Kimberley City Portal
For Business
Kimberley City Portal is the most popular and well known directory for Business, Food, Entertainment, Activities, Tourism and Events in Kimberley, placing your business in the eyes of consumers and clients.
An Excellent Google Reputations and High Google Rankings ensure a high volume of consumers visit our website looking for reputable businesses and services providers.
Consumers
The two main ideas behind creation of the Kimberley City Portal was to
- Provide local residents with up to date accurate information on Business, Food, Entertainment, Activities and Events in Kimberley.
- Provide tourist and travellers with detailed, accurate and up to date information on Accommodation, Attractions, Transport and Travel.
Development
With the development of the City Portal these ideas have expanded to include a Review and Rating System and a comprehensive frame work for a Business and Tourism Directory.
The basic development started with a fairly conservative and corporate look and feel with a functional plain interface. We soon realized that conservative just doesn’t do it for us and redesigned the whole website front end for a fresh funky look which is still easy to navigate and work with.
The website interface have also been designed to work equally well on and adapt to your Computer, Notebook, Tablet, iPad and Smartphone.
The vision for the Kimberley City Portal is for it to be alive and interactive.
- People should to be able to say their say and give their views on business and service level in Kimberley. (Don’t just complain! Give feedback on which places are awesome, and where you received excellent service or a stunning meal)
- Business and Establishments should be able to easily update their own information and interact with customers who feel service levels was lacking or was beyond expectation.
- Everyone should easily be able to add their events to the City Portal. (All event listings are Free).
- Information should also be shareable on Facebook, Google and other Social Networks.
The Kimberley City Portal is created to be of service to both Consumers & Business.
Reviews & Ratings
We have been warned that the Review & Rating service may receive serious resistance from some businesses in Kimberley, but we do believe that the majority of businesses in Kimberley are serious about excellent service delivery and those who are should welcome the opportunity to stand out.
Another Business Directory?
While there is a multitude of “Directory” sites on the internet, all rely mostly on automatic data harvesting and/or user submissions.
This lead to poor data quality and poor data variety as well as data being scattered over a multitude of sites. Current local directory sites are based on outdated technology, not user friendly, contain very limited data while others are nothing more than a random collection of mismatched advertisements.
The Kimberley City Portal is managed by a Local Team, focusing on Kimberley and the surrounding areas, and will continuously work on data quality. Information on local business, events and tourism attractions are contained in one site, making it Easy to use and Accessible from all devices.
Free listings will not be watered down crippled listings but will contain a photo/logo as well as a detailed description, website, telephone number and other contact information.
A paid listing provides many extra options to help that listing stand out, offer extra information such as specials and have better social integration.
