InsideOut Solutions proudly announces the April 20 launch of the new responsive custom WordPress website for The Captain’s Manor Inn, a premier Cape Cod bed and breakfast in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Trish & Kevin Robinson, the innkeepers, have been our website design and hosting clients since 2010 and this is the second custom website we have developed for them.
Innkeepers of The Captain’s Manor Inn Know Website Development Is Key to Web Marketing
Trish & Kevin purchased The Captain’s Manor Inn in October 2009 and approached InsideOut soon after with a very specific objective: move our website marketing technology forward. Trish’s background in marketing and had prepared her well for crafting and presenting the inn’s marketing message. Her experience in Information Technology (IT) had taught her that better tools provide better results. InsideOut Solutions was the right fit for her needs.
Over the ensuing years Trish & Kevin took our recommendations for upgrades to the website, which kept it competitive longer than is usual. Even so, these savvy innkeepers are not ones to rest just because something is working. They had been watching our new website launches and knew the time had come to rethink and rebuild their website. We were very happy to be their choice (again) for that job.
The New Responsive Custom WordPress Website for The Captain’s Manor Inn
As always with a custom website, Lead Web Designer Beth Edwards worked directly with Trish to craft a new look and feel that met both the innkeeper’s vision and our cutting edge technological standards. The process was smooth since the two had worked together on the previous website.
From there, the website was coded in to include:
- A responsive custom WordPress website theme that adapts the “look and feel” layout element to the web browser automatically, which ensures it looks its best on all devices is being used to view it

Internet Marketing Manager Shawn Kerr provided both pre- and post-launch SEO services. Both page content and code were optimized via page edits and the Yoast SEO plugin during the proofing process. Redirects were created for each and every URL of the previous website to ensure no “page not found” errors would show up to have a negative impact on either search engines or visitor experience.
