We met Kevin and Lynn MacWithey, at the 2007 Historic Accommodation of Texas (HAT) conference. They wanted a new web site that would better represented them in the very competitive market of Fredericksburg Texas which has more then 200 lodging properties.
With their site’s fresh new look their bounce rate has been cut in half to less then 20% and their search engine placement has greatly improved. They can now edit all the copy in their web site anytime which is part of our web site hosting service.
“I am very please with the new site and everyone I’ve told to look at it has said it is great! I worked primarily with Jack and he was very responsive, I think we did the site rather quickly! Sometimes he moved along faster than I could for making changes.”
