I have been working with Tony Walker of goweb99 for several months regarding the development of a website for our business. His creative suggestions, helpful tips and immediate reply to my many requests were very professional and courteous. And, of course, the PRICE to design a pro website is remarkably affordable!

When a CD in the drop-down box is selected, the showCD() function executes the following:

  1. Calls the GetXmlHttpObject() function to create an XMLHTTP object
  2. Defines an URL (filename) to send to the server
  3. Adds a parameter (q) to the URL with the content of the drop-down box
  4. Adds a random number to prevent the server from using a cached file
  5. Each time the readyState property changes, the stateChanged() function will be executed
  6. Opens the XMLHTTP object with the given URL
  7. Sends an HTTP request to the server

What is SimpleXML?

Posted by admin | Posted in GoWeb99 | Posted on 10-08-2010-05-2008

0

SimpleXML is a new addition in PHP 5. It is an easy way of getting an element’s attributes and text, if you already know the XML document’s layout.

Compared to DOM or the Expat parser, SimpleXML is far simple. It just takes a few lines of code to read text data from an element.

SimpleXML converts the XML document into an object, like this:

  • Elements – Are converted to single attributes of the SimpleXMLElement object. When there’s more than one element on one level, they’re placed inside an array
  • Attributes – Are accessed using associative arrays, where an index corresponds to the attribute name
  • Element Data – Text data from elements are converted to strings. If an element has more than one text node, they will be arranged in the order they are found

SimpleXML is fast and easy to use when performing basic tasks like:

  • Reading XML files
  • Extracting data from XML strings
  • Editing text nodes or attributes

However, when dealing with advanced XML, like namespaces, you are better off using the Expat parser or the XML DOM.

SimpleXML handles the most common XML tasks and leaves the rest for other extensions.

Having a website is as important as having a telephone number for your business

In todays world where more than 50% of the businesses are carried over the internet it is very essential to have a business website for every business owner be it small or medium size. It is a fact that 99% of the general or preferred or keyword centric .COM web domains have already been booked. It is very rare that you get the domain name of your choice in first search. There is not a single short or easy to remember domain name available. For instance there are no longer 4 alphabet domain name available and there are very few unsensible 5 alphabet domain names which may be available. We suggest reserving few domain name(s) at the earliest and feel yourself very lucky if you have got a domain name of your choice.

Tomorrow is the world of internet and all 100% of the businesses would need a website to stand in the compitition and grab online business from locals, countryman and international clients.

If you’re creating a website, there’s no doubt, gowebb9 is the place to have it done. As a new business owner, I’ve been shocked at how many people don’t bother to return your calls when you’re trying to do business with them; but the folks at goweb99 are just the opposite. After I signed up to have them build my website, they kept calling me, asking me to give them some content so they could go to work. Then, once the work began, they responded immediately to every change I requested. I can’t remember the last time I got this kind of excellent service.

Dynamic code

Posted by admin | Posted in GoWeb99 | Posted on 08-08-2010-05-2008

0

The first type is a website with dynamic code hidden inside. The lines of code are constructed dynamically on the fly using active programming language instead of plain, static HTML.

A website with dynamic code refers to its construction or how it is built, and more specifically refers to the code used to create a single web page. A dynamic web page is generated on the fly by piecing together certain blocks of code, procedures or routines. A dynamically-generated web page would call various bits of information from a database and put them together in a pre-defined format to present the reader with a coherent page. It interacts with users in a variety of ways including by reading cookies recognizing users’ previous history, session variables, server side variables etc., or by using direct interaction (form elements, mouseovers, etc.). A site can display the current state of a dialogue between users, monitor a changing situation, or provide information in some way personalized to the requirements of the individual user.

Highlight best features or Unique Selling Points of your property

If the property has a standout feature, market it. Properties that have special built-in features that stands out from competitors. Teaming up with other business proprietors to offer special offers, discounts, home delivery, phone service, maid service or providing special Spa or yoga packages could work well. Include this information with all communications about the property to help develop a reputation for this service or feature.

Finally one place to seek more detailed information can be in your personal Website where you have the same general information which includes:

  • Photo of the outside, nearby attractions.
  • A clear snapshot of the interior and amenities.
  • Property address and general location (five minutes from Disney World)
  • Reservation information (Avail 30% discount on advance booking)
  • Contact phone number/s and auto email responder.
  • Extra services (Free pick-up  and a welcome drink etc)

You never get a second chance to make the first impression. The key is to excite the customer with pictures, description and features within a few seconds. Give enough information to grab the attention and interest of the reader.

Offer one stop solution to the vacationers.

Running advertisements with a group of related businesses can provide a better response and value for money. Linking up with a restaurant and transportation company to create a package deal might a good option for the renters.

Using only one of the methods will not work well for a marketing strategy. Try to combine two or three together, selecting both print and Internet methods, to reach as wide an audience as possible.

The experience of vacationing at the property should be wonderful and memorable. Providing first-rate customer service is the KEY and sending a personalized note like a Thank-You card to customer is a great way of retaining your customers. Happy customers help in self marketing by their word of mouth publicity.

There are inexpensive ways to get a vacation rental online. Just a listing service like VRBO or TravelEhome is not advisable as potential vacation seekers will look at the property details where all your competitors are also listed. Having a personal website link on the professional listing service website is a good way to stand out from your competitors and it also shows about your professionalism, seriousness about the business and also you can display everything about your property in detail to the vacationers. A dependable company like GoWeb99.com provides a very professional and low cost solution (starting as low as $99) as per your need and requirements like colour combination, features etc unlike others where you will have to do the tedious job by yourself. The low monthly prices are offered on everything needed to get a website up and running like domain name, support, maintenance and hosting for as low as $4.99 per month. Armed with a few pictures, basic description content with rates and amenities, a website can be quickly created in couple of days. If you already have a website and looking for redesigning it at minimal cost you can Visit www.goweb99.com for more information.

Tip: Useful features on your site such as online booking or availability calendar and Blog can also be a good option, visit www.goweb99.com for their contact information.

Leave your brochures or postcards at important public areas

Place brochures where visitors generally visit during their trip to town. Local restaurants, shops and public areas often have brochure holders specifically to provide useful information to tourists.

Invite local residents to see your property

Posted by admin | Posted in GoWeb99, Marketing of your Vacation Rentals, Top 18 Reasons For Having A Website | Posted on 07-08-2010-05-2008

Invite local residents to see the inside of the rental property and your hospitality. If possible offer some water, coffee and snacks to every visitor so they feel comfortable and relaxed. Try to have a general, polite and courteous conversation with every person that walks through the door. Without worrying about the few who will just seek out the free food and try to leave, many will be happy and excited to tell their friends and relatives about the property and courteous owner.

Have something for visitors to take with them, such as a simple postcard that contains information about the property and your contact details. Try to gather their contact information which might of great help in future.

Add your website name in Email Signature about your vacation rental in every e-mail you send.

Posted by admin | Posted in GoWeb99, Marketing of your Vacation Rentals, Top 18 Reasons For Having A Website | Posted on 07-08-2010-05-2008

All e-mails are capable of attaching a small amount of information by default to the end of every e-mail sent, called an e-mail signature. By taking advantage of this simple feature you can advertise to people without spending anything.

Keep the information short and simple, such as “A luxury Beachfront Vacation Rental in Kissimmee, Florida” followed by a link of your website and phone number. DONOT enter listing service (VRBO etc) link in your email where all your nearby competitors are also listed. Instead always add your personal website name.

Submit your property details on Free listing directories

Creating a posting on free directories like CraigsList is simple (Choose city > create posting > housing offered > vacation rental). Along with your destination city also try posting to the nearby cities. In addition, if the vacation rental is in a location that would have widespread appeal, such as Kissimmee, consider posting to major cities nationwide.

Include maximum photos of the interior & exterior of the property and also some pictures of nearby attractions of the property so viewers can get the look and feel of the property and spend extra time looking at the listing.
