The Better You Look...
It's that simple. If the web is your primary marketing medium, the look and feel of your web site translates directly to bookings and your bottom line.
We've been designing and redesigning B&B web sites for years now and one thing has been consistent... after we launch a new site the comments start coming in and the bookings increase. How do we know? The owner/innkeepers tell us so.
Take a look at the sites on this page to get an idea of what we've done for our B&B clients. Not only do our sites look good, they load quickly and are optimized for Google searches.
We're makeover magicians We can take an out-of-date site and create a new look and feel that reflects the character of the property and the taste of the innkeeper/owner... using virtually the same content. Below are two examples of typical "befores." The screen shots are linked to the WebArchive.org versions of the sites, snapshots in time. In both cases the owners opted to have new photos taken for their new sites. You can find their new sites by clicking on the screen shots at right.

FAQs
If we build you a new site, will you be able to update it yourself? Yes, you can use Website application software like Dreamweaver, Adobe GoLive or FrontPage. You can also use Adobe Contribute, a simpler program, to make text changes.
Can we update your site for you? Yes, you can email us your changes and we'll have them made within hours, same day guaranteed!
Do we need to move your site to a new hosting server to redesign it or update it? No, but some clients have asked us to move their site and transfer their domain too and we're happy to handle that for you. We don't host sites ourselves, but we have several economical, reliable and highly rated hosting companies that we can recommend. We focus our attention on designing websites that work from a communications perspective, are easy to navigate and get found in search results. We leave the back-up generators and T1 lines to the techies.

REDESIGN
Hamanassett B&B & Carriage House was one of the first B&B sites we redesigned. We have been updating the site for over five years, adding slide shows, new sections, bells and whistles here and there for owner Ashley Mon. She now updates some of the site herself using Adobe Contribute, but still relies on us for anything she can't handle. |
REDESIGN
The Inn at Twin Linden was recommended to us by Jumping Rocks, the very excellent photographers who specialize in B&Bs. Having been innkeepers themselves, they know the terrain and how to dress a room for a photo. We have used their photos for several B&B site makeovers and love their eye. Apparently they like how we treat their work as well. We launched the new Twin Linden site in October, 2008. We enjoyed working with owners Norm and Sue Kuestner and would love to meet them some time. |

Kennett House in Kennett Square, PA was one of the first B&Bs we helped with a redesign.
