Wilderness Rim Resort:
First! You have to go to the following link because it is my absolute
favorite on this whole site. I actually have friends and family
who use this page for background on their computer for relaxing!!
http://www.wildernessrimbc.com/hiking.html
This resort is owned by three couples; Tabby & Bryan Reid,
Warren & Bernice Bean, and Pete and Joan Lafferty. I got carte
blanche from Tabby, the operator of the resort, to do whatever I
would like for this site and boy, did I have fun! As I've mentioned
in other notes, photos are very key to people looking for a vacation.
I started out with photos from everywhere and from everyone. All
sizes, lots of different quality and color. So I tried some innovative
ideas for showing off the different photos, especially the interior
of the cabins under Mt. Trumpeter Cabin and Kappan Cabin, and The
Mountains under sightseeing. I went on to doing something different
with the hiking page as noted above. Then, I finally
got a whole bunch of pictures from all the owners that were taken
on digital camera and were all the same size!!!! So I developed
a technique that would allow a large number of images to be on the
page, with images underneath when you rolled the mouse over them.
Quality was still good and the page still loads in reasonable time.
Did I forget to mention I hate thumbnails? I will do anything to
avoid them! Which is why I experimented with so many techniques
for showing off the resort and surrounding country without sacrificing
much loading speed and without using thumbnails.
Pricing: Sorry folks, but this
is a $2500 USD site. And I'm not shy about the price. The site has
interactivity with mouse and sound, good layout, and it's huge!!
There are a lot of pages in this site, a lot of links, and a lot
of information. All information was created by me because I am quite
familiar with both the country and the resort business, so I was
confident I could do both justice, and still match keywords while
doing it. I like to work with business owners closely to provide
them with what they want. But rest assured that if you don't have
the time, I will research your operation well in order to provide
you with a site that best promotes your business in every way possible.
