<p>InsideOut is proud to showcase one of our latest website designs: Azalea Inn. This glorious 19th century, colonial style bed and breakfast is located in the heart of the historic district of Savanna Georgia, located near Forsyth Park and the Savannah heritage garden.</p>
<p>Our design team worked closely with innkeeper Teresa  Jacobson to produce a website that works to capture and showcase the romance and southern charm her bed and breakfast has to offer guests. Since the siteâ€™s redesign several weeks ago, there has been a significant increase in online reservations.</p>
<p>Features of the website include: beautiful photography, a custom Google map of the innkeeperâ€™s recommended attractions in the surrounding area, such as good restaurants, and nearby shopping, parks, gardens etc. The website is built in WordPress, which allows the innkeepers full access to add photos, videos and edit the content throughout the entire website at a momentâ€™s notice. Also included is a blog for the innkeepers to post recent news, inn specials and packages, and area events; all content that will serve to increase traffic to the website.</p>
<p>Congratulations to Teresa and Micheal on the success of your new website, and for running such a lovely Bed and Breakfast in Savannah Georgia!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are mighty proud to announce that Jeff Logan was the recipient of the &#8220;2009 Trudy O&#8217;Reilly Award&#8221; from the <a href="http://www.texasbb.org">Texas Bed and Breakfast Association</a> (TBBA). We were all excited and gathered around in the office to see what had arrived for us from TBBA. When we saw Jeff&#8217;s name on the plaque, we were happy for him! The TBBA means so much to Jeff and all of us.</p>
<p>The Trudy O&#8217;Reilly award is given to those who &#8220;contribute generously of time and spirit to the Texas Bed and Breakfast Association&#8221;. When we look back on all the work we have done for the TBBA, it is very flattering that they have acknowledged us in this way. Some of our major goals for them has been member education and enhanced search engine placement for TexasBB.org. Through webinars, presentations and one on one conversations, we have shared the power and importance of blogging to members. We have also seen great enhancements the association site&#8217;s <a href="http://www.insideout.com/seo.php">search engine placement</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_1591" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 264px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1591" title="jeff_sunlight" src="http://www.insideout.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/jeff_sunlight.jpg" alt="" width="254" height="350" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jeff is happy about the award. He is squinting from all the sunshine in &quot;Sunny Sequim&quot; WA</p></div>
<p>With our efforts, we have seen great growth for the site. Visits are up by almost 40%, time on site is up from just over 5 minutes to 6.5 minutes. The bounce rate is down a HUGE 20% and traffic from search engines is up 20%.</p>
<p>Overall, we are so glad that the TBBA has appreciated and learned from the marketing education and advice we have provided. We enjoyed attending both recent Texas B&amp;B events, the combined meeting with PAII this March in Austin, as well as the meeting in Granbury in 2009. InsideOut was fortunate enough to be speakers at both of these events.</p>

This area, covering several counties in southwest Wisconsin, is named for it&#8217;s terrain left <strong>untouched</strong> by continental glaciers. The term â€œdriftâ€ refers to the rock, clay, and silt material that left behind by continental glaciers. Driftless is known for it&#8217;s peculiar landscapes, including deep river valleys, caves and cave systems, underground streams, and cold springs. Cold streams with cold springs as it sources are noted as superb trout habitat.<span id="more-1577"></span></span></p>
<p>The team behind the Driftless website and tourism is a collaboration of folks representing Kickapoo Valley, Crawford county and Vernon county; Pete Knapik from the Inn at Lonesome Hollow in Soldiers Grove, Marie Cimino from the Westby House Bed and Breakfast in Westby, Eric Frydenlund from the Crawford County Tourism Council, and David Boyer from the Kickapoo Valley Association. Pete and Marie had enjoyed their experiences with the <a href="http://www.wbba.org">Wisconsin bed and breakfast</a> association site we designed, and asked if we couldn&#8217;t make something similar for their unique and beautiful area of the state.</p>
<p>The site contains an abundance of information about the area. Users can read about the unique geography and the history of Driftless Wisconsin.Â  Explore the farmlands and vineyards as well as quaint, friendly towns and Amish communities. There are numerous attractions and things to do in the area: find the best places to go fishing, hiking, or camping. See the historical sights and landmarks, take a tour of the Amish and farming communities, or check out the Suggested Itineraries to plan a day trip.</p>
