. I used the old information from the site and reformatted it to fit the new template. I also carried over the corresponding pictures. Of course, you're welcome to tweak the content, add/subtract pictures, and so forth, but these are ready to go as-is. The only thing you would need to do after you finish setting up the rest of the site is to rename your old index page (while connected via FTP) to something like "index_old.htm", and then rename the new index page above to simple "index.htm".
2. Second, you'll notice a directory named "Content2002". This contains the following pages:
Here is where the bulk of your work to finish the site lies. The first three pages are essentially complete just like the main ones, although you may want to tweak them a bit. For each of the tour package pages, though, you'll need to do some formatting. What I did was copy over mostly the text material from your old pages, and I did it in a way that removes all of the formatting information that was on the old pages. I had noticed that you had probably written the itineraries in something like MS Word and then copied the info into the HTML pages. That makes formatting easy, but it does two bad things. First, all of the strange formatting codes interfere with how the search engines index those pages, and second, the pages don't always render correctly on everyone's browser out there. So you will need to go through those pages after you download the folder to your computer and do three things:
Once you have completed formatting the information and placing your photos, then it's time to take the new site "live", simply by renaming the index pages as I described above. And once the site is live, then the fun begins...submitting it to the search engines so that you are found by the rest of the world. The instructions for that will be on page 2: instructions2.htm
