Ambition
Ikon Digital were approached by Arran Holiday Rentals to produce a bespoke content management and online booking system to allow staff to add, update and change all aspects of the various properties on their books. The Ikon Digital Ecommerce Team met up with Arran Holiday Rentals to discuss various options and design ideas for a fully featured online booking and reservation system.
The new website needed to be stylish, easy to use and rank highly for certain search terms.
Actions
The Ikon Digital team produced several design concepts and structures to show how visitors would find their way around the website. The website was produced using XHTML, CSS, jQuery, PHP, MySQL, Drupal, Ubercart and a hotel booking module.
The development of this website was a truly rewarding experience and involved heavy customisation and re-development of some core functionality within the CMS and the individual modules. The improvements allow users to search by date for properties available to rent and follows this search procedure all the way through to completing the booking of the property online. Combined with a stunning website design, complete content management and jQuery animation techniques showcases the various properties for rent.
Impact
Since launch in January 2010, the website has had alot of positive feedback and is getting steady traffic each week while moving up the listings for the target key terms in search engines.
