Accommodation Website Designs.
We can transform your online presence in just days using one of our pre-selected themes.
The online world has completely transformed the booking of holidays, whether that be a B&B, Country Cottage, Self Catering Apartment or a Small Hotel. Holidaymakers now more than ever are making decisions on where to stay based upon what they see on your website and online feedback mainly from Tripadvisor. Therefore, it’s now more important than ever to ensure that your website grabs the attention and it’s not just ‘click and bye’.
A Study of Lower Farm Holidays
Lower Farm Holiday cottages in the Heart of the Shropshire Hills are in an idyllic location with the countryside right on its doorstep. Their existing website portrayed their accommodation well, but the site was unresponsive and we felt wasn’t as eye catching as it could be.
We felt that site navigation could be improved and more focus should be made on the unique location, the great accommodation available and ensuring that booking with ease was achieved.
We knew that with more people than ever using mobile phones and tablets to go online making the site responsive was one of the most important things to get right. While the existing site viewed as most non-responsive websites do, sizing of the site to fit the phone or tablet could not easily be achieved.
Lower Farms Holidays Today
Using a proven, modern responsive template we knew would bring a complete transformation to the home page and immediately bring focus on the cottages, their special location and draw you in to want to see more and not just click by.
With cool whites and soft greys as the main theme we bring focus to the images of the accommodation to allow visitors to get an instant impression without having to search the site to find images that said ‘yes, i’d love to stay here’.
Whilst focussing on the accommodation, we ensured that booking with ease was at the forefront so we added ‘Book Here’ buttons in bright, eye-catching colours on the key pages to help drive people to make the booking.
Viewing on a phone or tablet is now solved and with straightforward site navigation on each page a visitor can easily find more interesting features about the accommodation or information at the click of one button and not left searching for it.
Regular updates with our client ensured that at ‘go-live’ date we had a site that he was excited about, but we were also excited about putting online.
Bringing a Fresh Look to Accommodation
We know that so many people today rely solely on the internet to make decisions on booking their holiday. I too as the owner of First Creative rely on TripAdvisor before making a decision on where to stay, but probably more importantly I look at the website and if this doesn’t portray that nice welcoming feel then in most instances I will click on by.
Here at First Creative we tend to think of the internet as being our high street. Today, we all know that walking down our high street retailers focus more and more on ensuring their front window draws you in, and not makes you just walk by to one that does. We have the same focus here on your accommodation as a modern retailer would of their store front.
We know that making a decision on changing something that has served you well is never easy and your time is important. We understand that and that’s why our service allows you to focus on your guests, while we take care of your future guests.
