Our blog about web design, digital marketing and hotel technology
The collaboration of CloudHotelier with SiteMinder has reinforced our position as a web solution for hotels with a built-in reservation system.
This deal means a big change for the hotels and establishments that are enjoying our products at the moment, because all these clients are about to benefit from the new advantages that this bond will imply.
Suites & Spa is a new theme, specially designed for hotels with a luxurious and unique personality. It has a fullscreen with an enchanting photography presenting the hotel. Its menu and booking form in modal are what makes the website catch the eye of the visitor. It has a clean layout that plays with the minimalism of the design and the romanticism of the hotel.
When we create a website for a client, we always follow the same steps because it’s the best way to work.
In order to help users dealing with spam, email services add harder filters every day. Lately, we’ve seen how more and more legitimate emails are rejected by Hotmail, others are flagged as spam by Gmail, and so on.
Providing professional, reliable mail hosting is difficult, if not impossible, using existing mail management control panels. For this reason, if you have problems with your email, do not blame CloudHotelier, Joomla, or your hosting provider: we strongly recommend using a third-party mail hosting provider rather than using your own mail servers.
As you may have noticed, we have completely revamped our website! The reason is that with the release of our next generation of products, our old website was not useful anymore.
If you are new here, you have to understand that we have started from scratch. Everything! Our solutions, but also our pricing and business model have been renovated.
In the last months we have completely pivoted our business model, from an hybrid open-source/proprietary cloud service, to full open-source GPL solutions.
The new open-source version, is ready to download! We are sorry for the delay in this release, that has been caused by a deep refactoring of the whole system that we have been performing since February. We decided to do this refactoring based on the suggestions of our early beta testers.
As you may know Joomla 3.5.1 was released a few days ago, and it contains an API change that makes the system break when sending email from most extensions.
THIS IS A BETA RELEASE WITH NO SUPPORT - USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
We are pleased to announce the release of the first beta of our new products. This will be the “third generation” series and introduce a brand new version of every extension in our hotel website suite:
The first theme demo Flat, is online, so you can check-it out!
We plan to release the fist public beta during this week, the whole new system is actually in private beta, we are still working on the documentation and bug fixing. Please note that the release of the first beta will be only for testing, so no documentation and support will be provided till the production-ready version is released.
We plan to launch the first beta version by the end of this month. A production ready release is espectied in Oct/Nov 2015. The new release will include a new version of Cloud Admin Panel (that we will call Cloud Admin Pro), and a new version of the website building suite:
The new CloudHotelier Admin Pro panel will be open source, so it can be used as a normal Joomla extension (although you will continue to have the new product as managed Cloud service also).
With the release of CloudHotelier 3.1.7 we have introduced the ability to track Google Analytics e-commerce conversions, every time a reservation is processed on your hotel website.
With this new feature you will be able to obtain the conversion reports using Google Analytics, amongst other useful information.
The new version, that we plan to release in mid 2015 will provide the hoteliers the ability to set multiple rates for one single room. This will give the hoteliers more control over rates and simplify the availability update process.
