Organization: AirTravel.com

AirTravel Vacations is a different type of Travel Company:

1. They offer over 1,400 personally selected quality hotels. Not all properties meet their criteria.

2. They provide an unbiased search of reliable international hotels - supported by a staff of personal & professional agents.

3. With price guarantees, insider information and price matching, their staff can usually find additional value and savings beyond an online booking quotation.

Goal:

Customer service, usability, information, and ease-of-use is the focus of the design. Many travel websites focus on booking tickets as the first step. AirTravel's approach is to let the customer choose what hotel and location suits them best...booking the ticket is the last step.

The website allows people the choice of a powerful, full-featured hotel/resort search engine with Airtravel's friendly, expert and professional team just a phone call away.

Solution:

The look: Professional, friendly and attractive, lush, clean, warm and visually rich - without being too cluttered.

Navigation is intuitive and easy to use. Information flow follows a logical path. The logo, colours and fonts are consistent throughout the site. The text is warm, friendly and descriptive.

Each page is coded and commented for the ease of future content management. Design, usability, SEO, copy-editing by Avocado.

Search functionality and content management system: TheOffice.com.

With over 200 search parameters, making a user friendly search engine interface was a formidable challenge. In response, TheOffice.com developed an industry leading in-line "AJAX" interface that provides immediate feedback to the user every time a search parameter is changed.

With fast response times, no page reloading, and some very cleaver HTML coding techniques, TheOffice.com was able to create a cross-browser-compatible search engine that is simple, easy to use, very user friendly and > light-years ahead of the competition.
