Tourism Website Proposal

Written by Joanna Bergdoll Wednesday, 08 September 2010 00:00

General

We created this proposal for Virginia's Retreat, which is a collaboration between fourteen South Central Virginia localities to work together to promote tourism in their respective areas. Virginia's Retreat wanted to redesign their website with an updated design and feel, but wanted to maintain much of the vital content and architecture of their site. While we were not awarded the job, the proposal is adaptable for any type of tourism entity. Please contact us for pricing information.

 

Executive Summary

Overview

In preparing this proposal, we focused our strategy for this project on the balance between form and function. An attractive website design must be coupled with a fully-functional website including intuitive navigation. Beauty is lost if the purpose of the site is not achieved. We believe that while the new site should be updated and current, we also know that connecting with potential visitors (and potential revenue) is the ultimate goal.

 

In this proposal, we will enthusiastically present our solution and show how we can help you achieve success in promoting tourism in your area.

 

Background

WinWorld has been developing and managing static XHTML/CSS websites for enterprise level clients for over a decade. Over the years we have not only developed in our understanding of the ever-changing technology, we have also honed our processes to deliver a collaborative web development experience that yields optimal results. We will work with you to ensure your website is user friendly and completely current. Check out some of the examples of work we have completed for other businesses and organizations within the tourism industry. We’re well experienced with working with the specific needs of tourism.

 

Summary of Project Approach

Our project approach is practical and disciplined, incorporating our client's input throughout the entire life cycle on priorities, scope, findings, recommendations and, most of all, expected deliverables.

We will leverage best practices while adopting them to the needs and culture of the client.

The goal is to ensure that the client receives value and its expectations are exceeded as they relate to investment of time and money.

We leverage our Client Engagement Process, which provides the foundation for all project communications. Those components include:

1. A review of tasks, responsibilities and expected deliverables before each phase.
   
   
2. Regularly-scheduled project update meetings with project stake holders.
   
   
3. Meeting recaps.
   
   
4. On-time / on-budget reviews.
   
   
5. Identification of project concerns, risks and issues.
   
   
6. Obtaining client feedback and taking appropriate actions.
   
   
7. Escalation process.

General

When it comes to website design and implementation, our goal is simple – we want to make the client look great. Our experience over the years has helped many clients improve their visual identity on the web. We understand the importance of maintaining the current content of the site, while creating a very evident design distinction for the new website. New and exciting functionality, including the ability to create and manage forms and mapping resources, will be incorporated into the new site.

 

Design

WinWorld’s website design process consists of a streamlined process that has proven to be both simple and effective. We start by asking specific questions about colors, branding, message, and what other websites our clients like. By getting a solid idea about what the client wants before we begin, we can offer options that provide variable design options while still maintaining the creative direction and objective of the client.

 

WinWorld will provide three (3) initial design concepts. We will generate the initial design drafts in Photoshop and deliver via email in JPG format. We like to establish one of the three drafts as the main design direction. For subsequent revisions, ideas from the other two design concepts can be incorporated into the design or new concepts can be introduced. The selected design may be submitted for up to five revisions. Once a design is finalized, WinWorld will convert the design into XHTML/CMS format. WinWorld will also supply up to ten (10) subpage layouts. The sub-page layouts are designed with your overall site design in mind to keep your site harmonious and recognizable, but provide a definite distinction.

 

Navigation

While we realize and acknowledge the importance of functionality in a website backend and have the programming experience to handle most functionality issues, we are primarily a web design company. Functionality is lost if the site does not have intuitive usability. We are experts in usability and understand that navigation is the core component of usability. We have spent a great deal of time studying user behavior in order to provide our clients and their site visitors with intuitive, user-friendly site navigation. We focus strategically on sensible navigation, which includes obvious ways to navigate back from a subpage on all pages. We have extensive experience implementing numerous types and aspects of navigation, including, but not limited to:

• Dropdown menus
• Submenus
• Rollovers
• Flyouts
• Floating menus
• Detached menus
• Horizontal and/or vertical text
• Breadcrumbs
• Tabs (or top buttons)
• Sitemap

Database Integration

WinWorld an extensive background in database integration that will provide more than enough experience to satisfy these requirements. In 2007 WinWorld was a development partner for the company, Salesforce.com – a leading CRM web application. We developed a third party marketing integration for Salesforce that communicated exclusively via the SOAP API that Salesforce provides for integration. We integrated with and have also built XML APIs for integration. We’ve worked with reading and creatively redisplaying data from different types of XML formats such as Atom, RSS, and iTunes feeds.

 

As an example of database integration, recently we developed a “feed aggregation” system which takes XML data from multiple sources, including multiple social networking properties, and brings them under one roof. This project was one hundred percent comprised of aggregating together a large quantity of data feeds and XML formats. Using this system would enable the viewer to see a "live combined feed" from all the social media properties that have been included – providing a snapshot of “what’s happening now" and would also provide important metrics for evaluation across many types of media.

Optimization

While we certainly love broadband Internet access and the opportunities it opens for graphic-intense design, we do understand that many users (particularly those in rural areas) must still rely on dialup Internet access. We have worked with clients who have beautifully designed websites that need to be usable in this type of situation. We have a solution that can allow you to “have your cake and eat it too.” We can integrate a function that allows the site visitor to turn off graphic intensity, while still maintaining the overall design concept of the site. For example Graphic1 shows the full design version of the site, while Graphic2 shows the site optimized for a slow connection.

Supported Browsers

We adhere to Yahoo User Interface A-Graded browser support list as a designation for which browsers and platforms we support:

 

The only exception is IE 6. We phased out support for IE6 in March 2010. Google and many others are phasing out support for IE 6 throughout 2010.

 

Information Request Form

We have substantial experience dealing with creating and managing information request and contact forms. We have designed and implemented a number of forms for clients, including contact us, information request, quote request, feedback, and support request forms.  We will design the form with Virginia’s Retreat’s specifications, with the required fields including, but not limited to, the zip code and email address. This form management solution also allows you to backup and restore forms, as well as export form data. This form creator has all the form fields that you need when building custom forms. It also contains anti-robot spam tests to reduce the amount of automated spam being submitted via forms. It contains built-in form layouts that you can use without any knowledge or HTML or PHP. The forms can be simple text-based forms or beautifully crafted works of art complete with images textboxes, dropdowns, radio buttons and other components. You can even display confirmation messages for the submitter and send confirmation emails to multiple email addresses. This solution is simple albeit effective and powerful tool for creating, using, and managing forms. Information submitted through forms on the site can be received by multiple email addresses and can be exported from the CMS in .csv format. The exported information can be accessed by Microsoft Excel or any other program that allows importation of .csv file format.

 

In regards to integrating with other tools, there is no doubt the form system will be able to accommodate even advanced needs. We have made this system render complex government forms online, allowing the user to fill them out via the web, digitally sign them and print them if needed. Form results can be sent in real time to other databases or web services, for example, it’s possible that once the form has been submitted, to also send the data along to a payment processing services such as Authorize.net or PayPal.

 

Get a Map

WinWorld happens to have an extensive background in web mapping systems. Our first experience goes back to 2005 when we developed a product for the real estate industry called MapLink. The product would pull data feeds from multiple MLS systems the Realtor was a member of and would combine search results on a searchable map. The mapping system was rendered in Flash connected with the mapping provider, ESRI.

 

 

We gained further experience in 2007 when we launched the first version of NeighborhoodFriends.com, one of the first location-based social networks that would connect neighbors with each other based on common interests. We utilized Google maps and implemented a location sensor that would show the user very basic information about people around them, enticing them to join to see more information. The importance of other location based social networks has been evidenced by the fast growth of services such as Gowalla, BrightKite and Foursquare.

 

More recently we have provided simple mapping integrations. One example is a mapping application for the Potomac Conference of Seventh Day Adventists that lets website visitors locate a school or church near them.

 

 

The application allows for the uploading of the locations into a database in CSV format. While the mapping application uses Google as the base, custom icons can be provided. Custom information such as pictures and weblinks can be inserted into the popup that appears when you click the icon.

 

Replace Flash Map

Flash compatibility has long been a concern for web developers, because Flash must be installed (and updated). Flash is not always compatible with many user’s computers. Flash content increases wait time for a website loading and decreases compatibility. Flash is also a concern with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as search engines do not read Flash in the same way they interpret HTML content. Removing this Flash-based map and replacing with a static image, will maintain the integrity of the map, but open up usability for a plethora of users.

 

Google Site Search

Our content management system has a very robust search tool integrated within it. What makes it robust is it’s ability to search across all content found within the system. Content can be in various formats such as calendar events, map locations, downloads, pages, comments, articles, photos. The search has the ability to query all formats of data or allow the user to choose which types of content he/she would like to search. The search feature includes reporting that will allow the client to observe how site users are using the search.

 

Accessibility

Basic accessibility measures have long been a standard part of our development. For example, in undertaking quality assurance on a developed web template, one of our project managers will generally do the following:

 

• Ensuring that all images used permanently in the design have alt/title text.
• Ensuring that contrast between styled text and backgrounds is great enough
• Ensuring that they can increase/decrease the font size and it will not “break” the template visually or make it inoperable.
• Minimizing the browser window as much as possible to ensure, once again, that the template maintains integrity and is still navigable. 
     (This is a quick simulation of lower resolution environments which can be encountered for people with visual disabilities).
• Ensuring that any menu items or form fields can be tabbed through and accessed via the keyboard correctly.

W3C compliance

Since we have been in business for so many years, we have extensive experience working with web standards throughout their evolution.  We have a deep level of knowledge on W3C standards and make time to monitor their evolution and educate our selves on new developments and issues.  We use http://www.w3.org/ as our primary technical reference supplemented by numerous other sources.

 

Our developers have undertaken detailed research to be come familiar and fully educated regarding the following standards:	We use the following tools for testing compliance.
WAI WCAG 1.0 Section 508 CSS 2 XHTML 1.0 Transitional	WC3 Log Validator WC3 Markup Validator WC3 Link Checker WC3 CSS Validator WC3 MobileOK Checker

 

Web Analysis Reporting Tool

We would recommend using Google Analytics (GA) for accurate global site metrics and data. We have expansive knowledge of Google Analytics and extensive experience integrating GA into our clients’ sites. GA will provide some higher level data as it pertains to the overall traffic that is coming in to the site. Here are some of the reports GA provides:

• Unique site visitors graphed over time
• The average number of pages viewed per visit
• The percentage of people who come and leave rapidly (bounce rate)
• The average time someone spends on a site
• The percentage of visitors that are new
• The geographic origination of visitors
• Pages of the site ranked by popularity and pageview quantity
• The referring sources of traffic such as direct, search engines and other websites.
• What search phrases are being entered to find the site
• Browsers, Operating systems, screen resolutions being used by visitors
• Internet Connection Speeds
• And much more.

GA is one of the most comprehensive reporting packages available on the web. Since it contains so many helpful metrics, is continually being improved, and finally, since it is free, it makes sense to incorporate into the new site.

Team Interaction

WinWorld likes to understand our clients’ mission and goals so that we can best help facilitate a web presence that will help achieve these objectives. During the planning phase of this project, we ask very detailed questions about your audience, goals, especially regarding the design direction of your site. During each phase of this project, we want to keep the lines of communication open to facilitate a productive and effective workflow. We will meet with the Primary Client Contact and other selected team members to present and exchange responsibilities so that communication and expectations are clearly defined prior to the site build-out. Our preferred meeting method is online meeting and conference call.

 

Site Files

Upon completion and launch of the website redesign project, WinWorld will supply Virginia’s Retreat with the 100% of files used to create the site. WinWorld understands that Virginia’s Retreat is the sole owner of the website and its contents. The files will be in their original format and delivered via sftp, CD, or USB drive.

 

CMS

A website built on Steller™ CMS, our industry-leading content management system, gives you the ability to easily update the website yourself. In the future, you can opt to extend website functionality through optional plugins. Steller™ CMS is outstanding because it's a web-driven application. It can be used at any time from any location. All that's needed is a web browser and an Internet connection. There is no software to purchase or download. You don’t have to know how to program to use the system – no coding is required. You can add and edit menu items, pictures, text, and formatting. Installed on our servers, Steller™ CMS is available for you to use indefinitely. There are no licensing fees or other hidden costs.

 

 

User Management

Steller™ has a user manager that lets you create unlimited logins for the back-end management system as well as host a front-end login system as well. So you could have a registered client area on your site and have some accounts that also allow employees to manage site content via the admin. This is all controlled via the user manager.

 

Media Manager

The Media Manager is the repository for the images and files you've uploaded to be displayed on your site. You only have to upload images once and they are available in the manager for use on the site from then on. The media manager lets you rename and delete files. It also has built-in cropping and resizing. You can access the media manager stand-alone or as integrated into the article editor.

 

Contact Management

Create multiple contact forms for individuals at your company. Steller™ provides basic contact forms to allow direct web to email functionality.

 

Search

Provide users with a search box that allows them to search all of your site content. All normal site pages plus most items in components are searchable.

 

Content Management

Since Steller™ is a content management system; this is where it really shines. Organize content (referred to as articles or pages) into sections and categories. You can display one article at a time or display as a list or in a blog-style. The editor that is built into Steller™ is awesome. Upload and size images, manage all styling and formatting, or embed files and media.

 

Syndication and Newsfeed Management

With Steller™, it's easy to syndicate your site content, allowing your users to subscribe to new content in their favorite RSS reader. It's equally easy to integrate RSS feeds from other sources and aggregate them all on your site.

 

Menu Manager

The Menu Manager allows you to create as many menus and menu items as you need. You can structure your menu hierarchy (and nested menu items) completely independent of your content structure. Put one menu in multiple places and in any style you want; use rollovers, dropdown, flyouts and just about any other navigation system you can think of. Also automatic breadcrumbs are generated to help navigate your site users.

 

Template Management

Templates in Steller™ are a powerful way to make your site look exactly the way you want. You can either use a single template for the entire site or a separate template for each site section. The level of visual control goes a step further with powerful template overrides, allowing you to customize each part of your pages.

 

Integrated Help System

Steller™ has a built-in help section to assist users with finding what they need. A glossary explains the terms in plain English, a version checker makes sure you're using the latest version, a system information tool helps you troubleshoot, and, if all else fails, there are links to a wealth of online resources for additional help and support.

 

System Features

Speedy page loads are possible with page caching, granular-level module caching, and GZIP page compression. If your system administrator needs to troubleshoot an issue, debugging mode and error reporting are invaluable. Administrators quickly and efficiently communicate with users one-on-one through private messaging or all site users via the mass mailing system.

Sitemap

WinWorld will create a sitemap based on the new design layout and navigation for the new Virginia’s Retreat website. The sitemap is based on the structure of the menus. This component is simple to use and can be managed thorough Steller™ CMS. You can exclude menu items and specify the priority for each menu and all items on the sitemap. This component also has cache system feature to allow rapid sitemap generation. There is also the integration of statistical information, such as the last visit date and the number of visits.

 

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

One of the benefits of working with Steller CMS is that it is already optimized for search engines. All site titles, keywords and descriptions are customizable for every page of the site. Web addresses for pages throughout the site are search engine friendly, made to look like normal HTML pages. Alternate text can be supplied for all images and all pages are easily indexed by search engines.

 

The list of search phrases that you would like to target will be the beginning of our SEO plan. We will evaluate each phrase against the traffic volume predictions for each. We explore alternate phrases and then we pair phrases with various pages within your site that will serve as the best landing page for that particular phrase. While the client provides the content, we will optimize that content to ensure maximum SEO efficacy for that key phrase target.

 

We have  a great deal of experience in SEO and can provide past optimization plans and examples of high-ranking sites upon request.

 

Additional Components

Social Media Integration

Social media has quickly become one of the most important frontiers for advertising, public relations and more. It has been said that if an organization doesn't embrace social media, it's just a matter of time before they become obsolete. Since social media has become such an integral part of the web community, we feel it is important to include this in a newly designed website. WinWorld would like to integrate Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube into the Virgina’s Retreat website in order to support current trends. Facebook and Twitter are becoming the primary sources for breaking news, and many top US advertisers utilize YouTube in their advertisement campaigns. Social media is also an integral part of an effective SEO plan. Social media is reaching more and more people every day:

• Facebook has over 400 million active users
• Twitter has over 100 million accounts
• YouTube exceeds 2 billion views per day

 

WinWorld’s integration of social media for Virginia’s Retreat would include:

Twitter page setup and theme YouTube page setup and theme Initial information and content insertion    (This would not include ongoing content) Incorporation of the three brand logos

Blog

WinWorld will integrate the blog component into your website. You can post the content as it is written or write a number of articles and automate when they are displayed on your site. You can organize your content into categories. Site visitors can comment on your posts, however you can decide which comments are posted to your site. Visitors can subscribe to your blog via RSS and they will be notified automatically when a new post is up.

 

Why should you add a blog to the website? Websites that contain blogs have more backlinks. Backlinks are links from other sites to yours, which are essential for search engine optimization (SEO). This improves your Google ranking, which means more traffic to your site!

Examples of past work

Below we provide examples of past work that are relevant to this project. We’ve have substantial experience in the tourism industry as illustrated by the examples below.

 

Vacation AQT (appalachian quilt trail)

http://www.vacationaqt.com – April 2009

Lindy Turner – Southern Middle Tennessee Resource Conservation and Development Council

RC&D Coordinator

The Vacation AQT site would be the most similar example to what Virginia’s Retreat is looking to accomplish. This particular website was commissioned by Southern Middle Tennessee Resource Conservation and Development Council to promote the Appalachian Quilt Trail and the many tourist stops along the way. The site contains a database of locations, pictures and information about tourist spots that is searchable by category, geographic region or even quilt pattern.

 

The Inn at Old Virginia

http://www.innatoldvirginia.com -- February 2009

Eve Carter

Owner

 

The focus of Inn at Old Virginia redesign project was to create a clean, sophisticated design that would both welcome and inform visitors. The site contains an extensive photo gallery showcasing the Inn’s grounds. We incorporated a guest book and calendar, as well as a signup for newsletters and special offers. One of the impressive aspects of this project is the integration of numerous aspects that allow site visitor interaction. Users can utilize the “Contact Us” form to request information or connect with a reservation service. They can even use the built-in Wedding Calculator to estimate the cost of their wedding or event. We also incorporated current trends, including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and a blog to keep the site up to date and increase SEO.

 

Shenadoah Woods Cabins

http://www.shenandoahwoods.com – January, 2010

The focus of this website redesign project was to present their rental properties is the best way possible to attract visitors to their cabins and their local area. Included in the project is a photo gallery to showcase their properties and amenities. We incorporated a reservation request form, as well as social media interaction via Facebook. This site also incorporates a local event calendar which highlights the expansive local attractions.

 

Massanutten Condo Rentals

http://www.massanuttencondorentals.com – July, 2010

Pat East

Rental Manager

The website redevelopment project for Massanutten Condo Rentals involved a site design and refocus their objective on reaching a broader demographic, specifically draw visitors from a wider geographic region to view their rental properties. Since Massanutten is a four-season resort, they wanted to include multiple color backgrounds that vary with the seasons. We incorporated this into their site design. We included a photo gallery to showcase their properties and the activities available to the resort area. We also incorporated an interactive map of the resort and surrounding area. To boost their online presence, we also implemented social media integration with the site, including Facebook and Twitter.

National Cornbread Festival

http://nationalcornbread.com – February, 2008

Beth Duggar

Public Relations Director

The site has an extensive photo gallery, recipes, music and an online store for souvenirs.

Cross Keys Vineyards

http://crosskeysvineyards.com -- June, 2009

Nikoo Bakhtiar

Owner
