• Appleseed Interactive

  Appleseed Interactive was established with a single purpose: to leverage hotel experience and cutting-edge web design technologies into higher hotel revenue. Today hotel business is won—and lost—in the online marketplace. Nearly 85% of travelers use the Internet to research before choosing a hotel. Creating a handsome website is no longer enough. Expertly designed sites are easier to use and to find; without one, hoteliers can lose a significant amount of potential revenue. With this much at stake, it’s no wonder so many companies offer web design services. So how do you decide whom to trust with your business? The answer is clear: Choose the company that best understands your business. That’s the web design company created by hotels, for hotels. That’s Appleseed Interactive.
