Please don't make it too commericial, keep the 'local' feel to it.

We do not plan to become too commercial:
Don't worry. We believe in the power of the Internet as a tool that provides entertainment, interactivity and information. The reason www.castlebar.ie has been so successful is that it has concentrated on providing visitors to the site entertaiment, interactivity and information that interests them on a daily basis. As the Internet evolves customers will want to be able to do business online, from purchasing a house to buying a box of matches. In Castlebar, the community is moving smoothly and swiftly into the information age, our Business Directory contains links to over 1500 businesses in the town. One of the Guest Houses on our site receives over three enquiries per week from their presence on the web site. Local businesses, that advertise on our site, are reeping the rewards of a strategically placed web presence.
