    Do you advertise/market your green initiatives?

    Hi all, I think 2017 will be a year with a lot of focus on the environment and green initiatives, even though USA's next president is a climate change denier. The society and the scientific community could try and counter-act by doing more for the environment. DiCaprio's NatGeo documentary could...

    Last call for mobile

    Will the change in crawling significantly impact rankings? In a word, no. As is usually the case, though, there’s a caveat. Both Illyes and his cohort, Paul Haahr, said that mobile-first indexing shouldn’t result in a significant change in the rankings. They added that it’s too early to tell...

    Why to have your own online reservation system (Non OTA)

    I would like to jump in with some info. The website that nataliebee refers to is the new-ish service that booking started offering after they acquired buuteeq last year. It is called BookingSuite and they create "custom" websites for the properties in exchange for a 10% cut out of all sales via...

    What's the thing you want to hear in reviews?

    Hi folks, Just got an idea for a topic after reading this one: https://www.innspiring.com/node/18261 So here it goes: when customers leave a review on websites, what are the things that you would like to be mentioned? Is there something that people usually avoid mentioning but you would love to...

    Have you tried using Facebook Retargeting/Remarketing?

    Don't forget that even if you had 1000 visitors last months, only a part of them were actually logged in on Facebook. It can be 10% or 90% and anything in between. But it is a good thing you mentioned this, I didn't even think this could be a problem.

    Have you tried using Facebook Retargeting/Remarketing?

    The Facebook Pixel in itself doesn't show anything on the front-end. It is only a tool to start populating a custom audience list. Simply adding it to the website doesn't do anything. BUT, after you build a custom audience, you CAN create a Facebook Ad and target it only at this custom audience...

    Seriously? Like Really?

    Some years ago I have started working on a local travel website in my country. My wife (girlfriend at that time) and I traveled the most popular attractions in the country (small country, about 450 km long) with my car, spent money on gas and on car parts (really poor roads). I took a bunch of...

    Wine sales...

    One property that I'm familiar with (not in the US) doesn't have a license to sell beer or wine, and they are located some kilometers away from the closest supermarket. So as a convenience they have a separate fridge outside the main building fully stocked with beer, which is complementary for...

    Mary's got a New on line for real site !

    1.2. Sorry for mentioning the wrong *cause of the horizontal scroll bar for the page. It is actually caused by this code for the header: @media (min-width: 981px) .et_fullwidth_nav #main-header .container { width: 100%; max-width: 100%; padding-right: 30px; padding-left...

    Mary's got a New on line for real site !

    1. Check the footer, there are 2 issues: 1.1. There's some code sticking out at the end of the page: " ); 1.2. The horizontal scroll bar is active (because of the "Jump to Top" icon). 2. It is recommended that links have some :hover and :focus effects, such as changing the color of the...

    Pro Photos Received

    When combining photos it is always a good idea to leave an equal amount of space (margins) between them. This collage would look better (imo) with a 5px white spacing between all the photos (vertically and horizontally).
