    Website Revamp - Idea Exchange

    As a WordPress theme developer I have always wondered why so many users gravitate towards multipurpose themes (like Avada, Astra, Divi, etc.). These themes are often bloated, rely on a bunch of plugins and come with (often unnecessary) updates every other day/week. Considering that most hotel...

    Blindsided and I need some Advice

    It sounds to me like your website was set up as an "add-on domain" on this person's web hosting package, which is why you're asked to move out to your own hosting package. So even if you stay with GoDaddy, you still have to move your stuff from one package to another. What I think you should do...

    Marketing Agency - Looking For A Marketing Agency That Specializes OR Has Experience With Lodging (B&B)

    Hi, Well, before you give money to an agency, consider making your website visible and indexable to search engines. None of your content pages are indexed by Google or other search engines. Only your reviews in .pdf format are indexed, and I have to say - that's a weird decision to publish 1...

    Website nightmare week

    Glad to hear that the storm is over. Some notes: 1. Trying to access your website from Germany lands me on the WordFence firewall block list :( Is that intended? 2. Running tests via Pingdom and GTMetrix shows that your WWW version of the website redirects to the non-WWW, which causes an extra...

    Promoting Each Other

    The OTA already has millions of daily visitors, they have the customer and you hope to get a share of the pie. If you list on a new directory that doesn't have its own traction, and you start linking to it from your website (sending your hard-earned traffic to it), then most likely it will be a...

    Promoting Each Other

    I wouldn't call myself an "expert", maybe with just a tad more web experience than some other people around here. So what you want is yet another directory of inns from all around the world, but a directory that is supported by those that are listed? In theory it can work, but there are some...

    Promoting Each Other

    I would try and make these pages look a bit less "spammy". Maybe add a quick description to each property and explain why you recommend them? Like "the best house-made marmelade" or "our friends from childhood". Then the looks will be personal, and not just a collection of links meant to inflate...

    Naming a place

    The name should pass the radio/telephone test: if you say it on the phone to someone, will they be able to spell it at once by themselves, or do you have to spell it out for them?

    revenues 25% down

    I don't want my comment to sound like an advertising or something, but I do have to stress this: your website is very, very important! For example I have some customers that were doing really, really well until ~2014, when they had a strong position on TripAdvxxxx... Things were going so well...

    Time to drop "Bed and Breakfast" from our name?

    What's the profile of your average customer? Americans or non-Americans? Because in many parts of the world the word "inn" is unknown or very rarely used, while bed & breakfast is both a specific search query and a descriptor of what you do. I would surely NOT drop B&B out of the name.

    Well I need some help on this one!

    What a terrible situation to be in. Maybe the explanation is even simpler: it's not that the lady is "not bright", but she simply wants to create sufficient motives for a divorce, and didn't have the heart to do it in a different way.

    Was Anyone Else on the Acorn Webinar today?

    I would argue for Boo's value. For example I use them as a convenient discovery tool. When we travel we usually are very flexible in regards to destination and amenities, so we look for something cool and interesting. This search wouldn't be very possible without Boo, as even via Goo I would...

    Was Anyone Else on the Acorn Webinar today?

    Thank you for sharing the webinar. Goo did become quite evil in the past couple of years... Every dollar that they earn is taken from someone else's pocket... They actually don't create anything of value, they are simply the middle man in the global economy.

    Lack Of Oxygen

    Oxygen is a plugin (tool) and is not officially affiliated with WordPress or the creators of WordPress. So it is not "THE NEW visual builder for WordPress", it is "A visual builder for WordPress". It is not "new" and it is not "the" :) WordPress 5.0 will come shipped with a thing called...

    Frequently asked questions

    I'll second this. Don't make it a PDF. If you keep it as a simple HTML page, then it will be easier and quicker to update it as you go.

    Advice with regards of the B&B type I should open

    If profit is your main concern and motivation, then I think many people here will advise you to consider another line of work :)
