We build gorgeous, fully featured, custom websites for DMOs and proactively help them manage, update and supplement all site content.
Your new website will be built on our highly refined Earthdiver Tourism & Recreation Platform. This all-in-one solution seamlessly integrates a high-performance website with a front-end CMS, plug-and-play upgrades, a reporting and management dashboard, and ongoing comprehensive content and webmaster services. It is designed from the ground up to be easy to work with and to free your staff from much of the mundane work of operating a website.
Your site will be built on the new cutting-edge platform we’ve developed over the last few years for Earthdiver.com. It will be fully customizable, pages will draw instantly, and all features identified below are included. Additionally, as we finish more advanced features for Earthdiver, they will easily plug into your site.
Design is highly subjective, so we aim to work hand-in-glove with your team to achieve just the look you want. There is no limit on revisions. We’ll keep working until we achieve the look and feel you desire, all while adhering to your brand standards.
We design for both desktop and mobile from the start, so you’re assured the final design is mobile friendly.
We design all elements so that they are easily managed by you through our convenient Frontend Content Management System (“FCMS”).
Initial content planning, collection and ingestion along with page creation are, of course, all included. We will also, if you desire, provide you access to our rich content to supplement your content. We will seamlessly manage the content and keep it constantly up to date for you.
Implementation of Google Analytics v4 is standard. We also make available to you as part of your CMS a customizable reporting dashboard that seamlessly and automatically pulls the most important Google Analytics for immediate consumption.
Included with the dashboard is access to all content submitted via site forms in a searchable interface with the ability to download just the data you select. You also have access to a selection of other interfaces to interact with your content in convenient ways.
The CMS for your site is seamlessly integrated with the front end, so from any page on your site, you simply click, edit, and save your site updates immediately. No more multi-step backend CMS and having to search for the content you want to edit.
All photos are processed automatically. Upload once and all sizing is handled behind the scenes. Other features include:
With a few clicks you can create and target custom Promos to almost any part of any page on your site. They can be displayed in various ways: carousels, mosaics, grids, columns, or rows. Use them to highlight upcoming events, promote specific content or a specific business, publicize important news or announcements, or whatever else you want.
They can be made to display in a set order, rotate or randomize and can be scheduled for displaying ahead of time.

Your website’s look and feel should be refreshed regularly. Ideally, this would entail yearly updates and a
major redesign every 3 or 4 years. Our technology is so flexible and efficient that once you are on our platform
we will include annual design updates for no additional cost.
These particular types of pages are a typical element of the websites we build. They consist of a search page that returns individual result listings that link to their detail pages. Users can toggle between an interactive map view and a listing view for results. Users can control sort-order and filter results as desired.
These pages can be created for any topic or data type: dining options, room type, attractions nearby, etc. Both the search page and detail page are fully customizable and are designed around the content architecture we work out together for your site.

Our product is fully customizable, searchable, shareable and can be dropped onto any page. Event submissions can be open to the public or limited to certain parties. Submissions automatically flow into the system for your review and approval. Major events can be specially highlighted and presented in a rich compelling manner separate from other events.
Alternatively ... if you would like to use a third-party calendar platform, we will integrate it into your website.

A fully customizable blog is standard. It is fully searchable, can include tagging and be archivable. Management is simple through the CMS with the ability to preview a new posting before going live. You can also schedule a publication date and time in advance and it will go live automatically.

Our sitewide search comes standard with configurable search parameters and weighting so you get the results you want. The Smart Search feature lets you specifically keyword pages and other content through the CMS to identify specific results desired for intent-based searches.

Google maps can be configured, customized for style and placed most anywhere on your site. Include a map of all relevant listings on topical search pages, and allow site users to get customizable directions to a business directly from the business's detailed listing page.

Your new site can feature live feeds, sharing, follow CTAs and more, from your favorite social media platforms.
Social media integration is standard. You can pull your social media content on to your website pages as desired (and allowed by the social media service).

We offer customized animated 3D maps that allow the user to rotate perspective and explore natural attractions like waterways, hiking and biking trails, OHV areas, peaks, and parks in a richer way.
For each map we can include photos of the area, PDFs, detailed information about trail length, elevation gain,
experience level, and more. We also display, of course, typical Google map as desired or well-supported third
party maps like ArcGIS.

We can tie into the Google Places API so when a business makes an update to their business listing on Google,
updating hours, location information, phone numbers, etc, your site is automatically updated as well.
We can also, if you choose, pull in media from their Google listing to make it one less thing you have to worry about.

We handle everything to do with operating your site. We host / maintain it in a secure environment on the
same high-end servers that we use for our own & other partner sites. They are monitored 24/7/365. Our standard SLA promises 99.95% uptime. Your content is backed up constantly and can be restored to any point, going back 30 days in the event of data loss. If desired, we also manage your domain and make DNS changes. We utilize the Premium Service level of the Cloudflare CDN (Content Distribution Network) for all sites we host. Your site is automatically & seamlessly duplicated, cached and served from points nationwide for faster download speeds.
An easy-to-use and intuitive navigation is essential for a site that seeks to present information to users like yours. Our sites have no limitations concerning design, layout, or navigation functionality. And it is all easily updated from within the CMS.
