Urgent request to campground owners
Please have pictures of your actual campsites, facilities, scenic views, etc under the "photos" tab on your website! I am so tired of clicking on that tab only to see pictures of kids with face pai...

In my opinion, could someone build their own great wedsite? Yes! Could I no. As for difference between a pro and amature photographer, maybe not much. But it would have to be someone who has an idea about which shots, angles etc are going to look best. And how to edit them.
A website I agree should be simple and clean, And targeted to the people you want to attract
In the camping world do you want families or hunters? And how about the wording?
A good ad guy will come up with attractive wording I never would have thought of.
Then there is the search engine optomization thing. You could design your own great website, but if it does not contain the correct key words, There you are on page 14 of google. No one will ever find you
If I ran a rv park I would make sure the person I hired was an rver, as he would have a much better idea of what we want to see.
For some smuck like me I would probably have hundreds of hours into trying to produce my own site. And would probably have thrown three or four computers against the wall in frustration.
If a person enjoys that type of work and wants to learn then I think it would be very doable. Me, my eyes glaze over. Truth is I don't want to learn it or do it. And if I did do it, you can bet it would come out crummy.
And that crummy website, would hurt business much more than it would help. And you do see a number of crummy rv websites. Yeah they were cheap, but they do a lot more harm then good I think. And the sad thing they could have the greatest park on the planet. But people will never know, if the website turns them off
