Web Sites - We Have the Answers

Florida's beach resorts have greatly benefitted from the internet. A very high percentage of visitors researched their vacation area online prior to making a reservation. As a method of telling YOUR STORY, the price the internet is ridiculously low. With basic hosting averaging about $180 a year and our average client resort averaging 500 "Visits" per day, the cost per visit is about $.001.

So what you have on your website is vital. Advertising experts agree you have about 4 seconds to "harpoon" a viewer and pull them in to your site, or they move on.

NOTE: Hits vs Visits

The majority of visitors say the website was critical in the decision process, so the content on your site is critical.

  • Does it truly show off your best features ... quickly?

  • Do you actively solicit link exchanges with tourist related businesses?

  • Do people get past your home page?

  • Do you use Google Adwords?

  • Do you use video to create excitement?

  • Can visitors see your accommodations?

  • Are you paying for referral links ... and are they producing?

Room Slide Shows

These can provide visitors with a great look at your suites and rooms. WE shoot your rooms with an ultra wide-angle, distortion-free lens so nearly all four walls can be seen in a single view. We can either shoot every room and develop an animated site plan to direct them to a room, or shoot representative classes of rooms. View examples Below:

Individual Rooms, each room is a separate slide show Sand Pebble  

First we determine a client's objectives for a website, and then develop a theme, produce photography and animations, and manage quality websites to meet the needs of our discriminating clients. We also develop a strategy to drive targeted clients to the site and  measure results.

Video Tours

A number of our clients have found a video presentation to be very successful in telling their story.

A sample video tour can be seen here:

Awesome Anna Maria

Additionally, under a project titled "Awesome Anna Maria" we shot Helicopter approaches and orbits in HD video of most of the resorts on Anna Maria Island . An example is the approach and orbit to Harrington House Bed & Breakfast , which itself gets 250 plays per month. In addition, we did a low level, around the island video, all of which can be seen at AwesomeAnnaMaria.com..

Measuring Results

We work with our clients to seed their site with word lists and phrases to tell the search engine "spiders" what the site is about, cultivate industry related inter-links and a Google Adwords program. In order to  provide first class service for our clients, we insist that they host the site through us with www.HostMySite.com. This assures regular system backups, continuity of service 24/7/365 access to support, excellent email and statistical tracking. Optionally, hosted Exchange Server and Sharepoint are reasonably available.

A sampling of the statistical data can be seen here.  Check out the client sites listed below.
