About www.stivesonline.co.uk

Introduction

John Hancock, a local journalist and author has set up www.stivesonline.co.uk in a joint venture with specialist IT company Marcomm, to serve the local community and tourism industry. John has lived at Porthminster Point for the past 5 years but has been associated with St. Ives for over 25 years during which time he has grown to love the town and its people.

This attractive town is one of the UK's premier holiday locations offering everything from fantastic surf to a host of art galleries, from golden beaches with clear, clear water to sea fishing and from bracing coastal walks to lively entertainment for all ages.

With the World Wide Web becoming an increasingly familiar part of many people's lives, it is so important that a Web Site be well designed and professionally maintained if it is to attract and hold attention and continue working for participating businesses day in and day out throughout the year, around the world.

Free Town Visitors Map

Tourism is an important part of any seaside town and visitors like to enjoy as much of the local experience as they can manage during their time on holiday. Visitors are sometimes either not aware of all the possibilities or simply do not know their way around sufficiently well to venture beyond familiar places. To help visitors to get maximum enjoyment from their stay in St. Ives, the www.stivesonline.co.uk free town visitors' map will be available from the places where tourists look for information and from participating businesses.
