A casual twitter conversation with CDANightOut gave me a great local Cool Click to feature on Good Morning Northwest. Consider the website your guide to the Lake City's nightlife.
Coeur d' Alene resident Kim, along with her husband Larry, were looking for a new business endeavor, like buying a restaurant or coffee stand, but went in an entirely different direction instead they own a website.
Kim found she was always being asked, "What is there to do?" In order to answer those queries she developed CDANightOut, where events and goings-on are funneled.
After 30+ years of experience between Kim and her husband in the hospitality/tourism industry, this couple was made to host a city nightlife guide.
CDANightOut is the stop you make before Google maps, it's where you figure out where you're going. The-hyper local focus of the website makes it a perfect place for either long-time Coeur d' Alene residents or out-of-towners to figure out where the hot spots are.
From bars to restaurants and even salons and limo services, CDANightOut has it all. You'll find dinner and drink specials, karaoke nights and more.
There's another layer to this very user-friendly website, too -- businesses and bands can pay a small fee to be featured on the site.
Kim tells me both bands and businesses can be listed on the site for free, but there's an upgrade option. Bands can upgrade for $30 and post six months worth of play dates on the site's events calendar. Businesses pay $15 to $20 for an upgraded account and can list their menu, Google map link and more.
We're celebrating this website for a few reasons here. One, it's owned and operated by a local couple. Two, you no longer have to ask "what is there to do?" and three, businesses have a new outlet for advertising.
Not only this, but it also meets my requirements for an all-around good website:
-Easy to navigate
-Easy on the eyes
-No pop ups
-Free or no registration (in this case there's no user registration. Yay!)
Kim has big plans for CDANightOut, including a coupon page. Once she and her husband get their Cd'A website to where they want it to be, you can expect a SpokaneNightOut website... oh yes, you'll never have a dull weekend in the Inland Northwest with this couple on your side.
