Enhancing Online Presence and Functionality
with a Modern Website Solution
The Client:
The Virginia Beach Hotel Association (VBHA) represents quality hotel members throughout the entire city of Virginia Beach. Their goal is to assist visitors in creating memorable experiences, whether they are visiting for work or pleasure.
Their Challenge:

The VBHA needed to redesign their outdated website, which was non-responsive and challenging to update. The existing content management system (CMS) was complicated, requiring ongoing vendor support for even minor modifications. This resulted in additional expenses and delayed content updates. The VBHA sought a modern, user-friendly, and fully responsive website that could be easily managed in-house. They also required ADA compliance, advanced search capabilities, and features like event RSVPs, job postings, member directories, and more.

Our Solution:
VistaGraphics proposed a comprehensive solution to meet VBHA’s needs. We designed and developed a fresh, modern, and dynamic website using the latest WordPress CMS. Key features included:
- Responsive Design: Ensured the site was equally viewable on all devices, from desktops to smartphones.
- SEO and ADA Compliance: Built the site to be Google-ready and Level 1 ADA compliant, with options for higher compliance levels if needed.
- Advanced Functionality: Integrated plugins for advanced search, event RSVPs, job postings, member directories, and message boards.
- Ease of Use & Training: Provided personal instruction and video tutorials for VBHA staff to manage and update the site effortlessly.
The new website met VBHA’s requirements and improved their online presence, making it easier for future vacationers in Virginia Beach, and a hub for VBHA members.
