New Web Site for Richmond Bed and Breakfast

July 15th, 2009 by

The William Miller House is an elegant property in the historic Fan District of Richmond Virginia. A small Inn in Downtown Richmond Virginia, the innkeepers were looking to invest in a website that was going to be a great tool for them for years to come. With two guestrooms, they are extremely committed to customer service and providing dedicated & intimate care to their guests.

New Site Desgin for the William Miller House

New Site Design for the William Miller House

Beth Logan, our award winning lead designer, maintained the color scheme of their old site while modernizing the look and internal structure. Of course, all website designs at InsideOut are made with Cascading Style Sheets, and optimized for Search Engine Placement.

They have a different style of photo gallery, one that allows them to include descriptions of the photos. When a visitor clicks on the photo, it is pulled into a lightbox for better viewing. Try this feature on the breakfast page and click on the smaller inlay photos to view them larger.

The innkeepers of this Richmond lodging are active bloggers, and we made the RSS feed from their blog a prominent section of their footer.

The site is also loading very quickly as we work to improve some of our internal mechanics for even faster service of web sites. This means storing common Javascript and CSS files on a super fast server.

Mike has already told us the website has improved his business. How can we help you? Give us a call at 1-800-500-8401 or fill out our online contact form.

Web Cams bring new business

If the beach where you want to surfing has a live web cam, you can check out the waves before loading up your gear.  Imagine seeing the day the surf come in and out throughout the day, and people enjoying the sunshine.

Now image you have a wonderful view from your lodging property and you want to show it off to potential guests. A webcam is a must!  Past and future guests will flock to your site to check the weather or just to see what is new from the view.

In the past couple of years we have helped six clients get web cams installed and running and the results have been fantastic.  Below are three examples of how adding a web cam to your site can generate lots of repeat traffic for your site.
