What has been the most difficult part of creating and running your website?

We found it is very difficult to get a good ranking in the search engines. Since we are well known in Dar-Es-Salaam - together with our sister company - but not well known abroad, a good ranking on searches with more general search terms is very important for us.

We found is very easy to put in the content and pictures. Content is very easy as we very well know what kind of business we operate. Pictures are also very easy because we have many happy clients that mail their holiday pictures once they get home.

What was your biggest mistake?

A few times it happened we couldn't offer all the service we wanted to offer, and that should not happen!

Our website is maintained by a European friend of us. We asked him because he knows very well what he is doing and he could host te website on european servers which makes the website faster than when we would use domestic servers
