New Orleans Bed and Breakfast Launches New Web Site!

New Orleans Bed and Breakfast, Avenue Inn Bed and Breakfast, recently launched their new web site to the public. Inn owners Joe and Bebe have put in many hours of work to make sure their site is as attractive to the search engines as it is to the eye.

Said Innkeeper Joe:

“Bebe and I thank you all for your efforts on this project. We are pleased with the result and we hope you agree that all the back and forth was worth the effort. We are also just as pleased with the marketing efforts that have resulted in movement back to the top of the organics for our number one key word phrase. Perhaps only Acorn could have guided us back from the abyss after last year’s Panda hit. We were a bit skeptical, but we followed instructions with blind faith, and we were rewarded. Great job!

You have not heard the last of us. We are on monthly retainer. And Joe has a few more ideas for the update of this website in a year or so……”

Joe and Bebe know the importance of staying on top of their web site placement, and how a well-built site can help with that.

We hope that you will enjoy the new site as much as we do!

Osage Beach Bed and Breakfast Credits New Site with High Occupancy

Sue Westenhaver of the Inn at Harbour Ridge is a long-time Acorn customer. Sue had been patching onto the web site for her Osage Beach Bed and Breakfast in Missouri for years, and knew a new, more modern site was needed but was slightly overwhelmed with the process of building a new, custom web site.

Sue decided to have a new Turnkey site built. The requirements gathering process is much quicker than with a custom site design, and the site itself can be built and put up live much faster as well.

Sue chose bright pretty colors for her new site, and kept most of the same pages from the former site:

After the site had been launched, Sue sent us this report:

“Annie, Happy to give you, Lisa, and Acorn a raving review!  :) Checked my room counts last night and for the first 60 days of 2012, I’m currently up 27 rooms over last year and knocking on the door of all time highest occupancy (that’s even before the recession or whatever).  I know my website didn’t go live till the third week of January but I could easily be closed in January – not much demand in our resort destination that time of  year… What’s amazing is that I’m getting at least one call a day for golf packages -  that says to me that I must be coming up high in searches, cause this has never happened before.  Also, I’ve either done or have six small weddings booked between mid January and April 4th…that too is AMAZING!!! I do enough of those elopements and small ceremonies and life will be good…I might become an Internet Rev!!!”

What a wonderful result to a much-needed update, and a new possible career path for Sue!

Jefferson TX Bed and Breakfast Loves New Web Site Design

Tammy and David Doriot, of the Jefferson TX Bed and Breakfast , White Oak Manor, are very happy with their new web site design.

The Doriots bought the inn not too long ago and knew they needed a fresh site with all of the latest features. Tammy has been a dedicated student of Acorn University for the past few years, and has been hard at work on her social media even in advance of the new site’s launch on March 1, 2012.

Tammy sent me a quote for this blog post from her phone while on the road, she was so excited about the new site:

“Woo Hoo! We love our new website, it’s fresh, clean and easy to navigate. The design team at Acorn really made our inn shine. Thank you Acorn. 
-Dave & Tammy Doriot”
We know that Tammy’s passion for her inn and her work will pay of in success for her business, and we are so happy to be a part of her innkeeping experience.
