Added 2 more domain names to my “Portfolio” , www.leseyzies-tourist.info  and www.dordognetourist.info

Still experimenting with various things,  with  www.leseyzies-tourist.info  I am using a combination of Joomla and one or two other scripts. I am  new to this, so I am still ironing out some of the creases, saying that though I am very pleased with it so far.. still, alot needs to be done.

Feedback welcome.

Sometimes you are in the right place at the time, just recently I managed to snap up my latest domain name “leseyzies.info” for those of you that do not  know anything about domain names, or web designing, it is an excellent find, and I cannot understand why the previous owner(s) (I know who you are ;-) ) did not extend it, not that I mind, because now it’s mine.

www.leseyzies.info, this brings me to over 40 Domains. I will be experimenting with a few ideas, and useing  ” Web 2.0 ” to  (try) and create an informative site, once I have achieved this, I will, together with my www.leseyziesdetayac.com try and knock the Official but not mine “leseyzies.com” of the first place on google.. anyway, gotta fly, got 5 web sites I’m working on.. I’m getting too old for this!!

B&B Ferme de Tayac

Most people visiting the Vezere and Dordogne Valley have an interest in history, so why not stay a few nights in an historic B&B. in the heart of it all.

B&B Ferme de Tayac, a 12th century former farmhouse / monastery ideally situated in Les Eyzies de Tayac, in the heart of the Vezere Valley, known as the “Prehistoric Capital of the World”

In the beginning of the 12th century, the monks of the monastery of Paunat settled in Tayac, and started building the fortified church of Tayac, Saint Martin. At the same time they started buiding “Ferme de Tayac” which became the working farm and monastery for the monks.
In 2001 Suzanne & Mike purchased Ferme de Tayac after it had been unoccupied for over 10 years. It was in a sorry state, and was deemed dangerous and a hazard.
It took Suzanne & Mike 7 years to bring Ferme de Tayac back to it’s former glory.
With among other things, meter thick walls, rooms built into solid rock, oak beam structures, and bedrooms in former monks quarters make Ferme de Tayac a speacial and very unique place to stay whilst visiting the Dordogne, and it is not hard to see why Ferme de Tayac has been the travellers choice of accommodation for 2 years.

Ferme de Tayac is an ideal place to use as a base to explore this stunning region. Below is a small list of interesting and useful things and places to do and see, all within 10 minutes from Ferme de Tayac.

Dordogne Design, putting Dordogne on the web.

www.dordognedesign.com

We specialize in web sites for the Dordogne region. We know how extremely difficult it is to get your name or business onto the search engines. We do not just design web sites, we help you get your site seen by potential customers from around the world.

Designing a web site is the easiest part, getting people to find your site amongst the more than 92 Billion!! (indexed by google in 2006) sites can be tricky and very expensive.
I have designed more than 20 Dordogne related sites to help advertise your web site after it has been launched.

Let Dordogne Design put you on the web, can you afford not to?

Here are some stats that show the importance of a web site:

Key facts and figures from 1 March 2007

  • Over 3.1 million tourists
  • Average length of stay (all accommodation): 10 days
  • Representing almost 31 million nights’ accommodation
  • A direct turnover of at least 980 million euros
  • Over 6,000 permanent jobs in tourism (6900 in July & Aug.)
  • Tourism in the Dordogne represents over 31% of the local economy

More facts and figures.

  • 77% booked part of their vacation online. (airline, ferry, rental car etc)
  • 93% of visitors researched the area online before visiting.
  • 71 % of visitors booked accommodation online

5 years ago, these figures would have all been below 30%, and 10 years ago they would have all been below 3%, however, in 3 year time they will ALL be above 90%

Dordogne Design

These figures show the importance of a web site, and no one can design, host, advertize and optimize your dordogne related site better than Dordogne Design .
