New Website Design

“Our site’s newly incorporated functions and capabilities enhance the experience and decision-making process for potential clients,” said the Business Development Director of Sports, Sean Walter. “The ability to search by sport instead of just venues and the addition of audio and visual elements that elevate our venues saves time and provides the next level of customer service while embodying what our destination is all about.”

Re-designed based on data and industry best practices, additions include quick view for a sneak peek at listings without a full click, an algorithm-based ranking system for member listings, user generated content to better illustrate the destination and Pure Florida merchandise at retail.

“The evolution of PureFlorida.com expands our target markets, simplifies planning and conveys the essence and feel of Florida that can only be found in the Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach area. It provides an aspirational experience, showcases our destination, is easy to navigate and guides users through the entire journey, from planning and booking directly on our website to sharing the experience on their social media channels,” said Director of Marketing, Maureen Morgenthien.
