Airport - Blackpool International

The Blackpool International Airport website is certainly not an artistic one. It has a basic design with navigation across the top and along the left side, and content filling the rest of the page. Even the rollovers are basic with the text only changing from white to orange. Once you click one of the side links to another page, there is a change, in that there are more sublinks under the main link for that page. However, nothing happens when you rollover, not even a color change, which I find a bit odd.

There are quite a few links on any given page that can show you different forms of transportation from the airport, or tell you the different airport facilities that are there etc. There are three main categories located on the top right of the header which links to Car Parking, Flight Info, and booking flights. Since those are the three things I think about first when I want to travel, it's a good move on their part to have placed the categories in a position where it can be viewed easily.

This site is very informative, but no overly wordy to the point where I'd get bored and refuse to look at any more on it. There is one spot on nearly every page that has an advert offering discounts. I'm glad it's just the one spot and the adverts rotate out depending on the page you visit. I would hate to visit an airport website and be bombarded with ads constantly.

So, although the website is fairly basic, with hardly anything flashy (the adjective, not the program), I do think it's functional and straight to the point. It looks professional and that's one of the more important things.
