1) This image is not only stolen, but is 651KB.

2) The overall design looks extremely generic, no useful information above the fold. I have no idea what you're selling.

3) I have no idea what this means: "Discover new places and cultures. Select among our top European destinations. Book now."

4) Your "How it works" page makes no sense either. It literally says:

- Select your desired destination

- Choose length of stay (min 2 weeks)

- Reserve paying a 25% deposit (refundable until 1 month before departure)

- Arrange any documentation needed

What does it all mean? Are you a travel agency? Why 2 week minimum? What's the deposit for? What documentation?

1) I believe it's not stolen since we got it from a a free webpage in which it was permitted to download the pictures and use them on your own website. If you know anything else about that please, let us know. If it's not permitted to be used in a web, we wouldn't use it but I believe it's not the case.

And about the other points, thanks, we just want to test the idea out, I guess we have to explain it better, so we will try to make it easier to understand.

We are an agency that wants you to meet interesting people while traveling and working remotely, the min 2 weeks is there because we believe that could be a minimum to make a meaningful impact within this community.

The image has the watermark of the site is it sold on all over it, which very much looks like you saved the preview image from the download page.

I'll check it out asap as we don't want to steal any work, but I believe it was free to use and we downloaded it because of that like the other images from the same website, thanks for your comment

1) That's not how copyright works. You took an image with watermarks and used it on a commercial website.

2) If I'm already traveling, why should I book anything with you?

I will check that out and if necessary, delete it,

Plan would be to give you people to connect and a plan of experiences to do together, like trips to cities close to the destinations, activities inside the locations in which we are and services like coworking or gym membership

You need to explain this, it's not clear from your current website. Instead of "book blah blah blah" your message should be something like "plan activities with other people".

We are testing an idea of developing communities in different places in Europe, here's the first try: http://nomadclub.co/ In case your answer could be yes, what do you think the website should have and what do you think it'd be important for the service to provide? would you use it? we're happy to take any feedback! :)
