We made a tourism bureau site for our village in South Africa
Greyton is a popular holiday village in the Riviersonderend mountain range in the Western Cape South Africa. At the entrance to the village what was once a thriving tourism information office that existed on accommodation bookings commissions was pretty much bankrupt by Airbnb taking over most accommodation bookings in our village. Like many places in the world, houses were being bought by outsiders to put on Airbnb.

A website for remote workers to find Airbnb's with good Internet2023 · thewirednomad.com · ▲25I created this website about a month ago to solve a problem I was facing myself as an aspiring digital nomad. It is very important to find an accommodation with fast and reliable Internet.

Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
