Auto Pop-up Windows
Most people hate pop-ups, as they can be aggravating. We try to keep
them small, unobtrusive, and only pop up once in 24 hours. Today, there
are many "Pop-up blockers" but we create pop-ups that are unstoppable, and
therefore, when used with tact, can be most effective. Try one out in the
box on the right...
We believe one should use intelligent pop-ups that are far less
annoying than the unintelligent pop-ups that most sites utilize. |
Watch for the pop-ups:

RSS Feed
You web site can have fresh content added automatically if you have a
blog or news subscription. Here is good example (in the summer time) of
a Grizzly Bear Tour Report that can be added to any website. |

Pop-up Windows
Pop-up windows are useful for showing more information about a product,
photo, etc. We can specify where the popup window will appear on a
monitor, and also "dress up" the window so it has a professional look to
it.
We can add text or image links that will automatically open a new
browser window rather than load into the current browser window, which is
a great way for displaying special offers, news items and other
information that you don’t want to appear in an existing window. |

Visitor Statistics
We recommend putting at least two different statistic compliers on your
website. Each has it's own peculiarities, and advantages. We know of two
that are very good and... free! Stats can show you where your visitors are
coming from, what they are looking for, and a lot of other useful
information. |

FAQ
A "Frequently Asked Questions" page will save you time explaining
things to your customers. Suggest that they read your FAQ page before
they send you an email, and you will free up your time. Informed customers
are so much better to work with! |

traffic to your site. |

web promotion companies (including us) but there are some specific, very
useful applications that have tremendous benefit. |

Create Private Areas
Your website can have an area on it that is only accessible if they
know the secret login and password - which you can give them in an email
or on a promotion. Great for a 'private area forum' or for special 'added
benefits' of a product. |
We can't show you one
because they are all private!Your signed-up customers can have private
info and discussions |
Databases
Useful in organizing large amounts of information and presenting it in
any way you desire. |
Harbour Listings |
Scrolling info box
Shows lots of info in a very small space, usually a box. It tends to
keep visitors on your site longer, because they are drawn to it. |

calls in the middle of the night! If you watch on the right for a minute
you can see it change once a minute - it's live! |

Location Maps
Make it easy for visitors to see where you are located - a
must for bed and breakfasts', hotels, any accommodation business. Google
Maps makes it easy to add to your site and many people are familiar with
how to use it. |
See the Google Map on this page:
www.comoxvalleyinn.com/location-maps.htm |
Website Site Maps
Adding a map to your website will make it easier for
visitors to find information that they are looking for. There is another
benefit, and that is the search engines will be able to spider (index)
your site so they can show more of your information on their results
pages. Highly recommended. |
