Belmont, North Carolina
Overview
Small-town charm, built to be explored.
The challenge
A lot to discover — places, food, events, stays, weddings and history — for visitors who want to plan a trip, not dig through a directory.
The approach
Structure first: Places and Events as their own content types, so every listing, filter and page stays consistent as the guide grows.
