Mount Sunapee Resort, New Hampshire

Coming in at number two on Ski Magazines best groomed runs is
Mount Sunapee Resort in NewHampshire.
You can tell from spending just a few minutes on their web site that they’ve been around the block a time or two.
This is both good and bad. It’s good because they’ve made it easy to find the information your looking for.
Within 10 seconds I was able to find lodging, photos of the lodging and how much it would cost me to stay there.
They have a nice selection of Bed & Breakfasts, Country Inn’s, Hotels & Motels as well as Houses and Cottages.

The bad part about being around for so long is that the page looks dated.
There isn’t a freshness or attention payed to the detail of layout and branding.
Another dead givaway is looking into their code. One of the first things that pops up is the Adboe Photoshop
generated code for pre-loading images. Then we start seeing the old and depricated table-based layout.
I must say though that I’ve seen much worse. While they are using table-based layout it isn’t
tortured by overbearing attributes, font tags and needless markup. It is generally pretty clean code on the front-page.

There’s a lot of potential for this site as there are some beautiful surroundings but they are just not featured
prominently enough. There’s a lot of data on this site and it could be helped by giving it a good grooming just
like they did for their ski trails.

Overall I would give the site an C for form and a A- function.
