Information for Web Designers
Get started quickly and easily by adding simple
links from your client's web site
The booking system is easy to add to your client's website and simple for client's to manage with a secure online control panel.
Getting started is easy, theres no software installation or technical skill required you just add a link from your client's website to the booking pages. Or if you prefer the pages can be included inside a frame.
Clients can either choose standard pages which come in a choice of 7 colour schemes or they can opt for pages that can fully match their website.
Customising the design
Take your client's booking system to another level with our customisable page upgrade - now your booking pages can fully match your website. Having booking pages that match the client's site means customers are unaware they've left their website and means their branding is maintained.
While the standard plain booking pages look good, with the optional customisable page upgrade your booking pages can transformed to fully match you website - maintaining your branding and helping generate customer confidence. The professional looking customisable pages help generate more online bookings.
Here's how one owner had his booking pages transformed:

The standard pages are shared among all property owners using the booking system but with the customisable page upgrade the owner gets their own separate template, CSS and image files.
All files are accessed via FTP and enable you to directly edit the HTML code of parts of the page and upload your own images and files. The dynamically created parts of the page - such as the booking calendar - cannot have their HTML edited. Instead you control the look and format using the CSS stylesheets.
If you're new to the booking system than allow between 6 - 8 hours for the customising process, depending on your technical experience and level of customising that you plan to do.
