Haven Among Finalists to Win Travolution Award for Best Website Design
(firmenpresse) - HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 09/24/12 -- Haven Holidays has made the final three in the race to win a Travolution award for best website design in London on the 9th of October. Haven's website is competing for first place against and .
When designing the website Haven aimed to offer a compelling online experience for customers looking to book a with them. The site's fresh colours create a beach feel, reflecting Haven's reputation as a seaside holiday provider. The content is written in a friendly conversational manner, taking guest's own experiences into account, and capturing the imagination of any future guests looking to feel that sand between their toes.
The website has previously been ranked the top travel website for customers' online experience according to eDigital-Research's eTravel Benchmark survey. 51 UK travel websites were surveyed across sectors including airlines, hotel agents and online tour operators, and Haven's strong performance across the board put them at the top. Users particularly rated the interactive search features on the website.
Haven uses these interactive tools to increase customer engagement. Website users can explore caravans using the interactive tool which takes you into each room in the accommodation, giving you a truly detailed tour. The site also has image and video galleries showing what happens on park, to get customers buzzing with excitement!
Above all, it is important the website is user friendly. It's for everyone - just like Haven, and so is self-explanatory and well presented, appealing to all their customer demographics. Haven identified the customers it attracts and tailored the website to suit their needs. Customers wanted to be able to compare accommodation, compare parks and learn about the areas surrounding the parks.
The website incorporates these opinions, and now let's customers search for nearby parks using postcode and drive time. They can view the parks side by side to compare park perks. Each park's highlights are listed in snappy bullet points, for quick and easy decision making.
There is also an accommodation comparison feature which allows customers to view varying grades of accommodation side by side and compare the list of features available. This converts at 68% above the average.
The site goes one step further to show customers what there is to do out and about in the areas surrounding the parks allowing them to search for events, beaches and places of interest that are near to our parks, to help them decide where's best to book.
With 35 across the UK offering such a wide variety of facilities, it might seem impossible for anyone to choose between them. This makes the website's search and filter facility essential. It pinpoints those parks with the specific elements customers are looking for, be it space bowl slides or sea views. So it's simple for customers to find the perfect holiday package catered to all their needs.
Due to this, online contact conversion has increased 6% and online billings are up 13%. Online sales have increased from 47% to 51% and 46% of call centre calls come from the website. The bounce rate has also reduced by 1%.
Haven prides itself on making sure its holidays are easy breezy right from the very start, and so the website is a key part of the Haven experience, supporting customers' travel experience from start to finish. Karen Parr, an online customer says "It makes a change to have such a user friendly website that isn't frustrating to use."
