Shiver me timbers! Hooks unfortunately isn’t affiliated with jolly pirates. It is however a professional tourism, accommodation management & booking platform.

Hooks is a lovely little platform that furnishes your accommodation with a professional shop window from which to attract more custom. Designed for ease of use, featuring beautiful photography, boasting clear and intuitive calendar and online booking systems as well as an easy to use administration interface for managing inventory. All custom built with you in mind.

Similar to Nails, Hooks is a pre-developed platform that includes all of the functionality that small hotels, B&B's, Guesthouses and Tourism providers need: the ability to manage inventory, sell rooms, take payments online and extend their warm welcome beyond the doormat and straight into the guest's home.

Suitable for businesses of any size, Hooks can be extended or reduced to suit your budget. Let us know exactly what you need and we'll work out what it'll take to deliver.

THE PLAN OF ACTION *CUE ROCKY MUSIC*

CONCEPT, BUSINESS & BRAND DEVELOPMENT

We spend time finding out exactly what you offer, looking at your existing online channels to identify any potential weaknesses and developing new strategies. This can include working with external influences such as TripAdvisor and external vendors such as LateRooms.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO

You NEED wonderful photography (and for some, videography) to compete. No doubt about it. We can't portray your hotel in the best light without it. That's why with every Hooks project, we come over and spend a few hours snapping away. Travel expenses may apply though - all the better [for us] if you're situated somewhere warm like California! Video represents an additional cost, but the bottom line is, generally, websites with the right type of images and video generate more sales.

DESIGN

Our talented designers knock together working prototypes and provide you with a selection of designs to choose from.

DEVELOPMENT

Our developers simultaneously set your website up using pre-developed Nails technology where possible - and custom develop anything new on your behalf. Because this is Hooks, we absorb as much of the custom development cost as possible. We also set you up with the most suitable payment gateway, hosting and other complementary services such as Google Apps.

TESTING, LAUNCH & ONLINE MARKETING

We see the entire production through to launch and offer a 60 day update policy where the design and functionality can be tweaked (within reason) until you and our team are all tweaked out! Because they're well built, our sites perform well organically in search engines. If you want to take things further and start an online marketing campaign - we can help with that too!
