ExploreFairbanks.com – Innovative, thanks to Louder Design
November 2, 2009 | Tags: Innovation, New Features
When Jay Baldemor asked me to write a short testimonial about our experience with Louder Design, I was eager to do so. We were more than happy with the results of our new website and ready to tell the world about the great experience we had building it with Jay and the guys at Louder. Here’s a look at what I wrote:
When we first began searching for a vendor to build the new ExploreFairbanks.com, I remember saying I wanted someone who knew innovation wasn’t just a new paint job on old ideas. They needed to believe that a travel site could be better than “industry standard” – that meant re-thinking some of the key elements, asking tough questions and building things that had an impact on the visitor. When we found Louder Design, we found that company.
They viewed the site from a potential visitor’s perspective, brainstorming ideas for making their experience better. From the initial point of inspiration to an eventual decision to book their trip, the technology makes sense and it works.
That being said, it’s not enough to say “these guys know their stuff.” They also listen, bring several options to every discussion, execute plans to perfection and are an absolute joy to work with.
I’ll be giving a hearty endorsement for a long time to come…but my words will not tell the whole story. For that you must have a look at their design, see how their sites work, tinker a little with their terrific management tools and hear their fresh ideas. Testimonials are great, but hands-on experience will speak much, much Louder.

There are a variety of reasons we think our new site is a cut above. A quick look at our homepage and a few clicks should give you a preliminary idea, but be sure to sign up for a myFairbanks account and start using the Trip Planner to recognize the real difference. It’s smart software that is useful and easy to use. We really think you’ll like it.
With that being said, we want to be sure we make changes that could help the site become even better. If you have thoughts on what we can do to add a dimension of new intelligence or functionality, please let us know. Louder and I will then put our heads together and see what we can work out. Contact me at any time with comments, suggestions or other input!
