Rack card and business card designs for Garden House, Key West, FL
Catering to the Key West crowd
Key West is a favorite spring break destination and Garden House has just the right vibe for this fun-loving crowd. Garden House owners John and Connie Manasco worked with InsideOut to create a great website that’s fun and easy-to-use. Next, they needed print pieces for visitors to pick up and keep. They turned to InsideOut to design a rack card and business card that matched their site.
Old design vs. new business card design for Lookout Point
Business card update for luxury inn
Lookout Point Lakeside Inn (Hot Springs, Arkansas) was nearly out of business cards. Before reprinting them, co-owner Kristie Rosset asked InsideOut to take a look at the card and see if it needed “freshening up.” The original card was easy-to-read, but it didn’t capture the sophistication of Lookout Point. After receiving our feedback, Kristie decided it was time for a redesign.
We want to be your home on the web
You may know us for our print and web design portfolio, but InsideOut Solutions has also been offering bed and breakfast website hosting for over a decade. We have steadily grown, mostly by word of mouth and referrals from happy hosting customers. So what makes our services better than a generic web hosting plan? Let’s start by focusing on three things: Understanding Innkeepers, Inn-specific Tools, and Location.
Katie and I just got back from the Illinois B&B Conference held in Springfield, Illinois. We met many great innkeepers and made many new friends. We got to tour the Flagg Farmstead B&B, see the Illinois capital building and enjoy the freezing midwest temperatures (it never got above 25°). Our good friends Peter & Mary from Deneen Pottery, who make the best hand crafted mugs and Barton Brass from Turkish Towel Company where also vendors at the conference.
I just returned from the Arkansas B&B conference last week which was held at Mt. Magazine Resort which is the highest point in the state. A large number of innkeepers turned out to hear from a variety of speakers ranging from Jay Karen (note photo below), to the state tourism office to myself. I spoke about my current topic “Get Going with Google” which highlights all that Google has to offer.
If Jay Karen is going to be at your next conference I highly recommend you attend as he has so much great industry news to share. He has really ignited PAII with fresh ideas and leadership. He has been meeting with Trip Advisor on a regular basis to work with the issue that plague B&B’s on their site.

Old vs. new design
An update for a whimsical B&B
John F. Craig House is a Cape May, New Jersey inn owned by Barbara and Chip Masemore. They’ve created a fun yet relaxing atmosphere, preserving the building’s Victorian charm while adding the whimsy of retro signs, old toys and colorful touches.
“All my exes live in Texas, that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee” That’s how the old George Strait song goes, right folks? Well, not anymore. Now, the HAT is all about Texas! We are proud to announce that we have completed our newest State Association website for the great State of Texas! HAT, standing for the Hospitality Accommodations of Texas, are the proud owners of a new website from InsideOut Solutions. Featuring a beautiful regional map, a detailed listing of all the bed and breakfast inn members with their contact information and amenities included, and travel guide, the HAT organization is pleased to be promoting the Lone Star State with a State-of-the-art web page. This makes over a dozen state association website designs under our belt. Yee-haw!
We recently finished the new web site for the Inn at Cape Cod located in Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts. With in one week our company received more then a dozen requests to develop a web site just like what we had developed for the Inn at Cape Cod. It is always great to receive praise for great work and this thank you from the innkeepers really made us feel we hit a grand slam.
“We wanted to choose someone to design our website who had a proven track record, but also who would be prepared to work closely with us to achieve the website we wanted. Inside Out Solutions were our choice, after many months of research, and we were delighted with their professionalism and dedication to the art. Beth Logan, our designer, was very patient with us during the design process and offered us many great suggestions to enhance our own ideas, creating a quite magnificent website which our peers have nothing but praise for. Last year, when we had our old website, our potential guests would call with a room enquiry and would say they would call back, but 90% did not. This year, the difference is staggering, and that is all down to our new website. We estimate that 90% do call back and make a reservation. We feel we have a website to be proud of; after all, it is our shop window, and we want people to come in and to buy……..now that happens most of the time. Thank you Inside Out Solutions!”

The new web site
The old web site
We recently completed a new web site for the B&B Association of Tennessee. Now each member can login and update all the information about their inn, add photos, specials and local events. The new web site has also increased placement in the search engines and lowered the site’s bounce rate from 37% down to 24%. Each member can also see a click-through percentage to their sites which is an average of 84%. A huge number of referrals!
