Catskill Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Festival Launches New Website And Facebook Fan Page.

Hello Everyone…As you all know this year is the 13th Anniversary of The Catskill Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Festival. This is a motorcycle festival unlike any other. It is held at a beautiful resort ( Blackthorne Resort ) nestled in the Northern Catskills. The Handel family ( resort owners and festival organizers ) knew that with the power of social media and social networking, it was time to take the festival to the next level.

The Handels made the decision to hire Marknet Group Inc a web design and internet marketing firm that specializes in high end web development and online business strategy. They wanted a website that would have an immediate impact on visitors. Gina Nieves of Marknet Group, also advised Blackthorne’s Jennifer Handel, to immediately create a  Catskill Mountain Thunder Facebook fan page which would be integrated with their new cutting edge website.

On September 01, 2010 Catskill Mountain Thunder launched their new eye popping website at www.catskillmountainthunder.com. The website is very informational and extremely easy to navigate. Marknet Group did an incredible job putting together exactly what the festival organizers were looking for. Some of the new key features include:

• Links are all in yellow. You now know that anything that is yellow is a link. How is that for easy!

• An easy to read events page. If you are looking for events on Saturday, instead of scrolling all the way down, all you have to do is click on “SAT” ( highlighted in yellow) and it will drop down to all the events featured on Saturday. The same goes for all of the other days.

• Another great feature is the ability to navigate the website from any page. You never have to go back to find a page.
