We decided to go with a WordPress CMS, which to many of you is no surprise as I feel these are the easiest to use for most clients. The overall useability and the SEO friendliness of these sites is untouchable. As well as the availability of a bunch of great plug ins makes these website builds a dream.

With D bar D Ranch being a campground what we where needing more than anything was two things. A great event calendar and a way for his clients to be able to book their campsites online. The event calendar was a breeze. There are many options out there. We went with a plug in called Event Calendar which had both a great sidebar widget and an easy to use full page calendar.
