  • Search engine optimisation
  • Provision of suitable and relevant back links
Multi-page website:

If your bed and breakfast has character, has 2 or more bedrooms or you have lots of photos to display you would be better suited to a multi-page website.

Each page of a website has its own URL (address) and can therefore be found in its own right independently of the index (home) page. Thus a 10-page website is likely to attract more visitors simply because its larger size allows the positioning of more and different keywords on the various pages.

Using our simple online design tools we will find out what you find aesthetically pleasing. You choose from a selection of different design options and we create a website based on your choices.

There will be enough room to add:

  • 20 Photos
  • Unlimited text
  • Availability check bar
  • Google Map to show your location
  • Contact form
  • Badges and awards
  • Facilities icons and descriptions

Typically, such a site would have these pages:

  • Home
  • Bedrooms
  • Facilities / Breakfast, etc
  • Prices / Terms & conditions
  • Location / Directions / Maps
  • Contact us
  • About the town / Attractions / Things to do
  • Accessibility / Terms & conditions

The extra text, keywords and search engine-optimised photos makes it ever more likely that the site will be found in Google and Yahoo searches.

This type of website is ideal for those who have:

  • 2 or more bedrooms
  • A house with character
  • Lots of images to display

One-off cost: £350 for up to 10 pages
Maintenance support: £95 per annum

The £95 annual element includes:

  • Rental of domain name
  • Website hosting on our server
  • Content management system

Please note: this price is based on a design structure that is the same on each page. If a different layout is required for any pages there may be a small extra charge.

If extra functionality is needed that is not included in the original design i.e. drop down menu; gallery page; this will be quoted for separately.

Text

We need as much information about your bed and breakfast as possible. The search engines love text so if we can get approximately 300 words on your home page and a similar amount on a page about your town and locality, then this will help your website's rankings in the search engines. Also your potential guests may spend longer on your site reading, thus increasing your chances of a booking.

Please note that the text on your website needs to be unique and shouldn't appear on any other websites. If duplicate text is used this could bring down your website in the search engine rankings.

Availability

All accommodation website customers get 100 free credits for the bed and breakfast availability system which includes an advert and brochure page on www.bedbreakfastavailability.co.uk and an availability check bar on their website.

This unique system not only stops unwanted calls when you're full it also acts as a local network and drives business from unavailable establishments to establishments that have availability.

Photography

“A picture is worth a thousand words”. Photos and images should be used in abundance – at least 2 per page chosen from still photos, aerial photos, panoramic photos, virtual tours, graphic images and painted images.

Professional photos

If you need professional photos we can arrange this through our associate Universal Sky Pictures.

The photography package includes:

  • 75' high mast 'aerial' and panoramic photos
  • wide-angle lens interior photos and high dynamic range photos
  • 360° virtual tours

Price: £190 (£150 for members of BedPosts - a free to join accommodation club and forum)
