A List of Tucson & Southern Arizona Bed and Breakfasts

A List of Tucson & Southern Arizona Bed and Breakfasts new website.

A List of Tucson & Southern Arizona Bed & Breakfasts has been a client of InsideOut since 2002, and this is the second website that InsideOut Solutions has developed for them. Some of the features available on their new site include searching by city, name, or available amenities. There are also Google Maps that display all members within a particular radius – allowing for a very intuitive search by location option. Members of this association are able to manage most details of their own listing, including updating their photos. ListBB’s president, Rosemary Brown, runs her own inn as well, Hacienda del Desierto, and InsideOut Solutions has had the pleasure to work with her to manage her own inn’s website in addition to the association’s.

Bed and Breakfast Association of Kentucky gets a New Site

September 29th, 2009 by

Working with the diverse state of Kentucky on their new Association web site was a pleasure. They were looking forward to utilizing some of the great tools we have developed for Bed and Breakfast Association web sites, such as an interactive map, our varied means for searching for lodging, and a special rotating “featured inns” section in the footer.  They are also the first association to use our new reviews feature.  This allows an association to show reviews from TripAdvisor, Bedandbreakfast.com, BnbFinder.com and Yelp.com right on a members listing.

The New Site for B&B Assoc. of Kentucky

The New Site for B&B Association of Kentucky

Our goal, like with most Association sites, was to create a tool that would benefit the members. The first week of statistics have been great, with an extremely low bounce rate of 13.37%, 10.20 pages per visit, and 8:14 minutes average time on site!

Our interactive map is colorful and engaging, allowing the user to click on the region they are interested in, as well as on the title of that region from the map key. This click brings them directly to the page with the B&B listings for that region. These listings are not organized alphabetically, but rotate randomly so that each inn has a chance to be the #1 listing for their region. However, the user does have the ability to organize them by alpha should they prefer.

The regions map is not the only way a user can search for a Kentucky Bed and Breakfast. The member’s listings are also available by city, alphabetically, search field or even specials and packages.

There is also an extensive section on interests and destinations in Kentucky for users to explore and browse in conjunction with the Kentucky Tourism web site.

We are so glad to have worked with the Bed and Breakfast Association of Kentucky, and look forward to seeing the site pay off for their members!

InsideOut to design new Kentucky Bed and Breakfast Association

April 27th, 2009 by

InsideOut Solutions is pleased to announce that we will be designing a new site for the Kentucky Bed and Breakfast Association. The site will launch in August, and will be a more effective venue for the more than 60 bed and breakfasts in the state.

Kentucky is a beautiful state that is rich in history. Many of the bed and breakfasts are historic inns: a secluded farmhouses on a hundred acres; a renovated Shaker Tavern; an 1850s log cabin. There are newly built inns as well, some in contemporary style and some more traditional. The new site will make finding the right bed and breakfast a pleasant experience for travelers in- and to- Kentucky.

We look forward to working with the Kentucky Bed and Breakfast Association, and to creating a seamless new look for them.

Nebraska Bed & Breakfast Association's website to have new look.

April 27th, 2009 by

InsideOut Solutions is pleased to have been selected to design a new site for the the Nebraska Association of Bed and Breakfasts. The NABB represents almost fifty inns from all over this diverse state, from Scottsbluff to Humbolt to Crofton. We look forward to designing a site that will showcase the natural beauty of Nebraska, and help travelers find bed and breakfasts to suit them.nabb-logo-3-11

Many visitors are interested in exploring the varied terrain of Nebraska. The landscape has ranch and farm land, woods and rolling hills, surprising sandhills, and crystal clear rivers and streams. There are inns spread out along miles of trails that cross the state, inviting bikers to inn-hop. Some inns cater to outdoor sportsmen, and even provide kennels and extra-large freezers for their guests. Other inns are steeped in the history of the region.

In short, there is much to praise in Nebraska, and we at InsideOut are determined to build a site for the Nebraska Association of Bed and Breakfasts that underscores that. The new site will launch in August.
