What's there to do? 1. **The riverside trail** A flat 3 mile loop, open dawn to dusk 2. **Saturday farmers market** On the square, 8 to noon 3. **The June street fair** An event page, approved by the visitor bureau An illustration. Every place and event is a page AI can read. ## Every place, event and itinerary, its own page. On your domain, with structured data underneath and a plain-text twin beside it. If your restaurants, trails, festivals and hotels live inside a search widget or a PDF guide, they don't make the list, and the weekend goes to the next town over. Your town becomes the easy one to recommend. ## Your whole town, one page at a time. - Your visitor website · Rebuilt by us in the first months, then hosted and kept up: things to do, places to eat and stay, itineraries and events, on your own domain. No build fee. - Places and itineraries · Every place worth visiting gets a page, paying partner or not, with partners marked. Put them together: a rainy Saturday, a weekend with kids, a night out downtown. - Events from the public · Anyone can send one in through a form, and nothing goes live until your staff approve it. Every event becomes a page visitors and AI can find. - Partners keep their own pages · Hotels, restaurants and shops update their own hours, photos and offers, so your staff stop chasing updates by email. Clicks to each partner are counted, for your reports and theirs. - A visitor newsletter · Drafted for you from your events and new listings, and sent from your own domain. - Reports a council can read · Visits to your site and clicks through to local businesses and hotels, on one plain page. The answer to every budget hearing's question: what did we get for it? ## Accessible by design. Ready for city paperwork. The Department of Justice's ADA Title II rule makes WCAG 2.1 AA the standard for state and local government websites, and that includes the tourism site a city runs. Every page we build for a destination is designed to it: real headings, text for every image, readable contrast, and forms that work with a keyboard and a screen reader. This site is held to the same standard, because we'd be in no position to sell it otherwise. - **Insurance certificate** Sent when your city asks for it. - **A W-9** For your finance office, up front. - **Your contract terms** We work within your city's own terms. - **One annual invoice** If that's how your city prefers to pay. ## Why it costs what it does. It runs on the same software as our chamber offer. It costs more because there's more work around it, every month. 1. A bigger public website that we build in the first months and keep up: places, itineraries, lodging and the events calendar. 2. Event submissions open to the public, which means a moderation queue and spam control. 3. Government paperwork and accessibility: insurance, a W-9, city contract terms, and WCAG 2.1 AA on every page. 4. Reports made for a council, so you can show what the money did.

No. We rebuild your visitor website in the first months as part of the monthly price. There's no build fee and no separate charge for moving your listings and events. ### Can our city pay once a year? Yes. Month to month is the default, and we'll send one annual invoice if your city prefers it. We'll also provide an insurance certificate and a W-9, and work within your city's contract terms. ### Do businesses have to pay to be listed? No. Every place worth visiting can have a page. If your office sells partnerships, partners are marked, and you can switch on billing for them. ### How do you keep spam out of public event submissions? Every submission waits for your approval before it appears, and the form has spam protection built in. Your staff see a short queue, not a flood. ### We're a chamber and a visitors bureau in one. Which offer fits? Hiveway for Destinations, with dues switched on. If you market your town to visitors, it's Destinations. ### Who writes the content? Your staff, with the newsletter and event pages drafted for you. If you'd rather one of us write trip ideas, stories and event roundups every month, you can add one of us on top. ### Can we start today? Not off the shelf yet. Apply, and we'll write back about timing and what your site would look like. ## Get your whole town found. Tell us about your town, your partners and what your visitor site needs to do.
