I was just throwing out examples of why people "bounce." I did not mean to imply (infer? Where's Conan
) that all those things apply to you. (Pop ups etc.) You asked why people bounce, and I answered why people will leave a site, without specifically referring to your site. As to the rate thing, it was just an example too. Most providers actually won't put their rates on the first page, so someone like me might check out 2 pages (home page, rate page) and then "bounce." No need to go further. However if rates are within my range and pictures are attractive to me, I will keep clicking on other pages.
As to attraction, it's great that you have that confidence in yourself, but reality is reality. Everyone has different taste and some people will find you attractive and some will not.
Now when I mentioned navigation I was also just giving a potential reason and not directing it to your site, but now 2 people on this thread have mentioned navigation specifically regarding your site, so that is definitely something you should look at. Just because you find it easy to navigate, does not mean your potential clients do. It looks like you are looking at that now according to your reply to Steph.
Good luck!

Thank you for your response!
I can definitely say that I do not have pop ups *laughs*. I, as well as many others, have found the site quite easy to use. However, I may make a static menu at the top of the page. This way those that do not grasp the "slider" menu can use that. It may upset the aesthetics but it's ok.
You do have a point about attraction or rates. However, to see rates, you have to get past the home page. My confidence tells me I'm a pretty exotic enchantress. If it's due to non-mutual attraction, I think they are out of their mind.
Again, thank you for the input. I'll take it into consideration.
