Trip to Achnacarry

Written by Robin Morris on 03 April 2012

Myself and Laura headed north west from Edinburgh to Achnacarry to check out their nearly-completed apartments. We will be making a Property Portfolio Website for their new self-catering business so the invite gave us a great chance to get a feel for area and what is on offer.

And what a stunning place it is.

Photo of Achnacarry Castle (Keeshu at en.wikipedia)The journey itself was worth the trip, firstly taking in the Forth Bridge as we headed over the Forth before speeding on towards Perth, Dunkeld and then Pitlochry into the Cairngorm National Park and along the banks Loch Laggan (passing the Laggan Dam).

We then drove through Spean Bridge and then turned left at the Commando memorial before skirting Loch Lochy and arriving at Achnacarry.

Lorna (who will be looking after guests in the apartments) and her husband Alan welcomed us with cake and scones before I ran Lorna through some of the Bookster Self Catering interfaces and Laura was given a tour of the estate and the apartments.

There are four apartments in the old steading building, and they are going to be fantastic holiday apartments - a great base to explore the stunning surrounding area.

Keep an eye on www.achnacarry.com for details and booking information.

Keep your directory listings up to date

Written by Robin Morris on 04 February 2012

We have introduced a new Advance Filter in the Admin Console for our Website clients that will allow clients to see all of their Entries that need attention.

last-updated-filter

Ensure that your photos, descriptions and details are the correct ones, giving your website visitors the best possible information.

A very useful tool when it comes to:

  • search engine optimisation - fresh content is highly valuable
  • seeing which Entries have recently been updated by yourself or your clients

Under the "Entries" tab in the Admin Console, the Advanced Filter allows the narrowing down of Entries.

No longer supporting Internet Explorer 7

Written by Robin Morris on 01 February 2012

Internet Explorer 7From 22nd February 2012 we will no longer support the use of Internet Explorer 7 within our Admin Console.  

This will effect less than 2% of our users.

We will also stop checking client websites in IE7 as a matter of course.

Why can't we support it forever? 

Technologies and browsers move on, and we want to take adantage of them.

IE7 has limited support for HTML 5 and other web technologies that we want to use and give our users the best possible experience.

 


Internet Explorer 7 was released in October 2006 so it has had it's time.

Interested in watching IE7 use slowly vanish - check out theie7countdown.com.

Packages become Services

Written by Robin Morris on 26 January 2012

We have made a big change to how Listings are controlled within our Websites.

Tribalogic Websites allow the listing and searching of Entries

Why?

There are lots of good reasons for us to make this change, even if it would appear to be more confusing than useful for some of our longer term clients.

Client relationship

The Service / Subscription model is better for representing your relationship to your client.

You can bundle multiple Entries together to reflect their relationship to your client.

Upgrade and downgrade

We can provide one great interface in the Admin Console for up/down grading Entries for both Listing and Booking services.

Automatically expiring Subscriptions

You can set an expiration date on a listing Subscription that will remind you to charge for a renewal or turn off the listing.

Future: charging for listings

In the future, we will be able to allow our clients to directly charge for Listings on their Websites.

Example: a typical holiday letting website

Admin Console: updated booking page

Written by Robin Morris on 12 December 2011

We have updated the Booking page in the Admin Console to assist with usability.

Old booking page

old booking page

New booking page

new booking page

So why did we change?

The old booking page did not distinguish between the different elements on the page very well so it was difficult to read and take in at a glance.

Also, recent changes to our Platform made changes easier to carry out.

What did we do?

We had a look at all of the information that was on a booking page and tried to arrange it in order of importance to our Admin Console users.

We then moved the important information to more prominent areas and distinguished the areas from each other. It is now easier to take in a booking quickly without having to scan down the page.

In order to hide the information that is not often required, we have hidden it under expandable regions.
