CARMEL, Calif.
The Carmel Mission Inn has unveiled its newly redesigned website developed by Connected Hospitality. The website, dubbed version 3.0, uses advanced "Content Management Systems" (CMS), HTML 5, cutting-edge photo galleries, high resolution videos, responsive design and a host of other advanced technologies to deliver a distinctive, informative online experience.
The strength of the website is its ability to act as the touchstone for a stay on the Monterey Bay Peninsula, providing a portal where guests cannot only make reservations and see exact specifications of rooms but can also view videos of the countless recreational opportunities and events that abound in Carmel-by-the-Sea and in Monterey CA. Like the hotel itself, the website is a destination within a destination, enabling guests to plan every facet of their Carmel CA vacation through viewing a single website.
At the heart of the redesigned website are the use of advanced "Content Management Systems" (CMS) and the implementation of the newest in web technology. CMS allows the sharing of responsibilities of website design and content management among designers, engineers, photographers, videographers, marketing experts, and hotel staff members. Through the use of CMS, each stakeholder has an active role in the creation and execution of the website.
For its website, the Carmel Mission Inn turned to Adobe's Business Catalyst system (BCS) for its CMS. By using a solid, nonproprietary platform like Adobe's BCS for this support, the hotel has access to dozens of the world's top IT staff and engineers to provide the most secure and flexible website environment possible while maintaining ownership and control over its website.
For the redesign, the Carmel Mission Inn chose Connected Hospitality for website design and implementation. The hotel felt this company offered design components, photography, video expertise, SEO and Hospitality PPC experience to drive the property's overall web positioning.
"Our intent was to develop a visually inspiring website that would not only showcase our hotel but also give the visitor a brief look at this world class destination," stated general manager, Bob Buescher. "In addition, we own the Content Management System which allows us to manage and control the site in cost effective collaboration with our designer."
The Carmel Mission Inn welcomes each person to visit its redesigned website and experience it for themselves firsthand.
