The Benefits of an Angelfish Website

As specialists in the accommodation industry, Angelfish has a unique insight into what visitors expect of a Bed & Breakfast, Guest House or Hotel website. We use our knowledge and experience gained from developing this type of website over many years to guide you in the creation, optimisation and marketing of your site. We are committed to the ongoing development and improvement of our sites, so by taking out our support & maintenance package, your website can benefit from new features as they become available.

Managed Web Hosting

Our websites are hosted on a dedicated Angelfish web server provided by Rackspace® who are recognised as an industry leader in the provision of managed servers. All websites are monitored 24 x 7 x 365 days a year to ensure maximum uptime and performance. Angelfish are able to offer our hosting at just £100 per year, allowing you all the reliability and performance benefits of managed hosting at a price many web design companies charge for inferior shared hosting.

Clear, High-Impact Home Page Design

Your home page is the most important page on your website. It will be the first impression of your business for most visitors, so it is vital to create a design that attracts the interest of potential guests. We work closely with you to design a home page that will grab the attention of your target market and ensure that they book with you rather than the competition.

Secure Admin Site

Angelfish provides you with a secure admin site where you can log in and view all your website information including visitor statistics, enquiries, online booking requests and guest comments. You also have full control over your web page contents - both text and pictures - so you aren't reliant on Angelfish when it comes to changing details such as phone numbers and room rates, or keeping room descriptions up to date. Any changes you make in the admin site are immediately reflected in your website.

Online Availability & Booking

A live, updateable room availability calendar showing room prices with the option to receive and process commission-free online bookings using Angelfish B&B Manager. This powerful and intuitive desktop accounting system for accommodation providers normally costs from £125 to £275, but is provided free of charge to Angelfish Website customers.

Enquiries & Guest Comments

Our enquiry management system ensures that you receive e-mail notification of all new enquiries and guest comments. You can then use your secure admin panel to respond to enquiries and approve guest comments for display on the website.

Our service includes the latest Search Engine optimisation techniques searches as well as advice on the best key words and phrases to use in your text.
