Web Development
Our custom Web sites are developed with an open-source content management system called Drupal.
Hostel Website
Basic websites have the following features included:
- Powerful content management system
- We use the same powerful website software that is used by companies like Forbes, Yahoo, AOL, The New York Observer, the United Nations, and other major companies and organizations.
- Easy to use
- Our websites give you the ability to add and edit content without your having to know HTML or webdesign.
- On-site SEO
- Our websites are designed to rank well in search engines.
- Photo galleries
- Upload and manage your hostel's photo galleries through simple Web-based forms.
- Calendar of events
- Add a dynamic events calendar to your hostel's website.
- Multiple user roles
- Different employees can have different levels of access to the website. For example, your head manager could have full access to the site, but your secondary managers might only have access to upload photos.
- Hostel blogs
- Hostel blogs are a great way to let people know news about your hostel, or things to do in your city.
- RSS
- RSS is a technology that allows you to syndicate your content throughout the Web. We integrate a technique we call "feed & ping" into your site that helps your content get indexed quickly by search engines.
- On-site travel guides
- We predict that the next generation of hostel and hotel websites will have online travel guides. Our software lets you create an online travel guide to your city/region/country on your hostel's website. This increases traffic from search engines. Backpackers will also appreciate that your website is useful in planning their trip.
- Podcast and video enabled
- Make your hostel's website iPod ready with podcasts from your city. Easily upload videos of your hostel to your website.
- Email newsletter
- The ability to send email newsletters is built into our sites.
- Polls
- The ability to create polls on your site is built-in.
- Contact form plus up to 2 custom webforms.
- All sites include a contact form that can send email to multiple departments (webmaster, reservations, jobs, etc.). We also include up to two custom forms.
- PDF user guide
- We'll give you a custom PDF users guide that shows you how to use your new database-powered website.
Multi-language Add-on
The basic hostel site has the ability to add content in different languages. For more control over your site's translations we can build in a more powerful translation feature.
