Delay in posting
It has been 10 days since I have made a post, primarily because of the immense amount of work we have on at Xebidy at the moment. We are finally getting the Base Backpackers website to soft launch today (it was supposed to happen on Friday but the staging server we were using was attacked and we could not access anything - these things happen but it was extremely frustrating to trip at the last post). The new site will be seen at www.stayatbase.com and will merge the current www.basebackpackers.com and www.gobeyond.co.nz sites in time. We are also tackling the online marketing for Base Backpackers also. This is really exciting and we have had our in-house Internet Marketing guru , Johnathon Dixon, work on this and over the next 12 months he will share some of the experiences of the programme with you via this blog.
Base Backpackers is not the only project taking time; this week we have the new Adventure Tours, Wayward Bus, Backpacking Queensland and Breathe websites all being finalised into the Bootstrap content management server and some of the first new fangled functionality being tested. Over the next month or so the content in these sites will be being built up and they should be live in the next 6 weeks - watch this space. Wayward Bus and Adventure Tours should be the first as we are having Bruce Thurlow from ATA coming to work in the Xebidy office for the next 2 weeks to work on content.
The Wayward Bus website is really exciting as we have had some very unique illustrations done by English illustrator Chris Cooper. They look awesome and should really make the site stand out. Chris has also been working on a new Xebidy website and we are bursting to bring this out very soon. Here is a sneak preview of an initial concept drawing for Wayward Bus - we are really excited about having Chris on board with us for awhile.
