Web4-u
Web4-u is possibly the single biggest step forward in enabling tourism businesses to market themselves since the development of the Internet. A bold and possibly arrogant claim but one made from total belief. You will only know it to be true if you give it a go or your competitor gives it a go and you don't.
What is web4-u?
By following some very easy steps you will be able to
Join a Pan-Wales tourism business database
Add your Business Information to a new Pan-Wales tourism business database www.yourtourismcommunity.co.uk to join free of charge.
Create a web site.
By following a few simple steps anyone who can use a mouse and can type will be able to create a web site as good as a web designer.
Fully control your web site.
Control the content, pictures, text and design. The system allows you to update your own new web site created using Web4-u anytime, in minutes and at no cost.
Share information
Share information with other local tourism businesses. This is the big one that makes Web4-u innovative and unique. For example an accommodation provider can add local attractions, activities, events, eating places etc., from the system database to their web site in order to give the potential visitor a fuller picture of what is available around that business. The businesses that have been added hopefully will reciprocate and display the accommodation in question on their web sites. In this way each business can considerably increase its web presence.
Another big advantage is the content supplied by the other tourism operators is kept up to date by them, saving you a big job. "It is good to share now it makes great business sense."
Improved SEO
Improve search engine position your web site(s). When other tourism businesses display your information they will be displaying your web address. Because of the way the top search engines give greater credibility to web sites that have lots of links to them on other web sites there is a high probability that your web site will climb the rankings on search engines such as Google.

Comments from users
I must compliment you on the system, as you have achieved a difficult balance. You have managed to design a user friendly system which won't frighten anyone, even the worst "technophobes", incorporated enough knobs and whistles for those who have a little more knowledge whilst still delivering a very professional design.
