Hotel rooms and prices
Functionality for managing room types, adding room pages, and adjusting prices depending on the season are the basic requirements for online hotel platforms. In this site we not only created these tools. For the convenience of users, we have added a search engine, the ability to distribute visitors by room, adding the number of adults and children.
eCRM for booking management
CRM for booking management is provided for data exchange with the site. As a result, bookings of occupied rooms are excluded. In the program, the administrator can assign busy days on the calendar, visually easily find free dates for each room, fill out and save visitor data for the archive, and get work analytics.
Mobile adaptation
Mobile adaptation allows you to correctly display components, photos and page information on any screen.
How to create a website for a hotel business?
How to create a website for a hotel, what functions are required and what modules are useful to have, but not required? If you are going to order a hotel website for the first time, choosing a contractor will not be easy. In this sense, there are two options:
- Contact a private freelancer
- Order from a web studio
Contacting individual freelancers, in most cases you will get the opportunity to “save” the project budget. But giving preference to the savings factor, do not forget that specialists working in a low-price niche often do not have the relevant experience, as a result of which your business becomes a field for experiments. It turns out to be a kind of barter - you get an inexpensive site, the contractor gets an interesting professional experience. It is difficult to find a freelance programmer who, without additional help from other specialists, can provide high-quality web design, layout, adaptation, offer admin programming from scratch, fill the content and do SEO optimization. Furthermore, it will be useful to know that the price list of programmers with the necessary experience and skills is not inferior to the price lists of web studios. In both cases, the cost of one man-day, depending on the complexity of the tasks, fluctuates from $50 to $160.
In the case of a web studio, there are also cases when the client becomes a “guinea pig”. The first indicator of such danger is low prices. If for work that requires 1–2 months of time, and the involved staff consists of 3–5 specialists (with a classic case management system — project manager, designer, front-end developer, back-end developer, content manager tester), the team asks for $2,500, then this should be a red light for the customer.
Hotel website functionality
Let's say you found a punctual programmer who asks for “convenient” payment. To understand the costs, the budget size, you should list your wishes, the functionality of the hotel website. We advise you to divide the process into 2 parts. Firstly, in this case, the site will start working and bringing benefits earlier. Secondly, you will have time to attract new visitors, increase turnover and reduce the risk in case of project failure on the part of the contractor.
