"The new website is awesome. I'm sure that
we are going to have increased business from it. Did I say how beautiful
the site is?!" -Patti Valletta
The White Stone team was delighted when we initially heard from
Patti Valletta who had embarked on yet another Bed and Breakfast
project and purchased the Old Monterey Inn of Monterey California.
Patti has been a successful innkeeper and businesswoman for years
owning properties such as the Adagio Inn and The Whitegate Inn.
Her success and expertise in the innkeeping profession has led to
many awards; most recently securing the prestigious California's
top 10 Inn. Since White Stone had created the Adagio
Inn website for Patti several years ago, she decided to come
to us again and challenged us to design a site that would surpass
the hugely successful Adagio Inn website. Because of Patti's meticulous
attention to detail and quality, she began with the huge undertaking
of remodeling several of her rooms before she even had the photographer
come to take photos. After the long remodel project was complete,
Patti compiled stunning photography to capture the grace and elegance
of this historical home.
It was at this point that the White Stone team jumped in! We began
with two very different concepts and Patti chose the one you
see before you. A site designed with rich colors, textures comprised
from her logo, layers of flash integration and photos to bring forth
the stunning architecture and decorative flair of the Old Monterey
Inn. Patti's input and encouragement made the entire process a delight
as we strove to surpass and build upon the success of our prior
project for her. To this end, we built in a gift certificate feature,
a printable brochure, email list gathering form, and an extensive
trip-building page. The end result is a site as remarkable as both
the Inn and the Innkeeper!
