Rosemead Guest House
Client Brief
TNC (IT Solutions) Ltd first created a website for Rosemead Guest House in the late 1990's.
Technology is continually moving forward and the current design is the third incarnation
of this website. Each time the client has been very happy with the success of the previous
design but wanted a fresh look with additional new features.
The Solution
A clean modern design was created which allowed for flexability when adding content. Careful
consideration was given to the information required to encourage a booking. As a result areas were
created to display room rates and comments left by other guests and the "Lightbox" script
was used for showing photographs. A prominent direct link was provided to the Guest house booking
system.
This web site was built using ASP.Net 3.5 with a content management system based on an Access
database. Technologies used included ASP.Net, VB.Net, Ajax, Xhtml and CSS.
Features
The Rosemead Guest House website has a number of features which include:
Updateable Rates – The management console can be used to add, edit or delete
room rates. The rates are directly linked to a webservice which provides up to date exchange rates
so that the rates can be displayed in Sterling, Dollars or Euros.
Special Offers – The management console can be used to add, edit or delete
special offers which are displayed on the website.
Guest Comments – Guests can enter their comments directly in to the website. A
notification is sent to the guest house so that the comments can be approved using the management
console.
Mail List – Website visitors can subscribe or unsubscribe from the
guest house mailing list. The management console provides access to download a current mailing list.
Links Directory – The management console provides facilities to add, edit or delete
links from the website links database.
Sitemap – A dynamic sitemap has been provided to ensure that any new pages that
are created are automatically added to the sitemap
