Hotel Booking Web Design LazyCLoud B&B Lake Geneva WI
Web Design Client: Lazy Cloud Bed & Breakfast
Location: Lake Geneva, WI 53147
AdverGroup LLC was contacted by the owner of Lazy Cloud Bed & Breakfast who needed a new website for their bed and breakfast that would possess hotel reservation functionality. Lazy Cloud Bed and Breakfast has two locations, one in Lake Geneva and one in Fontana, WI. They were seeking a local web designer to assist them in developing this new hotel website that would allow customers to reserve their suites directly from their own website as well as linking to all the major travel sites like Expedia, Hotels.com and more.
All objectives of this B&B website development project were met. We created an attractive custom hotel reservation website using the Joomla! content management system and implemented all of the website’s metadata, ensuring page titles, descriptions and page content were in harmony and coded properly per Google search webmaster guidelines.
Beyond all of the features this website includes, AdverGroup also provided onsite training for the Lazy Cloud staff on how to operate the administrator section of the hotel website, which was developed with access control features allowing various access levels for managers and innkeepers.
