HOSPITALITY & TOURISM INDUSTRY
Australia boasts an abundance of tourist attractions; unique flora and fauna, world famous landmarks, and gourmet experiences - with top quality hospitality options to match. And many of these businesses are also fine examples of web design and development that engages visitors (HERE are a few of our favourites. ). In Orange, NSW, IM Web is surrounded by a range of hospitality and tourism companies. We know the owners and we understand their customers. This enables us to produce beautiful websites and other brand elements for a wide range of businesses associated with the hospitality and tourism industries.
Apart from serving food and coffee, accommodating guests, and informing about local activities and attractions, hospitality and tourism businesses have to make booking and enquiring as easy as possible for their customers. It’s a vital functionality of their website. Booking a room, table or checking availability should be a seamless experience, accessible via multiple channels. At IM Web, we can share our extensive experience in this field. For restaurants and cafes thinking of enabling online ordering of takeaway and home delivery, we can also advise regarding the technical options of doing that.
We live in a world of social media and online networks. For the vast majority of consumers, social sharing is as much a part of daily life as brushing their teeth. So it’s hugely important that your website is synced with the social platforms your existing and potential customers use. With fierce competition in the hospitality and tourism industries, it is essential to have a seamless and integrated digital and social presence. Smart use of social media, newsletters and analysis of your target audiences, could bring invaluable advantages and help you to establish a fantastic reputation.
