Xebidy Philosophy

Start with a solid base:

Knowledge is the foundation of everything we do. We strive to be at the forefront of leading edge Internet technology and the application of this to tourism businesses. In particular, Xebidy focuses on bringing tourism firms into the Web 2.0 era with mapping, travel planner, community and booking process functionality. Xebidy places a great deal of emphasis on research and knowledge growth. Xebidy, produces a monthly paper on the application of the Internet to tourism that has over 100 opt-in subscribers and growing rapidly. Dan, our Strategic Chief, is also asked to speak regularly at conferences, including the recent Australian Tourism Export Council Symposium attended by over 500 delegates, over 60 delegates at a recent seminar to the Queenstown Business Network, a presentation to the New Zealand Collectors Association, over 200 delegates at the Australian Backpacker and Adventure Tourism Conference and most recently the Backpacking Queensland Conference in Cairns. All the Xebidy team have extensive tourism and/or technology experience.

Setting the highest possible standard:

Xebidy recognises that we are only as good as our last project, and to that extent we are prepared to live and die entirely by word of mouth - In other words, we practice what we preach in terms of social networking; that our clients are our best sales representatives. To this extent we strive to achieve excellence on every project - it has to work well and has to look great; and most of all the expectations of our clients has to be exceeded!

Xebidy approaches projects almost as an employee of the client company. Key Xebidy staff work closely with client company staff, not as an external party, but as a team to produce an award winning result. That is our goal of any project - to make it so bloody good that we win awards in industry and technology for innovation, simplicity, usability and success.

The extra mile:

We know a lot about what works on the Internet and Tourism and our clients know a lot about their own business. But it is our mission to breakdown those divisions. We endeavor to find out everything about our partner client’s business and from your point of view ensure we educate and train you on what will make your project successful on the Internet. In fact, we try and impart so much knowledge that you come away knowing more than us about selling your company on the Internet. We are not only restricted to tourism projects, and love getting our hands dirty in a whole host of projects; some such recent projects have involved an extensive marketing campaign for Aventure Linquistique (www.aventurelinguistique.ch) in Switzerland, and a strategy review and web development for Fletcher Living at Jacks Point in Queenstown. It has to work well and has to look great; and most of all the expectations of our clients has to be exceeded!
