| Qbeds’ previous website was in dire need of a fresh, new look as well as a content management system for its growing number of accommodation listings. Artspoken, one of our 3rd Party Partners, dramatically re-designed the old website into an attractive, clean look.
Once finalised, the design was given to us to integrate into an efficient and search engine friendly website template. We proceeded to extended the website to include the backend for the customised content management system.
The custom-built and comprehensive backend cms includes:
- Attractive, user-friendly and clean design (Artspoken)
- SEO friendly implementation
- Advanced search options to allow users to view a filtered list of accommodation listings matching the search parameters
- Randomisation of the banner advertisements displayed on each page
- Ability for users to submit a banner advertisement to be considered for display on the website
- Individual listing pages including a reservation enquiry form
- Reservation enquiries are forwarded to both the administrator and the owner of the listing. A record of the enquiry is also sent to the user’s email address
- Ability for users to submit their accommodation listing’s details for display on the website
- Secure accounts for owners of the accommodation listings to login and update their listing’s details.
The custom designed CMS backend allows the administrator to:
Manage page content: administrators can edit page text, add links, pictures and more
Manage banner advertisements: administrators can decide which ads are displayed on the website through add, edit, delete and hide options
Manage accommodation listings: administrators can add new listings, edit existing content and delete listings
Manage accounts: allows administrators to manage listing owners’ accounts
Send invoices: invoices are automatically generated and sent to listing owners via email
Export invoices: previous invoices can be exported into a spreadsheet (compatible with many spreadsheeting programs)
Export newsletter subscribers: subscribers can also be exported into a spreadsheet (compatible with many spreadsheeting programs)
