Makeover shows are all the rage. Make over your home, your wardrobe, your hair, your life. Well, websites need makeovers too, and it’s about time TLT freshened up!
The old site was basically a tear-down with really ugly curtains, olive green appliances that a Maytag repairman couldn’t fix, yellowed floral wallpaper, and a front porch unfit for a swing. OK, so maybe it wasn’t that bad, but it was cluttered and definitely needed some sprucing up, so about 6 weeks ago I put on my overalls and grabbed a sledgehammer. And now….
(drum roll please) Ta Da!!
Welcome to the all new The Local Tourist! Besides being cleaner and brighter, the new TLT has some really cool new features:
- Find events – easily – by category
See that events menu up there on the left? Mouse over it and see all the different types of events. Of course you can also see everything that’s going on by checking out the comprehensive events calendar. - See what’s nearby & what’s similar
Click through to a listing and see what’s around it, and also find any similar types of businesses. - Easy to find specials
Now you can find food & drink specials by neighborhood, by day of the week, or by both! - Events & Specials on listings
Have a particular spot in mind? If they’ve got any events or specials, they’ll be right on their page. (See this example) - Rate & Review
You’ve been asking for this one! Rate restaurants, bars, attractions, tours, etc. To let everyone know what you think, you’ll get to… - Be A Local Tourist!
Sign up, and then rate and review to your fingers content. What’s even better is you can also add friends and have your own blog!
And this is just the start…
I’m thrilled to welcome you to the new TLT. Please let me know your suggestions and feel free to leave comments!
