Situation

The website EmeraldForestHotel.com is old-fashioned, and upgrading it is not an option. So you make a new one from scratch and with the new looks, plans and strategy of your hotel. The influence of the large booking platforms is enormous, but you still have to have a good functioning website.

  • should keep your direct bookings going
  • is relevant to your SEO-positioning
  • is important for your findability in search
  • is important for the trust of potential customers.

The site should reflect, of course, what your hotel stands for.

Task, deliverable

You are allowed to use a template (Wix, Wordpress, Myshop, etc.) as long as you adapt it to your hotel. Make it as realistic as possible and be sure it is visible 'live' and without restrictions.
Focus more on content and house-style and menu-structure, rather than on technique. Beware of IP rights!

Create the website and copy the link to the website, be sure it is 'public', so the links work for anyone. Put the link in your Team File in cel F47.
