On the Road to a Better Web Experience
Whether in your home market or planning a road trip, HomeandRoad™ is your one stop source for local info and worldwide travel. We have selected the best providers for travel planning, information and booking; ticketing to local attractions, tours and events; and leaders in online content such as coupons and consumer goods or services, local weather, traffic and more. HomeandRoad.com is just the beginning...
Our Business is Local™
Our goal is to provide an even better experience for Users and advertisers by licensing Local Markets worldwide to use the WaaS--Websites as a Service currently in development. HomeandRoad™ Local Market websites and ad sales operations will be the first locally owned and operated globally-branded network built from a core technology platform.

The Solution is Local
HomeandRoad, based in San Diego, California, grew from a need to find a one-stop source of the most reliable and complete local info and travel for any city or town anywhere in the world. HomeandRoad is developing a solution to provide a far better User experience than search engines (with their millions of results), local news sites (different name each city) or single-purpose sites (when you need local business listings and event tickets, or lodging and weather). And though web Users seeking local content come in three types--Local Users, Regional Users and National Users--they all deserve to find what they want at a nationally-branded source that is reliable and complete. Enter...HomeandRoad.
Our solution is to blend leading edge technology and content databases with local professional feet-on-the-street for content updating and local ad sales. Build a core website platform, develop enterprise support systems, market online and offline and apply all to a licensed business model. The differentiation to Users and advertisers is simply a better experience by realizing the potential of the web, and without invasive User profiling. You know what you want. Our goal is to deliver results without unrequested or unrelated content and ads.
Thank you for visiting HomeandRoad.com for your travel, ticket and local info needs. In the future, this site will be developed as an entry portal for localized versions throughout the world, and to provide travel and information in Local Markets not yet licensed. Exciting!
