Tour operator websites, finished and hosted
A tour operator is selling something a customer cannot inspect, so the site has to do the work of standing in for it. The itinerary day by day, what is included and what is not, the group size, the fitness level, the dates that are still open and the price with a deposit figure. Every one of those left vague turns into an email you have to answer, and most people do not send the email.
These decks are built around a structured itinerary and a plain inclusions block, with the photography carrying the reason anybody wants to go. Departures are a list with dates and prices you edit yourself, so a sold-out date can be marked the day it sells. You fill in your own trips, photographs and terms through one form and it is live on a real address in under a minute, free for seven days. If you are bonded or a member of a trade body, that goes on the page: for a customer sending a deposit it is the single most reassuring line on the site.
From $9.99 a month, free for the first 7 days.
What a travel company website has to do
- The itinerary day by day, not a paragraph of adjectives
- What is included and, more importantly, what is not
- Departure dates with prices and the deposit, editable by you
- Group size and how much walking is actually involved
- Bonding or trade-body membership, because a deposit is an act of trust
Questions people ask first
How much does a travel company website cost?
$9.99 a month on the One plan, which is the floor and includes the hosting. The site is free for its first 7 days, and you pay only when you decide to keep it. There is no build fee, no setup fee and no charge for the preview.
How long does it take to get a travel company website live?
Under a minute. You pick a finished site, fill in one form with your name, your words and your pictures, and it is live on a real address straight away. There is no build queue and nothing to wait for, because the site already exists.
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes, on the Site plan and above. Every site starts on an address we give it, which works immediately and costs nothing, and a domain you own can be pointed at it afterwards without rebuilding anything.
Are these travel company websites real or mockups?
All 2 of them are running sites, not pictures of sites. Opening one shows you the same code that would serve yours, filled with our words until you replace them with your own.
