5 invisible best practices for your new hotel website

February 04, 2010 | Hospitality Industry

Worried that your new website is missing a few important details? Blizzard Internet Marketing lists five “invisible” yet practical best practices that will help your new hotel website.

404 Page Setup – A 404 error page is a “whoops” page that your website visitors see when they go to a malformed or non-existent web-page.  Make sure you have 404 page that fits the character of your website and shepherds all those lost visitors back into your website.  With a new website, you are bound to get a few “whoops” visitors.

301 Redirects - When you build your new website, your page names change. This confuses the heck out of search engines and can cause lower rankings and lost visitors.  Make sure you set up a 301 redirect for each old page of your website to a new page.
