Tourism
Being based in the Southwest, we deal with a lot of tourism based businesses. Ironically, in a recent report, more than 50% of Southwest tourism businesses stated that they did not think the Internet had anything to offer them. However, as you can see from our client's comments, they have achieved great success by having well designed, easy to find and usable websites.
Browns Hotel Dartmouth
Browns is a small townhouse hotel in the centre of Dartmouth. Formally known as the Little Admiral, Browns is owned and run by Clare and James Brown who have refurbished the hotel lovingly over the last three years to make an unstuffy yet stylish hotel, with contemporary furnishings and a relaxed feel.
The hotel already had a graphic designer working on rebranding the hotel and we were therefore required to use her original design as the basis for the design of the site. Particular attention has been paid to usability and accessibility. The site is database driven with the client having control over large areas of the content, including the Late Availability page.
We recently added a custom newsletter system to the site.
Fingals Hotel
Fingals is one of the most comfortable and quirky hotels in Devon.
They have had a huge success with their web site with guests "without fail, commenting on its excellence and how original and different it is". We understand that over half their booking come via the web.
The hotel was recently included in the "Top 10 summer destinations" by The Independent on Sunday.
In 2011 Fingals commission a completely redesigned website, content management system and newsletter CRM.
Meadfoot Hotel Torquay
Torquay hotels do not get much friendlier than this family run hotel near Meadfoot Bay in Torquay. In keeping with the style of this top Torquay hotel accommodation, all bedrooms are individually furnished and tastefully decorated, have en-suite bathrooms with either a bath or shower, and offers a first class traditional breakfast with truly helpful service.
The website was designed a number of years ago but has been continuously developed. We added a newsletter, content management system and most recently the site underwent a makeover with much fresh content, new slideshows and video being added.
In 2011 the website was completely redesigned to give it a more boutique hotel look reflecting the stylish upgrades made the hotel.
Moccas Court Hotel
Moccas Court is a luxury country house hotel set deep in the Herefordshire countryside. Called "grand and groovy" in The Guardian's Guide to Rural Retreats. Winner of many awards, Moccas Court is a "classic example" of a country house hotel. The Guardian went on to say, "Authentic is the first word that comes to mind... Arcadian scenes straight from an 18th-century landscape painting... In a sense, Moccas has invented a new variant on country escapes, the pure historical estate experience."
Integralvision were called in after their previous website, designed by a friend, failed to deliver. The new site allows the owners to update key areas, including News and Events, Menus and Tariffs, guests accolades and the ability to add images to the photo gallery.
In 2011 the website was re-purposed more towards weddings and house parties.
Buena Vista Bocaina Luxury Lanzarote Villa
A brochure style website to promote this Luxury Lanzarote Villa. One of the major purposes of the site is to put across the Luxury of this Lanzarote Villa. Lots of images were key and this was achieved by including 360 panoramas and an image gallery, as well as a Flash banner and plenty of photographs on every page.
We were asked to manage the client Google Adwords campaign and this proved a great success with the Villa being fully booked.
