Exmoor Accommodation Website History: Launched in September 2001 to help atttract visitors to Exmoor National Park. Born out of an idea, when desperate to fill own empty accommodation during the foot and mouth period. A late-availability page followed in 2002, which then turned into a website in its own right... Next4weeks which has been revamped 3 times in 5 years, is now a content managed website. Next4weeks still works to my original basic design, but is now better looking, searchable and open to all advertisers on request.
