Priority findings and recommended moves
- FINDING 01Placeholder FAQ content is liveObserved: the homepage exposes six repeated lorem ipsum questions and answers in the FAQ block. Why it matters: a policy and booking-trust section that reads like unfinished template copy can make guests hesitate at the final decision point.Recommended move: Replace the placeholder FAQ with concise answers about rooms, amenities, policies, and booking.
- FINDING 02Gallery QA labels are visibleObserved: the gallery includes “A placeholder image of an artwork” plus a misspelled hotel-name label and “Berdoom view - The Pinch”. Why it matters: malformed and placeholder labels weaken accessibility and the premium finish of the visual story.Recommended move: Replace the placeholder asset, correct the labels, and give every gallery image descriptive alt text.
- FINDING 03Seasonal content is past its momentObserved: at the time of review, the homepage still promotes “Spring Happenings in Charleston” with March and April 2026 dates. Why it matters: expired event content can send guests toward dead-end plans and signals that offers are not actively maintained.Recommended move: Archive expired entries, publish current seasonal planning content, and assign an owner and expiry date to every event module.
- FINDING 04The accommodation module repeats itselfObserved: the homepage lists Suites, Penthouses, and Rooms, then repeats the same three category links immediately below. Why it matters: duplicated navigation adds noise where guests should be comparing room types and makes the page feel assembled rather than curated.Recommended move: Keep one category module and use the space for one-line distinctions, occupancy details, and a clear comparison path into booking.
