Holiday Bookings Website

This one was for the same guy as had already had a couple of other affiliate style websites from me. He expected me to build affiliate websites for him then to sit back and cash the payments.

This one had everything - package holidays, flights, villas, travel insurance, car hire, airport transfers, airport parking... You name it! Apart from travel money (never yet found an affiliate scheme for that) he had it.

The idea when I met up with him was that he had a post office and would advetise the site and services to people in his post office. Given that a lot of people do go there for travel services, he had a great target audience. But then he decided as we went live to sell the post office.

This left him with no immediate way of promoting his site. I kept giving him ideas, but he just wanted a quick income for no work. Sorry, doesn't happen.

Anyway, after 2 years the site was allowed to go. Moral of the story - put nothin gin then expect nothing out!

Travel Agent Website

Travel Agent WebsiteThis website was one of three websites all first published in a matter of weeks of each other and all for travel agents. What's more, all used the same affiliate scheme to provide their online booking for their package holidays.

This customer is still with us and is talking about extending out by specialising in the cruise market - so hopefully a new site there in a month or two. This one was bright and colourful, yet clean and professional looking. It was also an early venture into content management systems - with the owner able to add new offers, which are summarised on every page and displayed in full on a special page. The newer sites have a far easier to use system!

Travel Agent Website

This site arrived to us as a referal from an existing customer. A travel agent with an existing site and relationships with suppliers, he wanted a new site that better comibined his offerings and gave a newer, fresher feel than the free site he already had.

We combined some vila schemes along with a package holiday affiliate scheme to provide plenty of choice for his customers, giving loads of earning potential.

A few of his standard pictures decorated the site, along with some graceful graphics to produce site any travel agent would love. In fact, during the build process another travel agent saw the site, and signed up for one himself!
