Forest™ Tourism and Travel Web Sites

Web sites driven by Forest have many built-in features—at the same time, each is unique in its design and marketing approach. Sites built on the Forest application engine have twice won the Best Electronic Marketing Award at the Maryland Tourism Council’s Governor’s Tourism Industry Conference.

Award-winning Forest-driven web sites feature:

Travel packaging tools

Packaging is key for destinations—Forest lets a destination create small “specials” on the web site and kiosks, or full “Getaway style” packages that combine multiple attractions or events.  up

Visitor trip planners

Customers tell you when they plan to visit, and you can tell them everything going on in the destination while they are there.  up

Events calendars

An interactive calendar displays multiple events each day, events that span multiple days and weeks, and allows the customer to look deeper if they need more information. On the administrative interface, an “event wizard” makes adding new events quick and easy.  up

Search engine optimization

Each web site is specially designed to include years of Search Engine Optimization knowledge and experience from the Exclamation Labs team. This will maximize the organic web traffic the destination’s web site.  up

Changeable seasonal “skins”

A key to having return visitors is to always keep a web site fresh and relevant. Each Forest site features a whole different set of seasonal color schemes and designs that allow the look of the site to change at the touch of a button.  up

Powerful Content Management System (CMS)

Underneath the surface of each Forest web site sits an entire Content Management System that makes keeping attractions and events organized across many levels an easy task. A change in one area can carry across multiple web sites, kiosks and other devices. Never again make the same change in multiple files or locations.  up
