The Niagara Falls Tourism Bureau in Niagara Falls, Canada has just recently launched an all new website!

Their Web Design company, 180 Marketing in St. Catharines, did an outstanding job with the new web design. This new site is a huge improvement from the previous version, which was saturated with banner ads, hard on the eyes (too many reddish colors), and had some navigational issues.

-Simplified and effective menu navigation
-New Vacation Planning Section (eg. MyNiagaraFalls)
