Monday, May 19th, 2008

Mellon & Co. is pleased to announce the launch of the Olean Bethany Lutheran Church website.

As one of many non-profit projects undertaken this year, OleanBethanyLutheran.org provides a way for the Church to reach out to congregation members and the public alike with features such as an online monthly newsletter and updated prayer list.

The Mellon & Co. team is pleased to see organizations like Bethany Lutheran utilizing the internet to communicate and relate to its constituents. Building an online presence is a great way for churches and other non-profits to promote their mission and connect with audiences they otherwise may not have reached.

Century 21 Town & Country of Ellicottville gets new name, launches new website

Mellon & Co. Re-designs Ellicottville.com for new ERA Vacation Properties

Century 21 Town and Country of Ellicottville has a new name, a new look and has added a few new friendly faces.

And they’ve topped it off with a new website.

Ellicottville.com has been redesigned by Mellon & Co. to represent the branding of the new ERA Vacation Properties, which includes the former Hunt ERA, Century 21 Town and Country and Ellicottville Concierge offices of Ellicottville, NY. Century 21 Town and Country acquired the other offices April 1 and will now operate under the name ERA Vacation Properties.

ERA Vacation Properties is owned by Bill Soffel. Serving all of Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties, the newly expanded company has started the process of integrating the former Hunt agents and vacation rental properties into the Ellicottville operation.

This integration can be seen on the new web site, which provides complete details and photographs of the agents’ vacation property listings along with a number of resources for both buyers and sellers. The site serves as a full-service real estate web site including property searches, mortgage information, and vacation rentals directory.

“Our focus is to brand ERA Vacation Properties as the premier real estate, vacation rental and property management company for Cattaraugus and Chautauqua Counties. Mellon & Co. understands our vision and has been instrumental in facilitating this mission,” said Joanna Dahlbeck, director of owner and guest services for ERA Vacation Properties.

The look of Ellicottville.com mirrors that of ERAvp.com, which represents the Chautauqua offices of ERA Vacation Properties. Both websites were designed by Mellon & Co. and top off a substantial list of websites developed by Mellon & Co. within the real estate industry.
