Central Asia Travel http://www.east-site.com/

So, first of all i work on screen with 1024x768 pixels resolution and you can notice if you enlarge image on the left that this site is too big for my screen.
Secondly, this company appears to be working from US. See their contact us page.
Thirldy, i like when company talks to its clients or at least offers them some place to express themselves. This is what East Site did. (by the way this is a bit strange name for company that works only on post USSR central asia countries - i mean East is kinda bigger) They have very well integrated phpbb forum software to create such place. There is a problem here though. Forum was created on 18 Feb 2007 and since that moment there are 9 registered users. One gets the impression that company's site is dead and no one visits them. This is always a dilemma with forums - you want to create it for people to hang out and yet it appears that they do not want to.
Fourthly, it appears that East Site is a specialist in Uzbekistan as shows their tours page review. They have 10 tours for uzbekistan and maximum 3 tours for one other country in CA.
Fifthly, they offer hotel list only for three countries - Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. I am sure they offer services of hotel booking for other countries but for whatever reason they are not online.
Sixthly, their US passport service is a great thing. It also points out to specialization of site on US clients.
Company is really a US-Uzbekistan specialist even though it claims Central Asia presence.
My grade - 4 out of 5
