Interactive Web Sites - Engaging Your Customers
Wildside Highland Lodges
The owners of Wildside Highland Lodges required a web site that would significantly improve their exposure to search engines. We also provided a bespoke online booking system that enables visitors to view availability in real time and make bookings.

Wester Ross Retreats
A good example of a web site that needed to show visitors availability of the holiday cottages to potential customers. In its infancy but expanding steadily, the site provides a valuable resource. Also provides a simple content management system to allow the site owner to easily add properties.
Wilderness Cottages
Winner of the W@W 2003 eTourism award. Provides real time availability and secure booking system as well as many other features such as a guest book and newsletter facility. A content management system allows the administrator to add properties and latest news stories as well as to send out newsletters and administer on-line bookings.
Evergreen B & B
We didn't provide the graphic design or the static coding for this web site but we provided the dynamic availability calendars. The calendars are administered on line by the site owner via a control panel. A good example of how we can work with existing designs to prove a more valuable experience for web site visitors.

Antonine Wall Cottages
A web site with a Roman touch. The owner requested a web site that was updateable using software of her choice and had a good deal of input regarding design and content. The design is fully compliant to the latest web standards. The owner also took advantage of our starter web promotion package.

Kerrow House
Kerrow House Bed & Breakfast and Self Catering Cottages asked us to provide a more professional web site that would help promote their business. The owner provided much of the content and had input into the graphic design.
Ample Cottages
A web site built to promote large holiday homes. A companion web site to Wilderness Cottages, subscribers have the opportunity to utilise the existing booking system or subscribe to the web site and deal with enquiries directly.
Loch Ness Cottages
Andy's web site. Built and maintained by himself, this web site promotes his own holiday cottage that is available to let year round. The site will expand over time (as long as Andy can find some!).
The Steadings Hotel
The Steadings hotel already had a web site but it provided very little in the way of business. They asked us to provide something that would work on a very tight budget. Subsequently they asked us to integrate foreign language versions of their web site.
Riverside Gallery
A web site designed to fit in with existing artwork and colour schemes. A good example of one of our budget web sites.
