South Dakota Tourism

http://www.travelsd.com/

I like this website a lot. The only thing that I would change is the header. I like the changing pictures in the header, but it is way too big. I like the navigation and the brown background. I like that the logo is on every picture in the header. I also think it was a good idea to put "Start Planning" and "Book Online" as side bars. The only thing I would change about that is the font because it's a little hard to read and I didn't notice it at first. I like the search bar up top. I think it was a good idea to put little icons of different countries in the search bar because they are actual links to the South Dakota website and brochures in different languages like French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese. I don't think the footer needs to be that big. There is a lot of empty space in the footer and they should go shorter with it. I like that they have a photos and videos section in the body area. Overall, I think this is a well designed website, but it needs to be smaller. It seems a little top heavy.
