"As part of the site development we will be installing a new content management system that will work across both the sites, allowing components to be shared and making updates much easier to manage. We will also be using our extensive knowledge of hotel booking engines to improve the user experience on the Western House Hotel site, integrating the current iHotelier booking engine more effectively, to provide a seamless journey from the time the visitor lands on the site to the completion of their booking.
"In addition to the site development, we are also planning search and social media strategies in order to drive traffic to the sites, helping to raise awareness and build communities around events which will encourage repeat visits and increase revenue from the websites.
"The team at Equator are really looking forward to working with Ayr Racecourse and Western House Hotel, in order to produce two fantastic sites that will make visitors want to get involved and experience all that these award winning venues have to offer."
