The key website objectives were twofold:

• Provide a platform for property owners to effectively promote and manage their property portfolios
• Provide a stylish and easy to navigate / search online property 'shop window' for prospective holidaymakers to browse holiday accommodation and book online

In such a competitive market, it was crucial that the new website had a strong and immediate impact, in the first instance encouraging property owners to sign up and add their property details. With these owners already using other websites to do this, the new site needed to make the right impression to demonstrate how much easier it is to manage and how much better it promotes their properties. Once the property database grew, the time came to promote the website to the public.

Only a few months into its life, the website has over 1,000 properties listed and is growing fast, with visitor levels increasing daily.

"The client had a very clear vision for the website and the objectives going forward, our design team interpreted this vision perfectly and created a logo and overall design for the website that ticked all the right boxes. With clear communication channels throughout the project, the project team worked closely with the client to create all of the dynamic functionality now available to the website users. The feedback received already, offers glowing reports from property owners used to some of the below par lettings websites out there - the future looks bright for theholidaylet.com."

"Even though creating the Holiday Let website made me crave a holiday in the sunshine, it was an incredibly interesting project to work on! The design needed to create the aura of everything a holiday is about with strong imagery and clear navigation options enabling browsers to easily find the holiday home ideal for them. Key to this aim was presenting the properties well, with a slideshow and simple browsing tools implemented to achieve the best results. The site really stands out from the competitors sites we reviewed and I know where I'll be looking when I do manage to get that holiday booked..."

"This was a large project that was very enjoyable to work on, with so many dynamic features and functionality there was plenty to puzzle over in developing the website. The comprehensive administration area also needed a great deal of thought and planning; this is essentially the hub to run the online business so needed to cover all elements of the website from simply adding content, to managing property owners, to managing video and payments."
