This case study details the development of a website for a hotel : complete redesign on a healthier environment, mobile navigation designed for booking and compatibility with the channel managers on the market.
📋 Summary
The client and their context: a hotel seeking direct bookings
The client, hotelhome.fr, is a hotel establishment. Its website must showcase the rooms and spaces, but above all, convert visitors into bookings.
The old site no longer provided a sound technical foundation for growth. The client wanted a better-built, scalable environment, and long-term support.
The need: a fast, mobile-friendly website connected to the channel manager
- A complete overhaul without interruption of service;
- a site fast despite a large number of photos;
- a Easy booking on mobile, in just a few clicks;
- compatibility with the management tool (channel manager) of the hotel;
- reassuring elements for visitors.
What we have achieved
We developed the custom redesign in a separate development environment to ensure no service interruptions during the work. The new foundation is healthier, better built technically, and ready for future growth.
The layout is responsive. Resources and visuals have been optimized, with a fast-loading masonry gallery. Calls to action are present on every page, and on mobile, a floating CTA allows bookings at any time.
The booking system is compatible with all channel managers on the market, allowing for centralized booking management. TripAdvisor reviews, in particular, are integrated and updated automatically. Iotaweb then handles the management and maintenance of the environment. See also our Airbnb / Booking synchronized booking sites and our speed optimization service.
