Here’s another thing that I think is really nice on a GEO domains but I have’nt seen that many people do it.

Mark all the Laihaina Hotels on a custom Google map and link them straight to the booking affiliate engine. You could even ad a page with all the hotels on Mauii or even the other Hawaiian islands and do the same.

Nice Example of this is on Madrid.com

http://www.madrid.com/madrid_map

just click on the hotel icons and then the more info link

good luck with it

The development was done by a company called Bump Networks out of Hawaii. They did the main design although we helped a lot with fine tuning it. They are very good at design in my opinion. The development took a bit longer than anticipated, although I know that should be expected with any development, especially by a company running on island time.

I really like the look and feel of the site, looks far better than many official tourism board websites out there (and I’v seen ALOT of them)

For SEO reasons I would put a decent & relevant page title on all of the pages, especially the home page. At the moment it just says – Lahaina

Something starting with the domain name Like:

Lahaina.com – Lahaina Hotels, Maui, Hawaii

Lahaina.com – Lahaina Real Estate Maui

etc etc

At the moment you’re on page two in Google for the keywords Lahaina Hawaii and a simple little thing like that would probably put you on page one in a month or two IMO

Also Google likes sitemaps and it can sometimes make a nice difference in how they list your website in the search results.

Good luck, great job !

PS- Who did the web design ?

Thanks for the shout out. We’re very happy with the new design of Lahaina.com. The feedback we’ve received so far has been fantastic and the following has been growing rapidly since the new launch.

We have a boatload of new content going up over the next month. We’re also working hard to incorporate a lot of social media tools. Check us out on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, etc.

Anyone have any more feedback on the new look of the site?

Conor

Appreciate it.
