Operating in North Queensland since October 1995, Port Douglas Internet Services has completed more sites, has more satisfied clients, and has received more awards than any other local web publishing company. With over 350 web sites in place, we have proven repeatedly that we have the experience, resources and expertise to develop a web site that works - not just talk about it.
Having built many sites for individual tours, cruises, and accommodation houses, travel agencies of all sizes, regional tourism promotion bodies, and even destination sites for entire countries, our experience at all levels of the travel industry is our greatest strength.
We have participated in government IT and tourism advisory groups at regional, state and federal levels, and have assisted TAFE in multimedia and IT curriculum development. Perhaps most importantly of all, we have also had extensive prior experience in the tourism industry, with Greg Slapp having won a NT Tourist Commision Brolga award in his own right, and served on the executive of his local tourism association (at the time) for 6 years.
Our clients' web sites have received national and international acclaim having won Site Of The Day and Hot Site awards from Yahoo US, Yahoo Australia, Infoseek, LookSmart, Netscape, Open Directory, Pointcom, and CNet, and over the past 4 years we have had 7 finalists and 3 winners in the Queensland IT Awards. This is in addition to over 50 other awards, and numerous tourism industry plaudits at regional, state and national levels.
Over the past 6 years we have seen other web publishing firms come (and seen many of them go) but we have prospered and grown by providing the right mix of functionality, technology and marketing strategy to our clients. The internet is a volatile industry and only those who can deliver on their promises survive.
Consider the facts:
65% of our web sites have been around longer than 75% of the web development firms in North Queensland.
Of the 61 businesses listed under the 'Internet Services' category of the 2000/2001 Cairns Yellow Pages, 20 didn't make it into the 2001/2002 edition. A 33% failure rate!
Our sites take 400,000 visitors per month between them providing us with extensive feedback on what your customers want from a web site.
We have built 350 sites - not just associated with, not partially involved with, not employed by someone else to do some of the job - but actually designed, built and deployed.
With an experienced and quality list of several hundred clients we are in daily contact with the issues that effect the tourism and travel industry.
The internet is now mainstream, and an increasingly important aspect of business operation, so isn't it a better business decision to be with someone that you know will still be there this time next year? And a firm that understands your business as well as they understand their own?
