Responsive Website Templates From DigitalRez Now Available For Hospitality Industry

DigitalRez • Jul 25, 2019
DigitalRez, a company with offices worldwide that delivers digital reservation systems to various markets, is proud to announce that they now offer a responsive website service for the hospitality industry, such as hotels and resorts. The templates available for these responsive websites include campground, hotel, RV parks, and marinas. Details are available at http://sitemobi.net/.

Kevin Hall from DigitalRez says: "We provide a way to easily make a responsive website for the hospitality and accommodation industry with no need to code. The SiteMobi system automatically imports all of the content from an old website into an attractive website template that can be customized by device. It is also possible to create websites from scratch using one of our templates. All of our responsive websites not only look great but follow Google's SEO best practices and come with various client getting features."

Clients will have to choose first which type of website they require, whether it is for hotel, campground, RV, or marina. These four categories cover a large part of the hospitality industry but if a business feels none of those categories represent them, they are encouraged to contact DigitalRez for further information.

After they have chosen their category, clients have to indicate whether they wish to convert their existing website into a SiteMobi site, which is mobile optimized. This is for those businesses who already have a functioning, good website but lack mobile optimization. Choosing this option ensures that customers are provided with a consistent brand experience.

Kevin Hall explains: "The vast majority of people now access the internet through their mobile devices. This is particularly true for those who wish to make reservations with or find out more about a certain hospitality business. It is essential, therefore, that these types of businesses have a website that follows best SEO practices so that they can be found, and also that they are mobile optimized so that they can be found on the go. Their mobile website must also be fully functional, so that visitors can access all the different features, such as a picture gallery, reservation system, and customer reviews. That is what we can do with an existing website."

The second option is for those who wish to create a brand-new website that is fully responsive as well as mobile optimized. The SiteMobi websites are designed to work on mobiles, tablets, and desktops. This creates brand consistency across all types of platforms, offering a professional look.

Once customers have chosen the type of website they want to have created, they can choose from any of the many templates that are available. As shown at http://sitemobi.net/hotel-templates/, there are many to choose from. Kevin Hall continues: "For the hotel industry, we have Blue Fish, Broadway, Cafe, Intro Landing, Liquorice, Mona, Popsicle, Sepia, and Yellow Brick. We may also add more templates at a later stage. Each comes with a consistent design, font, typeset, color, and more, creating a uniform look for your business."

Once clients have chosen the type of website they want to have created and the template of their choosing, they simply have to enter their contact details and DigitalRez will provide them with a custom quote that will show price and completion time. Kevin Hall explains: "Once you accept our quote, we will get to work on creating your website immediately so that it can become live before you know it. Don't forget that you can also incorporate the DigitalRez reservation system in your new website, which will give it even greater functionality. Do speak to us about this if you want to know more."

DigitalRez opened its doors in 1993 and from the start, they have focused on offering high quality and functional real time reservation systems. They have strived to make these affordable without compromising on quality or support. Over 4,000 operations across the world now use the company's RezExpert system. This system comes with 30 day rolling contracts, so people can opt in and out as they see fit. Their contracts include maintenance and software support, and additional modules can be added as and when required.

Those who have used the services of the company in the past have been very pleased with their results, not just in relation to the reservation system, but also in relation to the technical support they have received. DigitalRez, meanwhile, is committed to always improving the functionality and integration of the system, which is what has culminated into the new SiteMobi options. Those interested are encouraged to contact DigitalRez for more information.

DigitalRez has just announced that its February 2020 editions of its popular online camping eMags are now available for online viewing. This includes both the February edition of Campfire Travel and their quarterly eMag for Dog owners that take their pets camping. Each magazine edition is loaded with good information that is not found in any other type of camping magazines. Company spokesperson, Kevin Hall, says this about these two new February eMag editions, “As we do every month in our unique Campfire Travel magazines, we have looked far and wide to find interesting and useful camping material to write on. We have our regular State Focus section that looks for detailed camping information on several specific states and as usual some interesting tidbits of information for dog owners that camp with their canines in our other quarterly eMagazine. The response to both of these online publications has been overwhelmingly positive and we will continue striving to keep churning out useful information each month for our fans that can’t get enough good information to enhance their camping and RV lifestyles.” Hall says that that the February 2020 edition of their Campfire Travel Magazine that’s now posted on their website focuses on camping in the states of New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and Mississippi. Those who have never camped in New Mexico will enjoy the good information on that state's most popular tourist attractions such as the White Sands National Monument and the Bandelier National Monument. There is also detailed information on the interesting sights to see near the state’s historic city of Santé Fe. There are 6 attractions altogether in New Mexico that this latest edition of Campfire travel features. The spokesperson says that the Nevada section, of course, would not be complete without some information on how to best visit Hoover Dam. There is also information on the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and the exciting cities of Reno and Las Vegas. Arizona, which has long been a popular destination for campers and RV enthusiasts because of its natural scenery and year-round good weather, includes information on such attractions as Cathedral Rock, Havasu Falls, and Monument Valley. Hall says no camping trip to Arizona would ever be complete without visiting the Grand Canyon which they have covered in detail. The Mississippi section covers many historic areas of the state and has some good information on the majestic city of Tupelo and the Grenada Lake area. Hall also said that he thinks most readers will enjoy and be pleasantly surprised by the feature section the ‘Seven Fundamental Differences in Tents’. He says it contains tent information that even the most avid campers do not realize. There is interesting information on the different wall styles in tents and even some unusual tidbits relating to tent sleeves and clips. According to Hall, Campfire Travel continues to include some items in their February eMag that will help pass the time for families when traveling to their camping destinations traveling. This includes some funny and entertaining videos that other avid camping fans and readers have shared with them. There is also the challenging trivia section and several games that will entertain both adults and children. Hall also wanted to remind those that read the magazine not to forget to enter the monthly competitions that are detailed inside this edition. The spokesperson says it has several new recipes for easy road trip style snacks too. The spokesperson says that their eMagazine for Dogs continues to rise in popularity every 4 months and he thinks their exciting features in the February 2020 edition of the magazine will only add to that. Like its sister eMagazine Campfire Travel, it too features a section on tents but these are special tents made just for dogs. Hall says there are also the usual sections that focus on the ‘rules for camping with dogs’ and ‘the best types of behavior in dogs that go camping with their owners’. https://www.pressadvantage.com/story/34650-digitalrez-states-that-the-february-editions-of-campfire-travel-magazine-are-now-available-for-online

Canada based DigitalRez is pleased to announce that the January 2020 update for their popular RezExpert software system is now live. RezExpert is a software platform that serves as a reservation management system. It has a fully featured reservation and property management system that is suitable for a wide range of business needs. More details can be found at the following link: RezExpert Update . Kevin Hall, a representative for DigitalRez, says, “We have built an intuitive and innovative system that boasts rich, dynamic setup interfaces that can satisfy the needs of complex businesses, such as managed communities, resort networks and owner revenue sharing properties. With every update, we bring in new features that make our software more powerful, flexible and able to take care of more complex requirements. The January update fixes a number of issues that have caused inconveniences, and it also introduces new features that will make life easier for RezExpert users.” As part of the update, RezExpert will now allow payment before check-in for corporate bookings and no longer restrict payments, as previous versions of the software did. In addition, the ability to set where charges are placed by default for reservations is now available in the Business Setup panel. This flag allows a user to determine if the charges will, by default, be placed on either the reservation level or the Wholesaler/GDS level of the reservation. However, users will still be able to transfer specific invoices from one level to the next. On the backend, DigitalRez has also applied several software patches that add to RezExpert’s security measures. The update also brings with it a series of bug fixes, including a fix for the export count issue, improvements to the responsiveness of the guest list, a leap year fix, additional verification checks to the Payment Express, a fix to an issue where documents uploaded to individual Unit Types would not display on Online Confirmation, a Print Selector display issue fix for long term reservations and a number of miscellaneous bug fixes. Hall says, “We are very proud of RezExpert. The software can accommodate length and width sensitive units, multiple vehicle types, yield management, channel connections, unique lodge and experience packaging ideal for tours, rentals, golf tee times and a wide range of other verticals without any issues at all. With every update, you will find that RezExpert only gets better. If you have more than one business that needs reservation or property management services, our software is the right answer for you. With RezExpert, you can make sensible low cost, low risk buying decisions with no long term contracts and free demonstrations.” DigitalRez supports further customization of RezExpert and has released a number of different modules, addressing maintenance, ticketing, promo codes, reputation management, dynamic rates, credit card processing, timeshare management, automated emails and more. The company has also released a Mobile App, the RezExpert eGuestConnect App, through which users have access to a fully branded app for their businesses at a fraction of the cost that an app of this nature would usually merit. Hall says, “RezExpert supports near-endless customization to suit your business’ specific needs. All you have to do is pick the right modules for your needs and easily create a custom version of RezExpert that provides you with the solutions your business requires.” The in-depth customizability and the flexibility afforded by the RezExpert software has earned DigitalRez a lot of praise from satisfied clients. Seawind RV Resort says in their 5-Star review on Google, “Awesome Tech Support! When asked by other companies to change my reservation system, I emphatically answer no. I enjoy using this program for my campground needs. The others seem to want to charge more for a program that has too many features that I don't need. Y'all call at least once a month to see if we are having any issues with our program. That is wonderful and I hope you keep it up. Most of our issues have been resolved and for any that haven't, I know there is someone working on it. Outstanding Tech Support!” Those who want to learn more about DigitalRez or the variety of products and services the company provides, including RezExpert, the new update or any one of the modules available, can find more information on their website. Additionally, they encourage interested parties to get in touch with Kevin Hall directly via email or phone. DigitalRez also maintains a presence on Facebook where they post updates and communicate with their clients. https://www.pressadvantage.com/story/33734-digitalrez-releases-rez-expert-january-2020-update

This November 2019 eMag release is the 11th edition of this popular online travel magazine. The company’s online magazines cater to those who enjoy camping and RVing. Company spokesperson, Kevin Hall, had this to say on the November 2019 Campfire Travel e-Magazine release, “Our company’s motto is ‘We bring fun, entertainment and news to RV and Camping enthusiasts everywhere’. That is the focus of every Campfire Travel e-Magazine that we post online. The November 2019 edition is no different. It covers everything from exciting camping and RV destinations to fun activities that a family can do as they travel to their destination.” Hall said that each edition of the Campfire Travel e-Magazine is designed to focus around camping in just a few specific states. The November 2019 edition has camping and RVing articles that center on Kansas, Tennessee, Missouri, and Utah. It features articles on the most famous attractions in all these states. Some of the more generic camping articles that are covered in this edition include ‘Must have camping gear’ and ‘Snacking on the go’. Their November e-Magazine also has sections with easy point and click access to online games and some informational and funny videos. The 11th edition of the online magazine includes some 54 pages in all. These pages are full of useful camping information and ways for people to entertain themselves while on the road. All the e-Magazines that the company has distributed so far can be quickly accessed from their website . A user just has to follow the menu items across the top of the page until they get to one that says ‘e-Magazines’. Once a person gets to that, they simply click on it and then all the magazine editions that the company has distributed online will appear on the linked page. Hall also went on to describe what Campfire Travel is all about. He says the purpose of their e-Magazines are to both help entertain and inform those who like to go camping across Canada and the USA. The company makes available a new Campfire Travel e-Magazine edition on the 16th of every month. Campfire Travel’s activities are also complemented by their Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts and they have a convenient phone app too. Each edition of their e-magazines also includes some beautiful hi-resolution photos and they are fully downloadable. He mentioned that the company’s website is full of useful camping and travel information too. The point and click dropdown menu will help users access such topics as camping activities, camping trip suggestions, camping recipes, and the latest camping equipment. There is also an ‘RSS’ section that features blogs on many informational camping topics. The homepage even includes a handy campground and RV resort search feature. Among the most popular activities that the company does is their monthly online contests. These include the opportunity to win thousands of dollars in prizes each month. The prizes include such things as vacation stays, electronics, and gift vouchers. Campfire Travel’s contests can be accessed from the website or from links in their e-Magazines. The company is also very unique in other ways with respect to the camping information that they generate. An example of that is some of the Campfire Travel emags they produce are created for those that like to take their dogs with them when camping. They realize that camping is often a family affair and many times dogs are included in that circle. These editions do such things as list pet-friendly camping areas and give out pointers on how to prepare for a camping trip that includes a dog. There are even tips in these additions on activities to do with a dog when camping so they do not sit idle too often. So far, three editions of the online magazine that focus on taking a dog camping have been distributed online. https://www.pressadvantage.com/story/32803-digitalrez-announces-the-11th-edition-of-their-campfire-travel-e-magazine-is-now-available-online

Campfire Travel , a website dedicated to camping and RV enthusiasts, is pleased to share more details regarding their competition for November. Campfire Travel describes itself as an international team that seeks to reignite the public’s passion for camping and outdoor experiences. Kevin Hall, a representative for the company, says, “November’s competition is not one you want to miss. We’ve had some fantastic rewards before, but this time our competition’s winners will be treated to something absolutely fantastic: a two-day stay at one of the country’s best resorts, the Wine Ridge RV Resort & Cottages.” Campfire Travel describes the Wine Ridge RV Resort reward as so “Quiet and serene, nestled in Nevada’s premier vineyards and winery, we offer full amenities and the most magnificent desert and mountain vistas you can imagine. If you have a quad, Razor or rugged 4WD, you can join us for a tag-along off-road tour of the gorgeous Spring Mountains. Work out with our state of the art fitness equipment in our brand new fitness center. Enjoy the on-site wine tasting room at the award-winning on-site Pahrump Valley Winery.” The company’s descriptions provide an accurate picture, as reviews for the Wine Ridge RV Resort & Cottages all describe similar experiences. The resort has a 4.5-star rating on Google, aggregated over more than 130 reviews. In her review, Susan Casey-Leininger says, “We stayed in one of the cottages and loved it. It was impeccably clean and so comfortable. There were also tons of room—we only had two people but it easily could have slept four. Every person we encountered was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend staying there.” In addition to the two day stay at the resort, winners of the competition will also receive a number of other prizes. These prizes include a custom-made personalized shirt (male or female), a sturdy travel mug, a standard mug along with a fire pit. Campfire Travel holds these competitions on a monthly basis, and previous contest winners include Cassandra Darensbourg and Jenny Laundrie in May, Brian Castello and Gina El-Reedy (who won a stay at Triple C's Campground & RV Park in June) and Julia M. Schoennagel, Ryan Heron, and Kristyn O'Gorman (who won a stay at Camperland RV Resort & Cabins in August). Last month’s competition gave everyone a chance to win a two-day stay at Sunshine Valley, a beautiful site surrounded by the snow-capped Cascade Mountains only fifteen minutes past Hope, British Columbia. In addition to holding monthly competitions, Campfire Travel’s main focus is to bring fun, entertainment, and news to RV and Camping enthusiasts everywhere. Each month, the company focuses on four or five states across North America. The magazine also features campgrounds and RV resorts to give them more exposure. Every edition of the Campfire Travel eMagazine also includes about $1,000 worth of vacations and prizes to win via competitions. Kevin Hall says, “At Campfire Travel, we try to provide camping related fun and entertainment for the whole family. As such, our magazine takes your whole family into account, including your kids. If you read our magazine, you’ll find that they have embedded games for children and adults so that you won’t get bored during long drives when you go camping. They also have more practical features, such as the advanced Campground and RV Resort finder and directory, which allows you to find that extra special place to camp.” Those interested in learning more about Campfire Travel, the Wine Ridge Competition or the variety of services the company offers may visit their website to read further.

DigitalRez, a reservation and property management software company with offices in Barbados, Australia, and Canada, has announced that they have finished development on their new Community Based Tourism Tech website . The company had been working on this project for several months, and are now excited to share the results of their work with the public. The new platform promises to be a unique space where tourism professionals can gather and share their excitement for community-based tourism, advising and guiding each other on their activities and what affordable technologies are available to get their projects off the ground. Kevin Hall, a spokesperson of DigitalRez, states, "We are very excited to make this platform available to tourism boards, associations, and professionals around the world. Our expectation for this space is that it will be a valuable resource for all community-based tourism professionals. We will regularly be adding new information concerning community-based tourism, which is a promising area of the field that remains rather unexplored. We look forward to reading what the community has to say about this website and listen to their feedback. Ultimately, this platform is for their use, so we will be regularly updating it according to their experience on the site." The new Community Based Tourism Tech website is dedicated to sharing useful resources on community-based tourism. As the name suggests, it represents a branch of tourism that is owned and managed by communities whose intent is to deliver a broader benefit to the area's residents. Through this initiative, DigitalRez seeks to support a form of sustainable tourism that allows visitors to connect personally with the communities they visit. They provide valuable opportunities for visitors and locals alike, as the benefits of the initiative are gained mutually, and provide an experience that would not otherwise be possible. The company says, "The website offers the tourist a deeper experiential, participatory, cross-culturally interactive insight into local people, unique culture, traditions, music, environment, art, and craft than they would otherwise get and the community as key stakeholders can exercise greater control and accrue more benefits than they would otherwise receive. This form of tourism gives tourists authentic experiences while allowing revenue generated to remain in the community. There are no downsides to this, as these are job and revenue opportunities that would not otherwise be possible, which will, in turn, improve the experience of future visitors and community-based businesses." However, while it may seem like every step of this community-based tourism will be handled by locals, the company notes that they expect to complement this service with technology. The Community Tourism Tech initiative intends to demonstrate how the implementation of a technological ecosystem can help ensure the success of a community-based tourism pilot project. The benefits that this implementation will provide to the community include easing their transition into the digital economy, which will help the community access extra revenue for small and medium-sized, community-based businesses. This technology also promises to help the community thrive. An example of this is the inclusion of technologies that require little physical infrastructure, and even less maintenance, such as WiFi. This promises to help developing countries gain pace on adopting new technologies and provide them with opportunities to improve, in a significantly shorter period of time. The ultimate goal of promoting Community Based Tourism is to preserve the culture of local areas by encouraging residents to embrace visitors and share their lifestyle with them, rather than changing to fit the requirements of the tourism industry. The technology involved is merely a means of easing this process. DigitalRez is currently evaluating the cost of this system when applied at scale, as it is important to ensure that it is viable into the future. The new Community Tourism Tech website includes all information relevant to this new initiative, including case studies and the various challenges that the company is currently dealing with. Those who wish to learn more about this topic may reach out to Kevin Hall of DigitalRez to follow up on any inquiries. https://www.pressadvantage.com/story/31132-digitalrez-announces-launch-of-the-new-community-based-tourism-tech-website
