Mallard Cottage, Winchester (2001)

Friends requested that I design a site for their bed and breakfast, and the content, format and structure was originally taken from a leaflet already designed for the business.

  • The site was redesigned after a couple of years in order to look more fresh and professional, provide more information, and to allow customers an idea of when the accommodation was available for use.
  • I looked at several other Bed & Breakfast sites, and talked to Tricia about the information that she wished to see on the site, particularly looking to the kind of questions asked via e-mail to ensure that information is available on site.
  • A splash page with basic information, giving an indication of the look of the accommodation, and the awards that the Cottage has won, with carefully thought out meta-tags provided.

The site is structured into information about Mallard Cottage, the location of the Cottage, detail about the accommodation, the costs, contact details, general information about Winchester, a basic ‘current vacancies’, and a disclaimer.

  • I recommended jholt web site services to provide the live booking system. David & Tricia have now learnt how to keep the site updated for themselves, although I continue to provide answers, including on how to improve their search engine optimisation.
