MAKE  Hotel  WEBSITE  USERS  HAPPY

Offering website users an optimized and streamlined booking path is vital for achieving the desired conversion rates. With today’s possibilities e.g., converting meta-search users into direct bookers or OTA rate parity clauses becoming illegal, you need to make sure that your website’s usability is continuously optimized for ever increasing guest expectations.

In addition to expert reviews, insights from real website (test) users are vital to prioritize investments in website and IBE developments. H2c’s hotel website usability testing highlights strengths and weaknesses of the website in regards to ease of use and suitable, appealing content.

Improved website usability and content will drive conversions up and increase profitability.
