Fresh and contemporary -
hotel.info has a new homepage and booking dialogue
London, 29 September 2009 - hotel.info, the free online hotel reservation service with more than 210,000 hotels worldwide, has unveiled its new web design and optimised booking dialogue online.
The new hotel.info homepage has a fresh, contemporary look that is both cleaner and clearer than before. The main emphasis continues to be placed on the hotel search tool, which is given due prominence in terms of size and position. Visitors to the site who are looking for hotels can now jump directly from the homepage to the best-rated or favourite hotels and destinations as selected by hotel.info’s own customers. A separate "News & Tips" section provides customers with interesting information, such as how the hotels are classified, special offers and prize draws.
But not just the homepage is new; the equally important booking dialogue has also undergone an overhaul, to make it easier to use. The application displays the relevant hotel information (description, images, map and guest reviews) in a clearly structured tabbed format. hotel.info has also fine-tuned its booking confirmation, which it now sends out as an HTML e-mail that presents the important information in this message in a much clearer format to customers.
Warini Munshi, Managing Director at hotel.info hotel booking Ltd., is delighted with the new fresh look of the hotel.info design: "Naturally we really like the new design. However, our core focus has always been on making sure our customers are happy, and many of the changes are based on their feedback. Design is just one of many aspects in which we have to reflect customer wishes, though. But if the customer uses hotel.info to make a booking, it means we have got it right!"
