Merimbula Marina Website

Fantastic whale watching photos, you feel like your really on the boat!

From their website:
"The pristine waters off Merimbula NSW are the perfect place for whale watching, fishing charters, dolphin cruises and boat hire. Merimbula Marina have tours and cruises leaving every day. There is always something exciting to do."

Jessica and Simon at Merimbula Marina decided they needed a new website that more accurately advertised their services and that they could maintain themselves. They were also keen to have online booking for tickets. Jessica provided their ideas on the content for the website, their current promotional brochures and lots of photos of whales & dolphins.

From this source material DCB.NET.AU performed several designs and were able to split Merimbula Marinas web presence into the main web site, SmugMug for site photos and daily photos from trips, Blogger for a daily log of whale sightings and Google Maps for contact details and directions. The site was also designed so that online booking for tickets will be able to be supported in the future.

Additional Website Features

• High resolution images are stored on SmugMug and photo galaries provide images to the site
