Promoting your local facilities: Create a sports or tourism website

Promoting your town to visitors or locals is quite a challenging task. With so many tourism websites, it’s hard to compete online – and in a busy world, it’s a struggle to bring the locals out into the community.

But there is a solution: we’ve spent the last few years studying the architecture of successful websites that target tourism and community involvement: the sites that drive visitors into towns and get local people out of their armchairs!

The result is a tailored solution for sports and tourism websites that we’re delivering to towns, local sports clubs and tourist authorities:

Create a tourism website

The best tourism sites make it easy for visitors to spend money in the town! That means more than promoting attractions and local accommodation – it means helping visitors to plan their stay, with everything from a what’s-on guide to a local weather forecast.

Using this model, we’ve created tourism websites for a number of towns and villages. The new Usk Town website is a perfect example: take a look and you’ll want to go there!

Create a sports website

If you run a local sports team, your website is a chance to engage with the community and maybe….just maybe…increase participation!

Successful websites are used to:

• Promote events and fixtures

• Publish results (good or bad!)

• Share player profiles

• Recruit new members and add member offers

• Launch coaching programmes

• Post news and press releases

• Promote sponsors

• Keep tabs on the weather!

Staying in Usk, this is the model we used for Usk Athletic Club: and you can see how their site has become a hub for the local community.

To create a sports or tourism website, call our community web team on 02030 580576.

Our sites are easily managed - and sure to put your town on the map!
