1. Do it Fast

 

Follow the advice given to Chesterfield Inn to maximize potential, "We wanted to get this website out the door as quickly as possible because we knew every day the 'old' outdated website remained live was another day money was left on the table." Whitestone Marketing

 

2. Make the Call to Action Clear and Above the Fold

 

Note the call to action on the Chesterfield Inn design. Also, take a look at Acorn's "turnkey solution" on Pinehurst Inn, Bayfield, Wisconsin, on your smart phone. Note the "call us" and "book it" buttons. http://pinehurstinn.com/
