Here at New forest UK ... We employ unique design features to attract the attention of your visitors and quickly get them interested in your accommodation.

 

About Us

In the Beginning:

The New Forest UK web site was created by me, a local resident living in Sway. After devoting much of my life teaching Children's Football for several new forest clubs as a recognised Football Association coach (The F.A.), I had to give it up after suffering a serious cardiac arrest whilst taking a training session. After several weeks in Southampton General Hospital, where the magnificent Doctors, Nurses and Staff saved my life, I was left with a debilitating heart condition and some minor brain damage that left me with little or no options in the employment dept.

OK put the handkerchiefs away, I'm still here to be with my Wife and 3 Children. But what to do now? Having little or no energy for traditional work and registered as disabled, I needed to find something to do to keep my brain alive. With pacemaker/defibrillator in hand (well, Chest actually!) I decided to create a web site promoting local businesses in the new forest area such as Hotels, Cottages, B&B accommodations and anyone else that would pay for an insertion into the portal site that I created and spent many an hour getting search engine results for http://www.new-forest-bed-breakfast.co.uk although it took several years to achieve it was all in a good cause; to make money for the Children's Charity The Starlight Foundation who make wishes come true for seriously and terminally ill kids.

The Growing Years:

During this long period my creation began to get more and more results on the major search engines so I decided to create a more complete site, not only advertising local businesses, but giving as much local knowledge as possible to visitors in an effort to better inform them and to help new forest tourism. And, hopefully be able to earn some money to support my family who have had some pretty hard years of care to cope with.

Where we're going:

Many websites that promote new forest tourism still do not design the site for the consumer who, after all, are the life's blood of many people who live and work in the new forest providing tourists cash for shops, restaurants, cafes as well as bed and breakfast guest houses and the ancillary workers associated with the like.

So here we are! The brand new look and feel which both caters for the visitors and advertisers alike. With features that are exiting and entertaining for the visitor and with unique features and functionality which none of the other independent new forest portal sites have;

  • MYSQL database driven control modules for the New Forest Hotels, b&bs and self catering cottages owners allowing for full control over their own advertisements and galleries which are then dynamically generated into this site.
  • Interactive multi-media presentations to really engage the visitors attention and helping to create a demand for the accommodations on display.
  • Fully function able availability calendars which are controlled directly by the owners allowing to display available dates in a pop-up calendar page, thus avoiding unnecessary contact for those dates which are shown in Red as fully booked
  • Rotating gallery on the home page which both promotes individual accommodations whilst providing controls for the visitors to flick through the promotions and get information on one that takes their fancy without navigating away from the page thus allowing for further promotions to be displayed.
  • Top search engine positions on Google, Yahoo, Bing, AOL, Ask and others using the most used key phases such as; new forest accommodation, new forest bed and breakfast, new forest b and b, new forest hotels and new forest cottages. along with their variants and reverse searches I.e. accommodation in the new forest or new forest bed & breakfast and holiday cottages in the new forest etc.
  • And for those that do not have the understanding of how to create their own ad. A staff willing to help you understand how to modify your availability calendar (easy peasy) And we will insert your ad and create your admin module for you. How's That for Service?!
  • Please see our list of services on the Menu Bar above.

Team Bio:

personel bio pic (The Chief): The person everyone fears the most, and talks to the least. Put them at the top of the list to help stoke their giant ego's. To ensure your job security make sure you use more words in their bio than you do for the rest of the team. If you can get away with it ... approach the chief and see if they are willing to write their own bio...thus getting you off the hook for the written word.

Ha! Some chance. http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/colin-friend/4/306/a98
