Innkeepers Web Services

They say you always leave your own work until last. Sort of like the plumber that has a house with leaky pipes. Well anyway I finally got around to launching my own B&B’s new web site. It looks very similar to the old one, however like all my clients it uses a WordPress backend with a number of tweaks.

As always I do not sell myself as a graphic designer however with some decent photography and the correct info this site works really well.

Some of the improved features include;

• Translation in to multiple languages
• Twitter Integration
• Blog for Inn’s Journal and Attractions
• Specials and Packages
• Google Map Integration

It is doing well with the Search engines, although this is not truly a competitive market for B&Bs. It does hit some nice phrases that I know no one else is targeting. It all makes for guests who are happy to discover us, and may travel a little further to get to us.

Rebecca Combs, Licensed Massage Therapist, needed a simple site that helped her get the word out for her unique style of massage. It was extremely simple to have her site place well for such unique search terms, especially teaming them up with Olympia.

I love it when a client lets me run with an idea. In this case the client did not want to spend a lot, but wanted a better impact than he was achieving with his GoDaddy powered site.

So I said give me a go, I will find something that showcases your photography better, and makes it relatively simple to update the site.

So after a couple days of work I had implemented a premium theme, from StudioPress (why reinvent the wheel when their work is so great?), I launched the new site. Not all of the photography is there yet, but you can get a great idea of what it is now.

They specialize in Bed and Breakfast photography, and in fact took some of the photography that is on our B&B web site, and all the photography on the Day Spa site.

We created this Web site for our friends in Eastern Washington, who rescue Australian Cattle Dogs. Brooke and Dan do an amazing job, it is where we got our dog Sydney, over 4 years ago.

The site utilizes WordPress blogging capabilities and page displays to create a site that chronicles each and every dog rescued. The comment feature allows the adoptive families to send updates that are shared with the greater community.

The site allows Brooke to look after it herself. She makes all the posts and updates the various pages as she needs to.

The header allows Brooke to add additional pictures to the the random display.

This is a simple B&B Web site I created for a friend. There is no CMS or fancy bells and whistles.

It is a simple design that shows the features of the Inn.
