Internet Articles | June 11, 2008

MYTOWN.ie is an interactive community website for every town in Ireland. The user simply goes to www.mytown.ie and selects from a list of over 100 towns featured. Mytown.ie will return specific information for each town, including weather forecast, news, a town map, events calendar, and local attractions. The site is very simple to use with easy and consistent navigation.

Mytown.ie is designed to be used by both locals and tourists alike. Locals can use mytown.ie to find the latest information about their town such as news, upcoming events and weather forecast; while tourists can use the site to find accommodation, entertainment and attractions in the area.

There are also a number of interactive areas on the site such as chat forums, picture galleries and free classified ads. These areas keep the user engaged by allowing them interact with the website and other users. Mytown.ie also offers a free page to local clubs, societies, schools and non-profit organizations, giving them an opportunity to gain internet exposure and promote their events.

Businesses can also gain online exposure with mytown.ie through FREE business listings. Users of mytown.ie have the ability to add new businesses to their town’s business listings area. Businesses who want to gain extra exposure can pay a small annual fee to have their own page on www.mytown.ie; on which they can feature a detailed description, prices, opening times, maps, promotions and even a booking/enquiry form. This is a great solution for businesses that do not already have a website and want to gain an inexpensive web presence. It is also an excellent opportunity for businesses to drive traffic to their own website.

As broadband availability improves in Ireland, more people are using the internet to research and make decisions from what hotel or B&B they stay at, through to which plumber they call. Many towns in Ireland do not have a good web presence that provides relevant information representing the community; this is the gap that mytown.ie now fills.

If you or your business would like more information please visit www.mytown.ie or contact garry@mytown.ie (021 4369630).
