Professional design

If you're asking guests to part with hundreds of pounds for a holiday, you need to re-assure them that the holiday they're buying is going to be great value. This is best achieved with great web design - that illustrates the quality of the holiday - and by covering any sales objections between the visitor and a booking.

In addition, a website has to look great and be easy to navigate around. Research shows that visitors will assess your homepage in just 1/20th of a second - so it had better be right!

All SiteNinja sites blend great design and good structure to maximise the desirability of your property or yacht. This leads to more sustained interest and ultimately more bookings.

Website content and structure

All our websites include the following static pages:

• A front page, introducing your property or yacht to the visitor
• Information about the local area - nearest beach, shop and restaurant facts
• Details of the accommodation and communal areas available
• A page describing the best method of travelling to the area
• Details of prices and how to book
• Details of how to get in touch

For premium sites, additional pages may be relevant for certain situations - for example sample menus or details of press coverage. The full list of pages is discussed and finalised during the planning phase of the design.

Both free and premium site have our content control system, allowing you to edit the text yourself. If you're unsure of the right words to use, our copywriting service can help get your message across.

You take control

A website is no good if it's out of date.

Using our custom-built content management system, a site owner can log onto their website - just like you do with your email - and edit the content in place. No need to worry about HTML editing or FTP programs - and the changes appear online instantly!

Now you no longer have to wait for your web designer to get round to posting updates - just do it yourself and retain complete control of your site.

Technical details

There are lots of technical issues to consider when constructing a website, including accessibility, cross-browser compatibility, security, privacy policies and being search-engine friendly. It's easy to get bogged down in recommendations, protocols and code hacks!

This is not the kind of stuff you want to be wasting time with, so we put a great deal of effort into making sure our websites cover all these issues for you. You can relax, knowing that your message is getting out to the widest possible audience just as you intend it to.

Hosting

Once your site is ready to go, it'll need to be hosted on a server. We can publish your new site on our servers and setup any email accounts required¹.

The hosting service is maintained for a fixed monthly fee of £9.99 per month.

You'll also need a domain name - we'll provide you with an address in the format (villaname).siteninja.co.uk, or you can import a new or existing domain from elsewhere.

Optional features - go beyond the basic brochure

It's very easy to just copy your brochure wording to your new website - but websites are capable of much more, and can entice clients in with a variety of features:

• Online availability, pricing and booking system
• Property walk-throughs and video tour
• Interactive area map showing location and nearby attractions
• Live weather information for the area
• Social networking feeds to update visitors on the latest from your property
• Multi-language options
• Online client guestbook and forums

All of these (and many more) features are available as bolt-ons to our premium sites.
