OPEN ROOMS - UPDATEABLE WEBSITE WITH ONLINE AVAILABILITY
	Bookassist scotland	WHO'S GOT the key to OPEN ROOMS?
*Open Rooms Scotland has this week introduced the first in a series of upgrades for its users giving a choice of three new "skins" for the accommodation websites.* The Open Rooms Scotland website package combines The Claymore Project tourism database with Bookassist's booking engine and offers affordable ecommerce ready web design for the largest or smallest operator with prices starting from £695 plus VAT inclusive of hosting, website development and integration of Bookassist into the site. The new changes allow accommodation providers to select the design they wish from a selection of three options with others added over the next couple of months. The site remains fully content managed with the website owner able to update content, images and news. Events and Job Vacancies can also be added to the system for publication on a range of third party websites. Current users can view the different styles currently available by clicking on the Site Appearance area of their control panel and select a new one to apply to their website which will update immediately. And of course if you're interested in changing your website in the future you could now perhaps consider Open Rooms Scotland as the perfect future proof answer.

Why? Well basically because it works. Accommodation providers are finding rooms and rates easier than ever to control, visitors are finding it easy to make bookings in multiple languages, currencies of their choice and functions such as text confirmations nad last minute availability make it even more effective. VisitDublin.com generate nearly €6 million through a single website, in Scotland sales through BookAssist are up more than 300% on last December and an increasing number of rural hotels using the system are now looking at in excess of £100,000 in online bookings through their own websites.

		Over the past few months we've been road testing the new system with accommodation providers of all shapes and sizes. Here are a few examples. Golf View Hotel, Nairn One of the hotels to go through the mill with Swallow over the past couple of years. The Golf View Hotel called and asked to create the site for them. Within 48 hours it was live with new domain name and live availability. Thistle Hotel, Irvine To support the national website general manager Malcom Bailish asked us to put an open Rooms Website up "as sson as humanly possible". By 3 o'clock the same day his site was up and live. Failte Bed and Breakfast, Ayr Small privately owned B&B - Billy had his own static website but we transferred over the domain name and hosting and the site now has information on golf, travel to Ayrshire and its own Google map as well as live low cost reservations. Windsor Hotel, Nairn The three star Windsor Hotel is privately run and was in need of a new website with the emphasis on being able to update information on short breaks to the Highlands and golf holidays in Nairn. It's sister hotel The Claymore House Hotel also uses BookAssist for online reservations The Inn at Lathones The Inn at Lathones is itself Powered by The Claymore Project; the Open Rooms Scotland site has been designed as a complementary web presence to increase Nick White's internet exposure for short breaks and golf holidays to Fife.
