The Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau unveiled its new Web site at its 100th anniversary celebration last month. The new site, with the same address of www.seedesmoines.com, has been in the works since May and continues to undergo changes.

“We are still knee-deep in tweaking, still going through the revision process,” said Tiffany Tauscheck, the CVB’s vice president of marketing. “But we have someone on staff that has a real passion for Web sites and Web development, so she will be helping us add things to it every day.”

Tauscheck said the CVB’s previous Web site was more than 5 years old, “which is pretty old in the Web site world,” and didn’t have the accessibility the CVB wanted; now the organization can manage the entire site itself.

“That was a big factor for us,” Tauscheck said. “We wanted to be immediate and up to date.”

The new site includes up-to-date weather conditions for Des Moines, an Airfare Watchdog ticker, which scrolls cheap flights into Des Moines from cities around the United States, and an area where out-of-town visitors can book hotels online.

Additionally, Tauscheck said the site has an events calendar that is updated throughout the day, as well as a “do more in Des Moines” page, which features different attractions in Greater Des Moines.
