Hotel Sezz in Paris - installment 2


so the site is live now and it captures the very different attitude to the web between the anglo-saxons (aka UK and US) and France.
The French still do not seem entirely convinced that the web is a business tool - more a bit of fun, unlike the english speaking marketers who obsess about online booking, etc. This is a flash movie with an email address at the end.

It's interesting to see something that looks really nice and then allows the visitor to... well pretty much nothing.

Note the very subtle bubbles that float up the screen.
Question: how will they cope with the search engine needs, since there are no words as far as I can see, so nothing to spider.

Dear Sholto,
Thanks for your comments, we Frenchy (as you say, but I'd prefer European, while few of us working at Sezz are french) have still to learn, but please be informed that this was just a first set up of our website right after the opening of our hotel. I've already been informed that flash sites really are out of date and informed our designer. Hopefully our definite website (coming up soon) will please you more.
You're right about Sezz looking great, because in reality it does!
Best regards,
Eva
