A new website for Tetbury

i2in have completed the development for Visit Tetbury, which launched earlier this month to great reviews. Already we have been commissioned to begin Phase 2 of the website development to further create a unique and powerful, tourism website for Tetbury

This was written about the website in 'Check It Out' from the Tetbury Advertiser:

The new tourism website for Tetbury went live in October. It’s state-of-the-art, fresh, and original. We’ve had lots of compliments about the features and look of the site. “Great.” “Very clear and easy to navigate.” “Excellent. Very informative. Appealing to the eye. I could definitely be persuaded to visit!” “Great job.” “Excellent…easy to navigate…accommodation section was particularly informative…moving imagery is good and draws attention to particular features.”The design is based on the Tetbury brand which was launched at the start of this year at a special event attended by business people in the area. The website is one of a number of tourism projects which the Tetbury Partnership Tourism Group (TPTG) has sponsored. The aim of these projects is to attract more visitors to Tetbury and the surrounding area in order to boost both the local tourism industry and the wider economy. The TPTG’s comsultants, apt marketing & pr, wrote the specification for the website and supervised the work of the web designers, i2in. Both the consultants and the web designers were appointed following competitive tendering processes. Funding for the website has come from the Gloucestershire Market Towns Forum, the Gloucestershire Rural Renaissance Small Project Investment Fund, the Cotswold Conservation Board and from local businesses which advertise on the site.
