Cahernane House Hotel Website Spotlight
We engaged Sprint Digital to design our new website in September 2020. The results were amazing and I was blown away by their understanding of our hotel product and the feel we wanted to portray to our customers. They captured the essence of the hotel by their designs and creativity. Thanks to Siobhan in particular, she just got what we wanted and delivered... I would even say over-delivered! I have no hesitation in recommending them for a new website or any digital marketing requirements."
Overview
At Sprint Digital, we were thrilled to partner with Cahernane House Hotel to create a fresh, modern website that truly reflects the elegance and distinct character of this historic property. The decision to move from the old site to a new, updated version was driven by the need to enhance Cahernane’s brand presence online, increase direct bookings, and provide a seamless, enjoyable experience for visitors at every touchpoint.
Our team focused on capturing the hotel’s unique charm through high-quality, immersive photography and updated content that speaks to the luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere guests can expect. The new design highlights simple navigation, making it easier for guests to book directly.
Every detail, from the site’s visual appeal to the quality of its content, has been crafted to resonate with Cahernane House Hotel’s brand identity while also meeting the needs of today’s digital-savvy travellers. The result is a website that not only elevates Cahernane’s online presence but also serves as a valuable tool in driving direct bookings and enhancing guest engagement.
Our Objective
Our objective for the Cahernane House Hotel website was to create a platform that truly showcases the hotel as an elegant Manor House property, staying on-brand with a refined, immersive design. We prioritised high-quality images that capture the beauty and character of Cahernane while optimising these visuals to ensure fast load times for an exceptional user experience.
Direct bookings were at the forefront of our design strategy. We focused on an intuitive layout that draws visitors in, encouraging them to explore every corner of Cahernane House and sparking their anticipation for an unforgettable stay. Through carefully crafted content, appealing visuals, and a seamless booking process, we’ve designed a website that not only enhances Cahernane’s online presence but also effectively converts interest into direct bookings.
Our Challenge
The Process
Initial Meeting & Property Tour:
We began by meeting with the team at Cahernane House Hotel to understand their specific needs and goals. We also toured the property ourselves to gain a deeper understanding of its unique features and charm.
Site Layout & Sales Priorities: During the meeting, we discussed the best site layout to showcase Cahernane’s key selling points. We identified which aspects of the property were most important to highlight, ensuring that these elements were front and centre on the site.
Image & Video Collection & Optimisation:
We gathered a selection of high-quality images and videos that would best represent the hotel. These assets were then resized and optimised for SEO to ensure fast loading times and maximum visibility on search engines.
Content Creation:
We wrote compelling content throughout the site, emphasising the Best Rate Guarantee at every opportunity to encourage direct bookings and build trust with visitors.
User-Friendly Design:
To improve navigation, we created an easy-to-use drop-down menu and intuitive buttons, making it simple for guests to explore the site and quickly find the information they needed.
The Result
The new Cahernane House Hotel website is a faster, well-designed platform that enhances the user experience with easy navigation and a sleek, modern layout. The site is fully optimised, ranking highly on search engines, and showcases the hotel’s brand with stunning photography that does not compromise site performance. The guestrooms and dining experiences are clearly highlighted in the main menu, making it simple for guests to explore. The booking process is now simpler, with prominent “Book Now” buttons throughout, encouraging direct reservations.
Overall, the new website effectively supports Cahernane’s business goals while offering an engaging, user-friendly platform.
How can we help you?
How much does website design cost?
We don’t use templates or ‘off the shelf’ designs. Our websites are carefully crafted and completely bespoke to you and your business. From colour palettes and fonts to the layout and coding, everything is built from the ground up, including our quotes. If your new website budget is less than €5,000, it’s unlikely we’re the right fit for you. Custom websites tend to cost a little more based on the time and resources that we invest to get them just right.
