We will integrate your 3rd party booking tool into your website and style it to blend in with the look and feel of the site, giving users a professional looking and extremely helpful application to enjoy on-site. The existence of such a booking tool not only has the potential to increase reservations but also automates the reservations system in a way that allows transactions to occur online and will minimize the amount of users calling into your business to make inquiries. Our clients at the Home Hotel have seen a nearly 25% increase in their online reservations since we integrated their 3rd party online booking tool into their site.

Sitewide Targetable "Ads" ($295)

You will be able to create and target promotional “ads” throughout the site as you choose.

These pages work great for displaying any type of business listings such as attractions or outfitters or restaurants; activities such as hiking or fishing; any kind of product; press releases and even coupons. We work with you to determine what search categories will exist and the best format for the layout of the page. In addition to having an organized list to give a great overall view of your listings, each individual listing will be featured on its own page dedicated to providing more detailed information. As usual, you will be in full control of everything through the CMS.

Increase revenues by promoting your offerings online as gifts, keepsakes, and memorabilia. Our online store offers a visual queue of listed items, each with its own section for details, cart functionality for purchasing multiple items and on-site credit card transactions. We will work with you to integrate 3rd party Merchant Services in an eloquent way to provide a professional look and feel to your online store and we will always provide the most secure settings for transactions available via Security Certificates.

Password-Protected Photo Library ($450)

Our proposed option would be using the photo gallery page used by your general users that allows you to display a variety of photo albums searchable by name and/or category by your general users that also has the potential for providing your travel professionals with a log-in access point via a button or link that tells them they can download images. When clicked the user would be prompted for a password, which once entered would give access to download the actual high-resolution individual images or full albums of high-resolution images. If they did not have access then they would have a form to fill out that would request access from you and you could decide whether or not to grant it. We could provide controls in the CMS for allowing individual photos or galleries to only be shown to people who have successfully entered a password.
