Website Design

I require a website designed for www.thinkhostel.com "Where will you sleep"?

A web commerce site like hostelworld, hostelbooker, hostelclub.com
Guests can search accomodation, flights and care hire before travel.

Based on each city search, guests can read reviews, view local points of intrest, download map to mobile or pdf print for how to get around and what to do.

We will also add in what to do on a budget: 100 - 200 - 300+ to help guests select which to do first based on budget type. Reviews of tourist places will help guests select.

After a booking has been made by a guests browsing; they have an account created, guests can now upload and review tourist places but can only review the hostel 24 hours after the first day has passed. Email remind sent 3 time after date if no hostel review has been submited. first remind 72 hours, second reminder 1 week and thired reminder 1 month.

Guests can search insurance for travel prior as a tick box; part of the booking opt in or out (same as easyjet); guest can also review the local travel info on trains, busses and recommended taxi provided by the hostel, tours. Guest can access:

Hostel Traveller on the site section to purchase or hire mobiles with sim's, top up credit cards in selected currency, currency converter, weather (once region selected), find backpack deals provided by cotsworld delivered to home or hostel prior arrival. Tours can also be booked searched online either privatly or via the hostel in this area.

Hostel Access

Hostels can join to publsh their accomodation and comment on reviews; upload pictures and videos to personalised the area like their own website; www.thinkhostel.com/yourhostel
Hostels function to add packaged deal, sell dorm or per bed, add picturews per dorm, post jobs, advise on local car hire, taxi, tours and what to do whilst visiting, events publish and store email for all booked guests to email new letter from that specific hostel. Add in social media for all bookings to join and grow the hostel social group of contacts.

Online Deals

Link for site look:
Booking box on this site should be the same as on this link: http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/30704.html
Guests can select flights, accommodation, car hire, tours separately and the basket can add all selected before finalising the payment, guests can remove or add additional for other dates in other cities and pay at once. 10% is taken online unless we agree to take full payment and transfer in 15/30 days to the companies involved.

For a site functional look, not colour or pictures; the link gives a view of all the options displayed on a site that host and offers a central point of booking: http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/31168.html

Site should look and feel like this link: http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/31148.html
Works well with the student website: http://www.statravel.co.uk/ (site is focus on students, TH.COM is to the backpacker market).

Love the header on this site, showing all the tourist places globally and maybe regional pages can have such info e.g; Scotland, London, Egypt hostel showing local country places of interest behind each hostel page so guest know and are motivated by the region page they are in. Link: http://www.templatemonster.com/joomla-templates/31452.html

Travel Services header can have the global map to aid guests know they are in a global solution section offering services to meet their needs: http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/31823.html

Deal Page view should look like this link offering deals for guests to click into and view more detail: http://www.templatemonster.com/prestashop-themes/35788.html
