Full Story:
Niagara-on-Lake Cottage for rental meets the Net using COMMbits technologies.
 As anyone who has visited the picturesque town of Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL) will attest, the tourist market there is booming but fiercely competitive for any newcomer to tap into. Niagara-on-the-Lake is one of those special places that has managed to place itself as one of the premier - and prestigious - must see tourist destinations in all of Canada. Although the town is best known as the permanent home of the annual Shaw Festival, ("NOTL" as it is locally known) also hosts some of the most exclusive hotels, restaurants, small-but-special shops and unique tourist sights in the entire country. The enormous volumes of American, international and Canadian tourists flock there on a year-round basis to soak up the history, beauty, atmosphere and "old world" charm that has all but disappeared from modern North America.
The town's magnetism has not only created an incredible demand for hotel accommodation, but has also made possible the development and growth of a booming Bed & Breakfast and House Rental industry that is unique in Canada. There is a huge selection of B & B and house rental accommodation available, from exclusive First Class establishments catering to the very wealthy to quaint, small-but-special historical homes that cater to those who want to experience a taste of a more genteel past. The problem is, anyone new entering this fiercely competitive B & B market needs to really think outside the box, or stay in the shadows of the better-known establishments.
Meet the Twin Maples Cottage, a charming, fully furnished home for self-contained accommodation for families, groups, or romantic couples just wanting to be in their own home-away-from-home. The problem was, how to get this new business on the tourist map in view of the many other accommodation options available in town.
The owners approached COMMbits after they heard about the Company’s success with similar e-business projects in Niagara-on-the-Lake and they required a first class web site, yet within tight budget constraints, to showcase the new rental cottage.
The COMMbits solution was a high quality, comprehensive site that provides a full house tour via a flexible and attractive cottage photo gallery, helpful local sightseeing and restaurant tips, an interactive booking calendar to check availability in real time, and a section with rates. The new web presence is now up and running at twinmaplescottage.com.
The site is using the COMMbits DOME system, an innovative and extremely easy to use Web Site Content Management System, which allows web site owners to change the content on their web sites themselves from any computer with an Internet connection, anywhere in the world. COMMbits DOME is available only to clients who use the first-class COMMbits business web hosting service.
The owners have also grasped the critical need for the new site to be highly visible compared with the other competition in NOTL, so they readily embraced the opportunity to invest in the COMMbit's Search Engine Ranking and Optimization Process, a 100% risk-free proprietary solution with a tremendous track record for attaining top ranking status on the major search engines available. Essentially, this means that the owners of this business will receive traffic from major search engines, from prospective NOTL visitors who search for Niagara-on-the-Lake cottage rentals or similar word searches.
COMMbits wishes to thank the owners of the Twin Maples Cottage for their trust and their dedication during the development phase of their project and wishes them all the best in their new business venture. We will be following their progress.
